A rumor suggests that a sequel to Rainbow Six Siege is in development and will be announced this year. With over 20 million copies sold, Rainbow Six Siege is not only Ubisoft's most successful game but also a popular title in the esports scene.
Ubisoft released Rainbow Six Siege in 2015, bringing a 5v5 shooter that, unlike other installments in the series, leaves out the campaign to focus on online play, although training modes can be accessed offline. Players have more than 60 operators to choose from, each inspired by anti-terrorist units from around the world. These characters have unique equipment that offers different tactical attack and defense options, adding an extra layer of strategy. Another notable gameplay element is the heavy focus on environmental destruction, where knowing how to reinforce or break passages in the maps is a key component to victory.

Rainbow Six Siege can be tough for newcomers to grasp, but these beginner-friendly operators make the first few games a little smoother.
A new rumor claims that Rainbow Six Siege is getting a sequel, which will be announced in February. The information comes from Twitter user fraxiswinning who claims that Rainbow Six Siege 2, allegedly called Rainbow Six X, will be announced at the Six Invitational 2025. The final event of this year's Six Invitational will take place on February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall in Fenway. One of the most notable esports tournaments, the Six Invitational brings together the top Rainbow Six Siege teams to determine the champion. Besides hosting the grand final, the last day is when Ubisoft traditionally makes announcements related to the shooter.
What to Expect from a Potential Rainbow Six Siege Sequel
According to the leak, Rainbow Six X has an expected release window of Year 10 Season 2, which is mid-2025. The new game will have a complete engine overhaul and significant graphical improvements, although the full scope of these changes has not been revealed. Another important piece of information shared by the leaker is the possible discarding of the old Rainbow Six Siege events, which they say “will never return.” Instead, the information is that the developers will opt for new events.
Like other leaks, Rainbow Six Siege players should take this information with a grain of salt. After all, rumors can change until there is official confirmation from the developers. While players wait for this year's Six Invitational, and to have confirmation whether a new game will be announced or not, a new season is underway. Named Operation Collision Point, one of the biggest changes is the Blackbeard rework, bringing a new round of changes to the veteran operator.
