As Rainbow Six Siege celebrates its tenth year, Ubisoft is ushering in a new era with the announcement of Siege X. Introduced during today's presentation, Siege X is poised to revolutionize the game much like CS2 did for CS:GO. Mark your calendars: Siege X is set to launch on June 10, and with this release, the game will transition to a free-to-play model, opening its doors to a broader audience.
Key Changes in Siege X:
New Mode: Dual Front – Get ready for an exhilarating 6v6 match format that blends attack and defense operators. The objective? Capture enemy zones and plant sabotage devices. The map is strategically divided into multiple areas, with three zones per team and a large neutral zone. Even if you fall in battle, you'll respawn after 30 seconds, keeping the action non-stop.
Advanced Rappel System – Elevate your tactical gameplay with an enhanced rappel system. Now, you can maneuver ropes both vertically and horizontally, adding a new dimension to your strategies.
Increased Environmental Destruction – The trailer teased exciting new destructible elements, including fire extinguishers and gas pipes that can be detonated. This adds even more chaos and unpredictability to your matches.
Reworks for Five Popular Maps – Five beloved maps are receiving major updates, ensuring fresh and dynamic environments for players to explore and master.
Graphical & Audio Enhancements – Ubisoft is not just stopping at gameplay. A massive visual and sound upgrade is on the way, promising an immersive and breathtaking experience.
Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures – The developers are committed to creating a fair and enjoyable community. Expect refined anti-cheat systems and stronger measures to combat toxic behavior.
Ubisoft has also announced an exclusive closed beta for Siege X, which will run for the next seven days. Players can gain access by tuning into Siege streams, ensuring they get a first-hand look at the game's exciting new features.
