Rainbow Six Siege has been a big hit and lately, there have been whispers about a possible sequel, rumored to be called ‘Siege X.’ Rumor suggests that this new game might have a totally revamped engine and better visuals.
Here is all that we know about the recent Rainbow Six Siege 2 leak.
Details of Rainbow Six Siege 2 Leak
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, which came out in 2015, has turned into one of the best tactical shooters out there. The game is super popular because it’s all about team strategy, and Ubisoft has been really good about keeping the game fresh with new updates.
Now, recent rumors have surfaced suggesting that Ubisoft is working on a sequel to Rainbow Six Siege, tentatively titled “Siege X.” According to a leak from X (formerly Twitter) user “fraxiswinning,” Ubisoft is expected to announce the new game at the Six Invitational 2025, taking place from February 14-16, 2025, at the MGM Music Hall in Fenway.
The leak suggests that “Siege X” will feature a complete overhaul of the game engine, resulting in enhanced graphics, including improved textures and models.
It is also speculated that the sequel may not feature some of the limited-time events from the original game. Instead, Ubisoft is rumored to be focusing on introducing entirely new events to offer players fresh experiences.
Anticipated Rainbow Six Siege X Release Timeline
fraxiswinning says that Ubisoft is planning to drop “Siege X” during Year 10, Season 2 of Rainbow Six Siege. This would be around mid-2025, which means between April and June.

Currently planned (and on track) to be revealed at SI 2025.
A likely release window is Y10S2.
It will include an engine overhaul and a graphical upgrade in textures and models.
Possible that all old events will never come back in Siege X. Only new ones.
For some context, “Year 10” is just a fancy way of saying the 10th year since the game first came out in 2015, so that’s 2025.
The game has seasons each year, and Year 10 has four seasons. However, this info is based on leaks, though, so nothing’s official from Ubisoft yet.
Ubisoft’s Previous Stance on a Sequel
During the Siege Invitational in Brazil in February 2024, Rainbow Six Siege’s Creative Director, Alexander Karpazis, shared his thoughts on the idea of a sequel.
He said that making a new game or switching to a new engine might not be the best move for the franchise. He pointed out how other games that tried sequels struggled because they had to rebuild everything from the first game.
Karpazis said, “I’m not going to name names, but you see games that did go through sequels and just totally messed up because they had to redo everything they did in the first game.”
Instead of starting fresh, Karpazis believes in improving the current game little by little. He’s sure that with the team and the tools they have now, Siege can keep going strong and stay competitive. “We really do know that this is a game that can last forever with the people and the talent and the tools that we have today,” he added.
Well, with the official stance being unclear and the recent leak about Rainbow Six Siege 2 is unconfirmed; it’s best to wait for Ubisoft’s official announcement.
