Speculation has been rampant for quite some time regarding a potential successor to Ubisoft’s hit tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege – but we now have clarity. Instead of a sequel named Siege 2, Siege X was launched on June 10, representing a significant update designed to set the stage for the future of Rainbow Six Siege after over a decade.
This update was accompanied by an eye-catching trailer, as Ubisoft has been making a concerted effort to promote it. It is described as the most comprehensive update ever released for the shooter. While the new content is somewhat minimal, with a new game mode being the primary feature, extensive modifications have been made behind the scenes. All game mechanics have undergone a complete overhaul, and the visuals have been refreshed.
Additionally, you can now access Rainbow Six Siege for free. The developers have transitioned to a Free2Play model. However, new operators are still available for purchase. Therefore, you will not only need to spend money on cosmetic items but also for acquiring new characters.
