It has become a cherished tradition for developers of popular esports games to unveil major announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft, the mastermind behind Rainbow Six Siege, did not disappoint as the game approaches its monumental tenth year. The anticipation was high, and Ubisoft delivered with the announcement of Siege X—a significant upgrade to Rainbow Six Siege. The developers clarified that this is not a sequel but far more than a simple update. We can liken Siege X to Rainbow Six Siege as akin to what Counter-Strike 2 is to Global Offensive. It's an extensive upgrade that feels like a new game while retaining all the progress and data from the original.

Further details on Siege X will be unveiled at a special presentation scheduled for March 13. Ubisoft promises an exciting three-hour event with a live audience in Atlanta. To mark the tenth anniversary of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft is also releasing a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players a chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, essentially providing an all-in-one nostalgic experience.
