Ubisoft has laid off more than 100 staff, continuing what feels like an unending wave of layoffs across the video games industry. The latest job losses spanning visual effects and IT departments come less than six months after the Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six publisher made dozens of custom service staff redundant.

Rainbow Six Siege's «Reputation» mechanic is still reportedly seeing a number of problems with its implementation, notably incorrectly flagging players for harmful in-game behavior. Honor systems have been a staple of plenty of online games, encouraging players to practice good sportsmanship and treat fellow players with respect. Competitive games like League of Legends have often featured special rewards tied to honor systems, including Chests for players to acquire new League of Legends skins. Now, Siege's honor system is seeing a few hiccups.

The new Halo crossover for Rainbow Six Siege contains a cool reference to Reach, one of the main planets from the Halo series. Although the addition of Spartan Kelly-087 to Rainbow Six Siege was the main attraction of this crossover, it seems there are a few secrets hidden away, too.

Rainbow Six Siege's sequel dreams have been dashed by the title's director, as he believes pushing out one would be a mistake.

Rainbow Six Siege's creative director Alexander Karpazis doesn't believe the elderly shooter needs a change of game engine or for that matter, a sequel. He feels that Siege can "last forever", adding that "I'm not going to name names, but you see games go through sequels and just completely drop the ball."

Rainbow Six Siege’s creative director, Alexander Karpazis, has seemingly shut down the idea of the first-person shooter switching away from its game engine, and has claimed that the game can “last forever.”

The creative director on Rainbow Six Siege, Alexander Karpazis, has said that there are no plans to make a sequel to the long-running online shooter.

In spite of being nearly a decade old and having suffered quite a horrid start upon its launch all those years ago, Rainbow Six Siege has, over time, turned into one of the successful and widely played live service games out there.

Alexander Karpazis, the director of Rainbow Six Siege, reveals Ubisoft's plans for the popular online shooter, indicating that the game still has a long life ahead of it. As Rainbow Six Siege prepares to hit its 9th birthday later this year, the shooter has come a long way from its initial launch which was largely defined by technical issues, a lack of content, as well as struggling to find a big audience out of the gate. However, Ubisoft doubled down on the title, and over the months and eventual years, Rainbow Six Siege has continued to feature very healthy player numbers as a brand-new season is set to launch.

Rainbow Six Siege “can last forever”, according to the game’s creative director.

Rainbow Six Siege's creative director seemingly doesn't have any plans for a sequel.

Ubisoft and Netflix have announced that Rainbow Six SMOL, the spin-off of the venerable Tom Clancy sub-series, is now available on Android and iOS.

Ubisoft is testing out more changes toRainbow Six Siege in its Lab Test Server, and not everyone is happy about what’s in store. 

Rainbow Six Siege fans did a collective double take last week when Activision shared the next slate of operators coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. Meet Dokkaebi: a «skilled spy and robotics engineer» available in the Season 1 battle pass. Call of Duty's Dokkaebi immediately drew comparisons to popular Siege operator Dokkaebi: a skilled hacker who disrupts and steals enemy intel.

Eight years, 32 seasons, 70 operators. In all that time, Rainbow Six Siege players can point to only a few moments where the cornerstone of its meta—breaching—saw upheaval. In 2015 the Bandit trick proved Thatcher could be countered, in 2018 Maverick offered an unstoppable (but risky) option to brute force a wall, then Kaid offered protection for hatches. Alternate options for breaching charges and EMPs have slotted nicely into the meta since then, but I'm not sure anyone is ready for Tubarão.

The latest Rainbow Six Siege reveal confirms all the additions coming to Year 8 Season 3 of the Ubisoft FPS game, which include a new operator, Ram, a huge transformation to quick match, and the addition of a new player commendation system. The latest update for Rainbow Six Siege, Heavy Mettle, also gets a confirmed release date and introduces balance changes for some of the best Rainbow Six Siege operators.
