R6's BIGGEST UPDATE EVER

Ranked isn't just the most played playlist. It's the primary place players experience siege at its most tactical and competitive level And we know that you've been asking for a simpler and better ranked experience So we're building ranked 3.0 Oh my god!

Yes! Yes! Your skill is your rank. That's all I've been saying to do for the last four years! Since 2020! your skill is your rank that's all I've been saying to do for the last four years since 2022 if you're in silver you play silvers if you're in gold you play

gold period period I'm tired of looking at the leaderboard it's just a rainbow of ranks oh my god thank god massive W bro listen to the crowd listen to the crowd bro do you see how easy it is to keep a game alive if you literally ignore all other factors besides listening to your community listen to the crowd.

Do you hear that? Like, I mean, bro, no hidden MMR, no confusing systems, just pure.

Thank God.

Oh my.

I like, okay. They literally could not do another update and I'll be satisfied. They literally don't have to update it. The else I'd be satisfied. I'm not even kidding. I'm not even kidding her skill and progression

listen to the crowd in the new rank 3.0 oh my god that's ayana I'm pretty sure I just saw Ayana elite

and the new

down boy rank 3.0 and Tokimi your skill is your rank and what you see is exactly the rank you play at and matchmaking will adjust accordingly placement matches are coming back

My god, this is actually the best update ever and we're what two minutes in Bro, Jeff, do you hear this guy?

Do you hear him? Bro placement matches used to be like, they used to be the most intense games ever. And for the best of the best, champion divisions are being introduced. Champion 5, champion 4, and so on. This is rank 3.0. Accurate, competitive, and rewarding for every player. And for the players who want to aim for the pinnacle of Siege competition, later this

year we're introducing a new solo queue playlist, the Legend Division.

Oh my god. Oh my god.

It's like everything I ever wanted.

It's like everything I ever wanted. It's like everything I ever wanted to.

It's like everything I ever wanted. player. You'll have some time to achieve this as legend division opens midseason every season once it goes live. It's a transparent competitive MMR leaderboard that shows your exact regional standing. We're also adding a unique reward for the top 100 players in the playlist, an

exclusive charm featuring your final ranking. for in the legend division yes cheers cheers cheers there's gonna be tears ban them all now legend division comes with an important guys this is everything that i said for them to do for the past two years now since 2024 i've been saying champions need something to work for rather than just hitting champion every single season The rank system is great for every other rank because they have something to work for if you're a champ you have nothing to work For with legend divisions and global rankings guys. This is literally like I had conversations with developers saying this

Literally like literally saying this like mapping this out I said you need to have global rankings in a rank higher than champion for something we're able to push for because everybody gets champion and they lose all the motivation to play the game. This is literally what I said to do for two years.

Requirement on PC, R6 shield guard secure platform. It's another layer of protection that makes it harder for cheats to run. At the end of the day, it's about making sure the competition is fair, your skill is represented accurately, and the leaderboard is something that you can trust.

This is amazing. This is literally amazing. This is amazing. They've said two things and it's all perfect. Rank 3.0 and a new rank above champion called legend. Like thank god.

On January 30th, we hosted a live stream with a detailed walkthrough of our plans for player protection and anti-cheat for the year ahead. The recording and recap are available on rainbow6.com. Our moderator will put the link in

the chat right now. We have more exciting changes coming to our playlist.

You see what happens when you listen to the community bro? Like, you move money to the side and you listen to the community. This is what I, like bro, do you hear the crowd dude?

In year 11, and you might have an idea of what's coming. This, today, we crowned Salim Shady the winner of the 1v1 Xbox Tournament. We want to thank everybody who participated. The popularity of 1v1s are growing by leaps and bounds. Because of this, we're happy to announce that a new arcade mode will feature 1v1s in year 11. Not only that, but I also said to do this. Oh my god. Oh my god. We'll be launching

a 3v3 arcade mode later this year as well

Put buttermilk rants on my titties I mean brother, this is perfect like this is perfect

We really want to hear from you when the arcade modes go live if this is as big as we think it is

We'll support it based on the reception and see if the demand-

Okay, so basically what he's saying is if a lot of people play the 1v1 mode and the 3v3 mode, they might end up releasing ranked for it, is what he's saying. That's what, like, they might end up

having their own ranked leaderboards, but they have to see if people play it

Which I think people are ranked experiences there, too Add in a 1v1 mode add in a 2v2 mode add in the 3v3 mode

Give people other ways of playing the games if it's just them and their friend and they want to have a good time and not have to get team killed by their random teammates Have the random teammates play terrible have the random teammates come in the game chat and drop five slurs in the first ten seconds Allow people to play how do they want to play bro? The more freedom you give to players the more players you're gonna have period end of story Stop trying to the biggest problem with this game is they tried to pigeonhole everything and make everything as competitive as possible.

