According to an insider known as fraxiswinning, Ubisoft is poised to unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 at the Six Invitational 2025, scheduled at MGM Music Hall from February 14–16. The insider claims that the project, codenamed Siege X, will feature an updated engine with enhanced graphics, including revamped textures and models. Notably, Ubisoft might opt out of bringing back the temporary events from the original game, focusing instead on introducing fresh events. The anticipated release date for this sequel is set for the second season of the tenth year of support, around mid-2025.
Previously, Alexander Karpazis, the creative director of Rainbow Six Siege, expressed that a full sequel was unnecessary due to the ongoing development of the current game. However, if the leak proves accurate, it seems Ubisoft might have reconsidered their stance. As always, rumors should be approached with caution, and without an official statement from Ubisoft, these details remain speculative.
The Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is fast approaching. In Boston, twenty teams will vie for a share of the $3,000,000 prize pool and the championship title. Oxygen Esports, having triumphed in the North American Last Chance Qualifier, rounds out the field of competitors.
The tournament format with twenty teams is unusual. While Ubisoft is likely to maintain the format from the previous year—four groups with a round-robin among five teams, followed by Double Elimination playoffs—there could be surprises in store. The top team from each group earns a bye in the first round, the fourth-place team starts in the lower bracket, the other teams enter the upper bracket of the playoffs, and the last-place team from each group is eliminated.
