Rainbow Six Siege

Season 6 of the professional Rainbow Six Siege scene concluded with the record breaking Six Invitational 2018. After a brief pre-season period, professional play is kicking off today with season 7 of Pro League.

Ubisoft have made it a habit to design their games by way of apology. Most of their active cash cows were a yawn-fest on launch and improved later, grandiose apologetic gesturing included. Why not release a finished game to begin with?

Rainbow Six Siege grinding is going to be a lot easier after 6 March 2018. Renown costs for the original 20 operators will be removed for all game editions except for Starter and attachments will be free entirely.

Balancing a video game is not an easy feat, especially when your game is both a booming eSport and a somewhat realistic tactical shooter. Rainbow Six Siege's balancing team is having some trouble, and players are having a blast with it.

Rainbow Six Siege is getting a "games as a service" treatment. Ubisoft is currently more interested in the longevity of their title than in developing a sequel. Rainbow 6 Siege will get 100 Operators total. In-game loot boxes will be available for a limited time and only offer cosmetics.

Ubisoft is determined to keep Rainbow Six Siege fresh, to the point of adding a whole new game mode in co-op format for a four week long event. Outbreak also aims to create more character depth for the existing operators seen through cinematics.

Rainbow Six Siege seems to be like fine wine that just keeps getting better and the weekend behind us serves to prove it. On top of The Six Invitational main event, Ubisoft revealed the new operators, Outbreak gameplay and announced free operator unlocks.

Ubisoft is holding another free weekend for Rainbow Six Siege. The free weekend will start on 15 February 2018 and end on different days depending on your preferred platform. Owners of Rainbow Six Siege will soon start getting the game's third year of content updates.

The Six Invitational 2018 is Rainbow Six Siege's biggest event and the pinnacle of the game's competitive scene. It is already in full swing as the group stage started on 13 February 2018 but the main event starts this weekend.

Ubisoft released its sales figures for the third fiscal quarter of 2017-18. The report shows that the sales have surpassed the targeted amount. Ubisoft expects the sales form the fourth quarter to come in at approximately £398.76 million.
