A credible 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 with updated textures and character models. Furthermore, the source claims Ubisoft plans to forgo returning temporary events from the original game, focusing instead on entirely new content. A mid-2025 release is anticipated, aligning 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 dismissed the need for a full sequel. However, this leak suggests a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.
It's crucial to approach such rumors with skepticism. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, this information remains purely speculative.
Meanwhile, the highly anticipated Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is fast approaching. Twenty teams will battle in Boston for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the coveted championship title. Oxygen Esports, victorious in the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.
The twenty-team competition presents a unique structure. While Ubisoft may retain the previous year's format—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 top team receiving 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.
