Rainbow Six Siege 2 in Development, Ubisoft Updates Graphics

A recent leak from an insider, "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 an enhanced engine, boasting upgraded visuals with revamped textures and character models. The source also claims that past temporary events from the original game may not return, with Ubisoft focusing on entirely new event content. A projected release date falls within the second season of the game's tenth year of support, placing it around mid-2025.

This contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously downplayed the need for a full sequel, emphasizing the ongoing development of the current title. 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 Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, is rapidly 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.

This twenty-team competition represents a unique structure. While Ubisoft may retain a similar format to last year—four round-robin groups of five teams, culminating in Double Elimination playoffs—alternative formats remain a possibility. The likely playoff structure will see the top team receive a first-round bye, the fourth-place team entering the lower bracket, the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team in each group eliminated.
