A purported 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 alleged project, codenamed Siege X, reportedly utilizes a revamped engine boasting enhanced visuals, including overhauled textures and models. Furthermore, the source claims past temporary events from the original game may not return, with Ubisoft seemingly focusing on entirely new events instead. The anticipated release window is the second season of the game's tenth year of support – mid-2025.
This contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who had indicated a sequel wasn't necessary given the ongoing development of the current game. However, this leak suggests a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.
It's crucial to approach such rumors with skepticism. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all information remains speculative.
Meanwhile, the Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is rapidly approaching. Twenty teams will compete in Boston for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the championship title. Oxygen Esports, victors of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.
The twenty-team competition represents a unique structure. While Ubisoft may retain a similar format to last year – four round-robin groups of five teams, culminating in double-elimination playoffs – alternative formats remain a possibility. A likely playoff structure would see the top team receive a first-round bye, the fourth-place team entering the lower bracket, the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team in each group eliminated.
