Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege X: A Major Update, Not a New Game
Ubisoft recently unveiled Rainbow Six Siege X, not as a new game, but as a significant upgrade to the existing Rainbow Six Siege title, celebrating its upcoming 10th anniversary. The announcement, made on February 17, 2025, promises major gameplay enhancements and refinements.
March 2025 Showcase:
A dedicated showcase is planned for March 13, 2025, at 10:00 am PDT / 1:00 pm EDT in Atlanta, Georgia. This event will detail the extensive changes coming with Siege X. Limited in-person tickets ($10 USD, including a shirt and in-game cosmetic pack) are available to US and Canadian residents aged 18+ with unbanned Rainbow Six Siege accounts. A VIP giveaway, including flights and hotel stays, is also running for two lucky fans.
What to Expect:
Ubisoft teases "new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel, and major upgrades." Specific details will be revealed during the March showcase.
10th Anniversary & Season 1: Operation Prep Phase:
Rainbow Six Siege, initially launched December 1, 2015, for PS4, Xbox One, and PC (later ported to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S), is celebrating its 10th year. Season 1, "Operation Prep Phase," launching March 4, 2025, introduces a new operator, Aurora (deployable bulletproof doors), a new elite skin for Aruni, and a revamped reputation system.
While Season 10 launches before the Siege X showcase, the major Siege X upgrades are expected to be implemented on live servers at a later date. This significant update aims to further extend the lifespan of this long-running tactical shooter.
