A recent leak from an insider known as fraxiswinning suggests Ubisoft will unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 at 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 with updated textures and character models. The source also indicates that past temporary events from the original game may not be carried over, with Ubisoft focusing on entirely new event 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 contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously downplayed the need for a full sequel, emphasizing the ongoing development of the current game. However, this leak implies a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.
It's crucial to approach this information cautiously. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all details remain speculative.
Meanwhile, the excitement builds for the upcoming Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, in Boston. Twenty teams will vie for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the coveted championship title. Oxygen Esports, victors of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.
The twenty-team competition presents a unique structure. While Ubisoft might retain the previous year's format—four groups with round-robin matches among five teams, leading to Double Elimination playoffs—alternative formats remain a possibility. A likely scenario involves a first-place team bypassing the first round, fourth place entering the lower bracket, the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team in each quintet being eliminated.
