In the world of esports, it's almost a tradition for developers to drop major announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft, the masterminds behind Rainbow Six Siege, certainly didn't break from this custom, especially as the game gears up to celebrate its tenth year. And boy, did they deliver!
Ubisoft unveiled Siege X, a monumental upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that this isn't a sequel, but it's far more than just a routine update. Think of Siege X in relation to Rainbow Six Siege as akin to what Counter-Strike 2 is to Global Offensive. It's an overhaul so significant that it feels like a new game, yet it retains all your hard-earned progress and data from the original version.
Mark your calendars for March 13, when Ubisoft will pull back the curtain on Siege X at a special three-hour presentation in Atlanta, complete with a live audience. The excitement doesn't stop there; to commemorate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has launched a special anniversary pack. This all-in-one pack offers fans the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, adding a touch of nostalgia to the celebration.
