Rainbow Six Siege Devs Have No Plan For A Sequel

4.4
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege has turned out to be an extremely successful game for the developer Ubisoft. It has started Year 3 of free content drop for all users along with the announcement of new version of the game being released at retail. In a developer panel held at the 2018 Invitational Finals, some comments were made on the future of the game and any potential sequel along with its userbase.

The full panel was live steamed today. It has been summarized by reddit user URZ_ so you can find out all the important details below in case you don’t have the time to watch it.

  • No sequel is planned. They literally said they were there to stay for 10 years, tho i’m not sure how literally that should be taken.
  • The active player-count is still growing, 27 million total players. (Might include people who played during free weekends)
  • 8 new operators are coming in Year 3. Goal is still hitting a 100 operators eventually.
  • Changes coming to the standard edition. You will now start with all 20 legacy (original) operators unlocked.
  • In the future all weapon attachments will be free and unlocked from the go.
  • The problem child that is starter edition will go from 4 free operators to 6.
  • They are adding new Data-centers in South Africa and South Europe.
  • Pick and Ban is coming for operators in Pro-league. Bans are for the whole game.
  • Pro-league will be 1 team attacking 5 times followed by the other team attacking 5 times.
  • They will be working hard on improving the Pro-league in general. They are first of all reworking the observation tool.
  • Some maps will be renovated and rebalanced. Bomb-mode will be the focus for map design. (Extremely good in my opinion.)
  • The map “Yacht” is coming back to casual.
  • The Map “Hereford” will be the first map to be reworked.
  • Every season (at least that is the goal. Changes will ship when ready) a map will receive a buff. Small changes that should help improve the meta on the map, mostly through improving specific objectives to make more bomb-sights viable.
  • First map to receive a buff is “Clubhouse”. Bar-room and Top floor will both be buffed. They are aiming for season 2 as the goal for completion.
  • Esports is there to stay.
  • Lan-competitions will happen. Dreamhack got name dropped but didn’t catch the context.

Craig There will always be another one, maybe not by the same devs, but there will be another.


My guess is the people who left sledgehammer will collaborate with them.


Well if that's true, God help us all!

Tom Dont see how a sequel would take place. No story in the game and its better for them to just keep adding to this game.


Very true. You cant really make a sequel to a game with no story.. Just a new game with different maps and new guns. Just add those to the existing game.


Exactly, or just make a huge DLC kind of like a sequel to the game. (similar to what games have been doing nowadays)


To be honest. Releasing a new game would be a hassle if there is no story behind it. This would be good but the real question is... what will they be adding in the future??

2019 Dang, they should do a sequel. It would be fun!


What would the sequel be about, just the same exact game with new guns and different maps and different operators. Just add those into the existing game and it would be fine.
