Now in its tenth year, Rainbow Six Siege is embarking on a thrilling new chapter with the introduction of Siege X. Announced during today's presentation by Ubisoft, Siege X is poised to revolutionize the game much like CS2 did for CS:GO. Set to launch on June 10, Siege X will transition the game to a free-to-play model, making it accessible to a broader audience of players eager to dive into its intense tactical gameplay.
Key Changes in Siege X:
New Mode: Dual Front – This innovative 6v6 format blends attack and defense operators into a single match. Teams aim to capture enemy zones and plant sabotage devices across a map divided into multiple areas—three zones per team and one expansive neutral zone. Players will respawn just 30 seconds after being eliminated, ensuring a fast-paced and dynamic experience.
Advanced Rappel System – Siege X introduces an enhanced rappel system, allowing players to navigate both vertically and horizontally using ropes. This addition opens up new strategic possibilities and adds depth to the gameplay.
Increased Environmental Destruction – The trailer for Siege X highlighted new destructible elements within the game environment, such as fire extinguishers and gas pipes, which players can now blow up to gain tactical advantages.
Reworks for Five Popular Maps – Ubisoft is set to roll out major updates to five beloved maps, refreshing the game's landscapes and ensuring that veterans and newcomers alike find something new to explore.
Graphical & Audio Enhancements – Players can look forward to a significant upgrade in visuals and sound, enhancing the overall immersion and quality of the game experience.
Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures – Ubisoft is committed to fostering a fair and positive community. With Siege X, the developers are refining the anti-cheat system and implementing new measures to combat toxic behavior, aiming to create a more enjoyable environment for everyone.
In addition to these exciting changes, Ubisoft has announced a closed beta for Siege X, which will be available to players who watch Siege streams over the next seven days. This is a fantastic opportunity for fans to get an early taste of the new features and provide valuable feedback before the official launch.
