Rainbow Six Siege X Won't Be a New Game, But Will Have Major Updates

Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege X: A Major Update, Not a New Game

Ubisoft recently unveiled Rainbow Six Siege X, not as a new game, but as a significant upgrade to the existing Rainbow Six Siege title, celebrating its upcoming 10th anniversary. The announcement, made on February 17th, 2025, promises major gameplay enhancements, refinements, and overall upgrades.

March 2025 Showcase:

A dedicated showcase is planned for March 13th, 2025, at 10:00 am PDT / 1:00 pm EDT in Atlanta, Georgia. This event will offer an immersive look at the changes coming with Siege X, including "new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel, and major upgrades." Limited in-person tickets ($10 USD, including a shirt and in-game cosmetic pack) are available to US and Canadian residents aged 18+ with unbanned Rainbow Six Siege accounts. A VIP giveaway, including travel and accommodation, is also being offered to two lucky fans.

Season 10: Operation Prep Phase:

Before the Siege X update fully rolls out, Season 10, titled "Operation Prep Phase," launches on March 4th, 2025, to mark the game's 10th anniversary. This season introduces Aurora, a new operator with deployable bulletproof doors, a new elite skin for Aruni, and a revamped reputation system.

Long-Term Vision:

Originally released in December 2015, Rainbow Six Siege has consistently received updates, establishing itself as a long-running live-service shooter. Siege X aims to further extend the game's lifespan and enhance the overall player experience. While the showcase will reveal specifics, the timing suggests the major Siege X upgrades will be implemented after the Season 10 launch.

The upcoming showcase promises exciting details about the future of Rainbow Six Siege.
