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, including overhauled textures and character models. The source also claims 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 places the game launch during the second season of the game's tenth year of support, around mid-2025.
This contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously downplayed the need for a full sequel, citing the ongoing development of the current game. However, this leak indicates a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.
It's crucial to remember that this information remains unconfirmed. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all details should be considered speculative.
Meanwhile, the anticipation 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 may retain the previous year's format – four round-robin groups of five teams leading into a double-elimination playoff – alternative formats remain a possibility. A likely scenario involves a first-place team receiving a bye in the first round, fourth-place teams entering the lower bracket, the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team in each group being eliminated.
