The announcement of Siege X makes it clear that the esports scene is only going to expand, but we also asked about potential new gameplay systems that could shake up the meta, like the possibility of secondary gadgets being selected independently from operators.

The spectator camera may also see some changes soon, though Alex couldn’t share a release date for the improvements.At the Siege X reveal, Esports Illustrated sat down with Alexander Karpazis, Creative Director at Ubisoft, to learn more about the team’s goals in developing a fresh experience for Rainbow Six Siege players.

Inside each reworked map, destructible ingredients will add new ways to interact with each environment, but they’ll also offer opportunities for competitive players to outsmart the enemy team. One example is a fire extinguisher that provides a smoke screen once destroyed.Dual Front will offer a completely fresh way to enjoy Siege. The respawn mechanic is a huge step outside of the shooter’s typical formula, but it’ll offer a great way for casual fans to transition into ranked play. When asked about esports potential in Dual Front, Alex said:Siege fans have a lot to look forward to in 2025. Each season in Year 10 could add more revamped maps and graphical enhancements to help modernize Siege X. Mark your calendars for June 10th, as that’s the dawn of a new era for Rainbow Six Siege.“Our hope is that the competitive community keeps on getting bigger and better. I think our Esports community is amazing; they’ve been really passionate in introducing even more players to what Siege has to offer. More Esports competitions would be the dream.”
