Ubisoft has officially announced the date of the presentation of the new season of Rainbow Six Siege - 16 February at 20:00 CET. Players from all over the world will be able to follow the livestream on the game's twitch, where the developers will showcase game updates, new mechanics, and possibly announce global changes. This is expected to be the unveiling of the Siege X update, which, according to preliminary information, will be a free update for the game, not a separate new version.

Y10S1 may be modest before global changes

A well-known Shiny analyst said that Y10S1 may be less significant compared to other seasons of the year. The developers have focused most of their efforts on Siege X, so the last updates in Y9 mainly included repainted skins and recurring events.

Ubisoft is investing significant resources in the next generation of Siege, and fans hope that these efforts will meet expectations.

New RAUORA hero: what do we know?

According to rumours, the new season may feature a RAUORA operator whose gameplay resembles Castle and Aruni, but for attacking. His gadget allows you to install metal doors that open from the bottom up, like a garage door. This can give the attack more opportunities to control the space and create new meta-strategies.

In addition, the operator is expected to receive the 417 DMR main weapon and possibly a new pistol with a unique sight. However, all these details are still at the level of insider leaks.

Community reaction

Players are already actively discussing the upcoming announcement. Some are looking forward to radical changes, while others fear that the first season of the new year will not meet expectations. For example, one of the comments in X:

‘I've been waiting for 10 years! This is going to be epic!’

Ubisoft has already launched a marketing campaign for Y10 and Siege X, so fans can expect more announcements in the near future.

Will the rumours be true and will Siege X be the game-changing update? We will find out very soon.
