The developers say that it is not Siege 2, but the original game will receive improved graphics and gameplay.
«This is not just another update. This is not Siege 2, and this is not just another update. This is a major evolution,» Ubisoft representatives said during the announcement. This is reported by Insider Gaming.
According to them, Siege X will expand and strengthen the very foundation of Rainbow Six Siege so that it «remains the pinnacle of tactical PvP first-person shooters.»
«This means significant graphical and audio updates, improved gameplay, and new ways to enjoy the game, all while staying true to what makes the core of Siege so special,» the developers noted.
They released a short teaser for Siege X, but the 3-hour world premiere of Siege X will take place on March 13th in Atlanta.
It is reported that Ubisoft has been working on Siege X and the many improvements it will bring for three years. The project was kept secret and was not leaked before the official announcement, like many other Ubisoft games, but rumors have been circulating in the gaming community that the company may be working on Siege 2.
It was later revealed that the developers had given the press and creators early access to Siege X and shown how it improved upon the original Rainbow Six Siege.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is a 2015 tactical online shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft. It is part of the Rainbow Six series and the successor to Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6: Patriots, a tactical shooter that was more narrative-focused. After Patriots was canceled due to technical issues, Ubisoft decided to reboot the franchise.
The game is powered by AnvilNext 2.0 and also uses Ubisoft’s RealBlast technology to create destructible environments. The game was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One on December 1, 2015, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S exactly five years later, on December 1, 2020.
Ubisoft partnered with the Electronic Sports League (ESL) to make Siege an esports discipline. As of December 2020, the game has surpassed 70 million registered players across all platforms.
