As Rainbow Six Siege celebrates its tenth anniversary, Ubisoft has unveiled an exciting new chapter: Siege X. This major update, likened to CS2's transformation of CS:GO, promises to redefine the game's experience. Set to launch on June 10, Siege X will transition to a free-to-play model, opening the doors to a broader audience of tactical enthusiasts.
Key Changes in Siege X:
New Mode: Dual Front – Experience the adrenaline rush of a 6v6 match format that blends attack and defense operators. In Dual Front, teams aim to capture enemy zones and plant sabotage devices across a map divided into multiple areas—three zones per team and one expansive neutral zone. Players get a second chance with a respawn feature, returning to action just 30 seconds after being taken down.
Advanced Rappel System – Navigate the battlefield like never before with an upgraded rappel system that allows for both vertical and horizontal movement. This innovation opens up new strategic possibilities for players looking to outmaneuver their opponents.
Increased Environmental Destruction – The Siege X trailer teased enhanced destructibility, featuring new interactive elements like fire extinguishers and gas pipes that can be detonated, adding a layer of tactical complexity to each engagement.
Reworks for Five Popular Maps – Five beloved maps are in for a significant overhaul, promising refreshed environments that will challenge even the most seasoned players.
Graphical & Audio Enhancements – Ubisoft is set to dazzle players with a sweeping update to the game's visuals and sound, enhancing the immersion and realism of every match.
Improved Anti-Cheat & Toxicity Measures – A commitment to fair play and a positive community environment is evident with Ubisoft's focus on bolstering the anti-cheat system and implementing new measures to combat toxic behavior.
In anticipation of Siege X's launch, Ubisoft has announced a closed beta that will run for the next seven days. Players eager to get a first look at the new features can participate by tuning into Siege streams.
