Rainbow Six is changing beyond recognition. Ubisoft has unveiled the roadmap for the game's 10th year, with the main event being the global Siege X update. A new 6v6 mode, map reworks, veteran rewards, and dozens of improvements await players starting in June.

Season 1 — Operation Prep Phase

In March, an introductory update called Prep Phase was released. It introduced a new operator, Rauora, the Reaper MK2 weapon, and a battle pass. This was the start of preparations for major changes.

Season 2 — Operation Daybreak

In June, the year's key update, Siege X, will be released. The game is entering a new era: the 6v6 Dual Front mode, the return of Unranked mode, enhanced movement, UI rework, and veteran rewards.

Full list of changes:

Season 4 — Anniversary and Major Remaster

The final season will be celebratory as the game turns 10 years old. Ubisoft has prepared an anniversary event, a remaster of an attacking operator, and cross-operator weapons.

What to expect in the season:

• Attacking operator remaster

Ubisoft is focusing not just on content but on a complete transformation of the gaming experience. The 10th year of Rainbow Six Siege will be a start of a new era, not a retrospective. With each season, the game will become deeper, more flexible, and modern. Players need to be ready for changes, as Siege will never be the same again.
