On March 13, in an special event in Atlanta, Georgia, Ubisoft finally revealed the next chapter of Rainbow Six Siege: Rainbow Six Siege X.
While the current season Operation Prep Phase kicked off on March 4, all the players' eyes are already set on Rainbow Six Siege's Year 10 Season 2. However, although the upcoming season has already been revealed, Rainbow Six Siege's players have many unanswered questions.
Here's everything you need to know about when the next Rainbow Six Siege season will be deployed as well as when Rainbow Six Siege X is coming to the game:
Rainbow Six Siege X release date
Rainbow Six Siege X will be released on June 10, 2025. In other words, players will have to wait for almost three months to enjoy Rainbow Six Siege X in the game's live version.
What's coming in Rainbow Six Siege X?
Rainbow Six Siege X is the game's most transforming update ever. The team has worked in Rainbow Six Siege X for the last few years and the changes will revolutionize the game while also reinforcing the idea of Siege. Remember, this isn't a new game; Rainbow Six Siege X is a major update.
With Siege X we're taking Rainbow Six Siege to new heights. Launching June 10, at the start of Year 10 Season 2, this evolution of Siege builds upon everything that makes the game so special (...) Our philosophy remains the same: reinforce what makes Siege so unique. It's deep tactics, intense strategy, and the thrill of outsmarting your opponents - Alexander Karpazis, Ubisoft Montreal's Creative Director for Rainbow Six Siege.
Ubisoft is bringing Rainbow Six Siege's first-ever 6v6 game mode, Dual Front. In this game mode, players will be able to combine attackers and defenders as the team to secure more map control will win the match.
While Dual Front initially stole the show during the Rainbow Six Siege X Showcase, Ubisoft has mainly focused on the 5v5 experience as the team will introduce map overhauls, a new rapelling animation, first person shadows, destructible items, and many more.
If tweaks to the player's in-game experience weren't enough, Ubisoft has also made changes in terms of how the menu is displayed, as well as how the operator map ban phase works.
Here are the main changes coming to Rainbow Six Siege with Rainbow Six Siege X:
- Rainbow Six Siege X explained: Everything you need to know
