Breaking: Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege Sequel Leaked

A recent leak from an insider, "fraxiswinning," suggests Ubisoft will unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 during the Six Invitational 2025, scheduled for February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall.

This purported sequel, codenamed "Siege X," reportedly utilizes a revamped engine, boasting enhanced visuals through updated textures and character models. Furthermore, the source claims that past temporary events from the original game may not return, with Ubisoft focusing on entirely new content. A projected release date falls within the second season of the game's tenth year of support, placing it around mid-2025.

This news contrasts with previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who indicated a sequel wasn't necessary given the ongoing development of the current title. However, this leak suggests a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.

It's crucial to approach such rumors with skepticism. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, this information remains purely speculative.

The upcoming Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is generating significant buzz. Twenty teams will contend in Boston for a prize pool of $3,000,000 and the coveted championship title. Oxygen Esports, victors of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.

This twenty-team competition represents a unique structure. While a format similar to last year's—four round-robin groups of five teams, culminating in Double Elimination playoffs—is anticipated, alternative arrangements remain a possibility.

The typical playoff structure involves a first-place team receiving a bye in the first round, fourth place entering the lower bracket, the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team from each group being eliminated.
