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. Furthermore, the source claims Ubisoft intends to forgo returning temporary events from the original game in favor of entirely new content. A projected release date is slated for mid-2025, coinciding with the second season of the game's tenth year of support.
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 iteration. However, this leak indicates a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.
It's crucial to approach this information with caution. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all details remain speculative.
Meanwhile, the highly anticipated Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is rapidly approaching. Twenty teams will battle in Boston 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 inclusion of twenty teams marks a unique tournament structure. While Ubisoft might replicate the previous year's format—four round-robin groups of five teams, leading into a double-elimination playoff—alternative structures remain a possibility.
The anticipated playoff format likely involves a first-place bye, fourth-place entry into the lower bracket, remaining teams entering the upper bracket, and the elimination of each group's last-place finisher.
