Rainbow Six Siege 2 Leaked: Enhanced Visuals in Development

A recent leak from an insider known as fraxiswinning suggests Ubisoft will unveil Rainbow Six Siege 2 at the Six Invitational 2025, scheduled for February 14-16 at the MGM Music Hall.

The source claims the project, codenamed Siege X, utilizes a revamped engine boasting enhanced visuals, including overhauled textures and models. Furthermore, the insider indicates that past temporary events from the original game may not return, with Ubisoft reportedly focusing on entirely new event experiences. A projected release date falls within the second season of the game's tenth year of support, placing it around mid-2025.

This contradicts previous statements by Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis, who previously dismissed the need for a full sequel, citing the ongoing development of the current title. However, this leak suggests a potential shift in Ubisoft's strategy.

It's crucial to approach such rumors with skepticism. Until an official announcement from Ubisoft, this information remains purely speculative.

The Six Invitational 2025, the Rainbow Six Siege World Championship, is rapidly approaching. Twenty teams will compete in Boston for a $3,000,000 prize pool and the coveted championship title. Oxygen Esports, victors of the North American Last Chance Qualifier, secured the final qualifying spot.

The twenty-team competition is a departure from the norm. While Ubisoft may retain a similar format to last year's—four groups with round-robin matches between five teams, culminating in Double Elimination playoffs—alternative structures remain a possibility.

The typical playoff structure involves the first-place team receiving a first-round bye, the fourth-place team entering the lower bracket, the remaining teams starting in the upper bracket, and the last-place team in each group being eliminated.
