Now in its tenth year, Rainbow Six Siege is embarking on a new chapter with the introduction of Siege X, unveiled by Ubisoft during today's presentation. Much like CS2 was to CS:GO, Siege X marks a significant evolution for the game, set to launch on June 10. Excitingly, with this release, Rainbow Six Siege will transition to a free-to-play model, opening its doors to all players.
Key Changes in Siege X:
New Mode: Dual Front – This innovative 6v6 match format blends the roles of attack and defense operators. Teams compete to capture enemy zones and plant sabotage devices. The map features multiple areas, with three zones per team and a large neutral zone in the center. Players can respawn just 30 seconds after being taken out, keeping the action fast-paced and intense.
Advanced Rappel System – The new rappel mechanics allow for both vertical and horizontal movement, offering players more tactical options during gameplay.
Increased Environmental Destruction – The trailer highlighted new destructible elements, including fire extinguishers and gas pipes that can be detonated, adding another layer of strategy and chaos to matches.
Reworks for Five Popular Maps – These beloved maps are receiving comprehensive updates, enhancing the overall gameplay experience.
Graphical & Audio Enhancements – Ubisoft is committed to a major overhaul of the game's visuals and audio, promising a more immersive experience for players.
Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures – The developers are intensifying efforts to refine the anti-cheat system and address toxic behavior within the community, aiming to create a more welcoming environment for all players.
Ubisoft has also announced a closed beta for Siege X, which will be accessible 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 full launch.
