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, following this trend, did not disappoint, especially as Rainbow Six Siege celebrates its tenth year. The excitement was palpable when Ubisoft unveiled Siege X, a major upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that Siege X is not a sequel but far more than a simple update. It's akin to the transformation from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Counter-Strike 2—a substantial enhancement that feels like a new game while retaining all player progress and data from the original.
More details about Siege X will be revealed during a special three-hour presentation on March 13, which will be held live in Atlanta with an audience. To mark the tenth anniversary of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft has also released a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players the chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, providing a nostalgic all-in-one experience for fans.
