Ubisoft has revealed plans to show a seemingly massive new update for R6 called Rainbow 6 Siege X. According to Ubisoft, this will be “a new era” for the game. The Ubisoft Showcase will happen as the 10th year of content starts, which is why the company is trying to make some significant changes.
Exactly what Rainbow 6 Siege X will bring is uncertain, and we will have to wait for the Ubisoft Showcase to find out more. The event is specifically for this reveal and will be held on March 13 at at 10 am PT / 1 pm ET / 5 pm GMT.
The announcement came as a small YouTube video that doesn’t explain much, but fans have already started guessing what the hallway could mean. A lot of fans are thinking that the fire extinguishers might mean there will be more interactive elements in the maps.
The event can be watched on the official Rainbow 6 Siege Twitch channel and will be streamed from Atlanta, GA. Ubisoft stated that Rainbow 6 Siege X sets the stage for the following years of the game.
This project has been in the works for a while and is the biggest overhaul since the game’s initial release. You can expect some tactical gameplay additions, gameplay refinements, and upgrades “all around.”
Rainbow 6 Siege originally came out in 2015 and is now playable on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S|X, and PC. The game has had a steady following due to its stable competitive scene, and the latest update aims to give the game a fresh start.
Ubisoft has been going through some tough times recently, with dropping revenues and a lack of consumer trust. The company has been on a path to remedy these issues by fixing its games that fell short in terms of quality, like Star Wars Outlaws, and delaying Assassin’s Creed Shadows to make sure it is up to the standards fans expect. The Rainbow 6 Siege X update seems to be part of that effort.
