In the world of esports, it has become customary for developers to unveil major announcements just before the grand finals of their world championships. Ubisoft, staying true to this tradition, has made a significant revelation as Rainbow Six Siege celebrates its tenth year. Fans were treated to a surprise announcement: the introduction of Siege X, a substantial upgrade to the beloved tactical shooter.

Siege X isn't labeled as a sequel, but it's far more than a mere update. Ubisoft has hinted that Siege X to Rainbow Six Siege will be akin to the transformation from Counter-Strike: Global Offensive to Counter-Strike 2. This means a comprehensive overhaul that feels like a new game, yet it will seamlessly carry over all player progress and data from the original version.

Mark your calendars for March 13, as Ubisoft has scheduled a special three-hour presentation in Atlanta, complete with a live audience. This event promises to dive deep into the details of Siege X. In addition, to commemorate a decade of Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft is rolling out a special celebratory pack. This pack offers players a chance to unlock legendary skins from the game's earliest seasons, essentially providing an all-in-one nostalgic experience.
