It has become a tradition for developers of popular esports games to make significant announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft is no exception, especially as Rainbow Six Siege approaches its tenth year. True to form, they've delivered something monumental: Ubisoft announced Siege X, a major upgrade for Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that this is not a sequel, but it's far more than just a simple update. We can anticipate that Siege X to Rainbow Six Siege will be akin to what Counter-Strike 2 is to Global Offensive—a substantial enhancement that feels like a new game, yet retains all the progress and data from its predecessor.
More details about Siege X will be unveiled at a special presentation scheduled for March 13. Ubisoft promises an extensive three-hour event, complete with a live audience in Atlanta. To mark the tenth anniversary of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft is also releasing a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, essentially providing an all-in-one collection to commemorate the milestone.
