Rainbow Six Siege keeps going from strength to strength. Since the FPS game’s launch in December 2015, the number of players regularly diving in has steadily risen, with just a few dips in player count here and there. Now, it’s just broken a player count record, posting a new, all-time high number of concurrent players on Steam.
Rainbow Six Siege players are once again losing access to Clash. The on-again, off-again, on-again, off-again, on-again, and now off-again Operator is the subject of yet another exploit, so she’s off the table for Siege fans. Ubisoft has not provided details on the nature of the exploit, but one nasty glitch in particular has been making the rounds among players.
Rainbow Six Siege doesn’t feature respawning. Once you’re dead, you’re dead, until the next round begins. It’s a distinctive feature of the tactical shooter, but that nearly wasn’t the case – publisher Ubisoft initially suggested that, in order to appeal to more players, this aspect would be “the first thing that’s going to get cut”.
When Rainbow Six Siege arrives on the next generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles, it’ll be the same Siege PC players are already playing. Ubisoft says the transition to next-gen consoles will be completely seamless for PC.
Rainbow Six Siege is ready to begin what Ubisoft is calling a ‘transitional’ year for the game, one that’s bringing significant changes to its cadence of new content. Year 5 will see six new operators instead of the customary eight, and the development team tells us we won’t be seeing new maps until reworks of all existing maps have been completed.
They said they would never, ever rework Tachanka, one of the most memed operators in all of Rainbow Six Siege, but Ubisoft has unveiled its vision for a reworked Tachanka that looks truly formidable.
Amid the reveal of Operation Void Edge and the Rainbow Six Siege Year 5 reveal, Ubisoft has also revealed some exciting changes to the format, structure, and sustainability of its flagship esports title.
Rainbow Six Siege year 5 is coming up fast, and Ubisoft has just confirmed a whole bunch of early speculation, teasers, and datamining with a fresh teaser for upcoming content. The publisher’s regional PR branches seem a bit conflicted on what they’re actually announcing today, but at a minimum it appears year 5 will indeed take us to Greece and see the launch of the datamined Stadium map.
Rainbow Six Siege launched to a muted response way back in 2015, but over the course of nearly a half-decade of continuous updates and improvements, it’s become one of the biggest and most-loved multiplayer games on the market. It’s one of the vanguards of a new era in online shooters, and now Siege is about to enter a new era of its own as its lead developers leave to pursue new projects.
Ubisoft’s Black Friday sale is offering huge discounts on some of its latest games, and on its merch too. Yes, that’s right, if you’ve been holding of buying that Assassin’s Creed hoody you’ve always wanted, now’s the perfect time to wear your gaming allegiances literally on your sleeve.
