A recent leak from an insider, "fraxiswinning," suggests Ubisoft will unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 at the Six Invitational 2025, scheduled for February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall.

This purported sequel, codenamed "Siege X," reportedly utilizes a revamped engine boasting enhanced visuals, including overhauled textures and character models. The source claims that past temporary events from the original game may not return, with Ubisoft focusing on entirely new content. A projected release date is slated for mid-2025, coinciding with the second season of the game's tenth year of support.

This news contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously downplayed the need for a full sequel. However, this leak indicates a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.

It's crucial to approach this information with caution. Until official confirmation from Ubisoft, all details remain speculative.

Meanwhile, the excitement builds for the upcoming Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, Six Invitational 2025, in Boston. Twenty teams will vie for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the coveted championship title. Oxygen Esports, victors of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.

This twenty-team tournament presents a unique structure. While a format similar to last year's – four round-robin groups of five teams, followed by a double-elimination playoff – is likely, unexpected changes remain a possibility. The anticipated playoff structure would see the top team receive a first-round bye, the fourth-place team entering the lower bracket, and the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, with the last-place team in each group eliminated.
