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, is reportedly built on a revamped engine boasting enhanced visuals, including overhauled textures and models. The source also claims that past temporary events from the original game may not be carried over, with Ubisoft focusing on entirely new events instead. A projected release date places the game launch in the second season of the tenth year of support for the original title – mid-2025.
This news contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously stated a full sequel wasn't necessary due to the ongoing development of the current game. 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 Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is fast approaching. Twenty teams will compete 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 twenty-team tournament presents a unique structure. While Ubisoft may retain a similar format to last year – four round-robin groups of five teams, followed by a double-elimination playoff – alternative formats remain a possibility. The anticipated playoff structure would see the first-place team receive a first-round bye, the fourth-place team entering the lower bracket, and the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, with the last-place team from each group eliminated.
