The tactical shooter that has dominated the FPS space for almost a decade is getting a new lease on life. 《Rainbow Six: SiegeSince its launch in December 2015, it has been unique with its tactical depth that is different from the “Call of Duty” and “Battlefield” series. It cleverly integrates the tactical core of “Counter-Strike” with the emerging hero shooting elements at that time, and successfully crosses two console generations through innovative mechanisms such as destructible scenes, tactical layout and electronic device detection.
But this classic does need to be comprehensiveevolve。 On the occasion of the 10th anniversary,UbisoftAnnounced the upcoming release of Rainbow Six Siege X, built on the new engine. This is not a sequel or spin-off, but rather a new upgraded version that aims to replace the original and open the next decade for players. According to officials, the new engine will significantly improve the efficiency of content updates and make the game mechanics more dynamic.
The free-to-play game will be officially launched in June and promises to be one of the biggest releases of the summer. The latest leaked information shows that Ubisoft has prepared regular actions such as battle passes and content updates for the first year of operation, and what is even more remarkable is that the game will be deeply linked with another popular IP in 2025.
According to the leaks, players will be able to get iconic skins from the Borderlands series, including classic character skins such as Madman and Lilith. This crossover is no stranger to the “Rainbow Six” series, which has previously launched co-branded skins such as “Halo” Master Chief and “Like a Dragon” Kazuma Kiryu. It is worth noting that “Borderlands 4” is expected to be released this fall, and this crossover is likely to be to build momentum with the new game. Although Ubisoft and Gearbox have not yet been officially announced, more details may be revealed before or after the game launches in June.
