It's become a time-honored tradition for developers of popular esports games to drop major announcements right before the grand finals of the world championship. Ubisoft, the masterminds behind Rainbow Six Siege, are no exception. As the game gears up to celebrate its tenth year, the anticipation was sky-high for something monumental. And they delivered!
Ubisoft has unveiled Siege X, a significant upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers have made it clear that this isn't a sequel, but it's far from a mere update. Drawing parallels, we can infer that Siege X to Rainbow Six Siege will be akin to the transformation from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Counter-Strike 2. It's a game-changing upgrade that feels like a new game while preserving all your progress and data from the original version.
Mark your calendars for March 13, as Ubisoft has promised a special three-hour-long presentation event with a live audience in Atlanta. This event will unveil more details about Siege X. And to commemorate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has launched a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons—an all-in-one treasure trove for fans and newcomers alike.