Give players freedom to do whatever they want and you will in turn have more players.

We have to add a little bit right now.

We have a little problem with the prompter here. It's gonna fill a little bit right now. We have a little problem with the prompt right here. We're just gonna fill a little bit of time.

Who loves rank 3.0?

Yeah.

I just wanna hear it.

Thank God.

Thank God.

Is that a zombie Mijo I don't know a lot more coming. Try to be like bro Guys, this is fantabulous, dude Literally fantabulous swear. Yeah I skipped

Yeah, we're... Skipping, skipping.

Skipping.

Skipping. Skipping.

Skipping. gadgets to make them more fair and more fun. The topic is balancing, which is what we call it when we tweak our operators and gadgets to make them more fair and more fun. Anybody here enjoying Thorne's new razor bloom timer? Yes, yeah bro. Thorne used to be trash. That change and many others are the direct results of what we announced at the Munich Major. We evolved our philosophy, along with your feedback, to ensure balancing decisions continue to go beyond just the data and bring more excitement to every update. It's been great to see the reception and we're happy to confirm we will continue to move in this direction going forward.

Coming with this philosophy is our new cadence of content. Each season will be split into four updates. An update each season, four updates every three weeks. So you can expect four balancing changes and two ranked map rotations every season. In those four balancing updates, two will be major, like the one we shipped with Thorn, and two will be refined.

Each season will also target a specific part of the meta. In Operation Tenfold Pursuit, it was our hard breachers. I gotta get a shirt. And in Season 1 this year, entry and roaming will be the focus. We'll talk more about that later, when we get into Season 1. The goal is to make balancing changes that shake up the meta, provide new ways to play, keep the competitive spirit alive, and deploy quality of life improvements.

Still related to the new content cadence, we're also announcing midway through Year 11 we'll be introducing Target Map Updates. Targeted Map Updates are ways to freshen strategy, improve engagements in small but meaningful ways for maps. And we brought a tasty first look. The first map update will be Villa.

It's a work in progress, but the intention is to add new wall breaches, new hatches to drop. Oh, you can breach into the basement now. And even moving a bomb site to basement what bro they used to not be bro they used to only be able to play that in secure area to play the basement but all the bomb sites have been upstairs that is awesome dude bro they're actually locking in this is incredible these map updates will be present every season there isn't a new map being released.

Our new balancing vision, new seasonal cadence, and targeted map updates means more siege more often. Okay, but are we getting a new map dude? Like tell it to me straight up. It's been since 2023.

And speaking of more siege, it's time to share and the standout features the first time this invit actually be starting with the year and working back the season. You'll be pla

days. So let's begin with season four. Season four.

Year 11, season four. So a year from now. Is all about you, your squad, and the return of an old friend. We'll get to them in a minute. But first, we'd like to show an update that deals with the heart of Siege, team play. Whether it's after work, school, or in my case, putting a little one to bed, there's nothing quite like sitting down and meeting your friends in the lobby, ready to climb ranks.

That's why we're excited to announce the experience, enhance our experience by introducing the Social Hub, your new spot in Siege to squad up.

Wait, you can spot up in the, or squad up in the game now?

The Social Hub, you can see all your friends in one place, right inside the game and across any platform.

Oh my god. That is a thousand times better than Ubisoft Connect. You can sue new players or send or accept squad invites directly in game.

Additionally, you can see your recently met players from the matches you've completed. to. That's another just great update. Siege. Even more exciting developments are already underway and we look forward to sharing additional details.

That's another just great update. Like, I don't know if they like hired somebody who came in. Brother, everything they're doing is like practical and it's things people actually care about.

In season four, we'll also be running a new testing grounds. As a reminder, Testing Grounds is a playlist where we trial features that may eventually make it into the live game. Your feedback is essential here. It helps us monitor the impact, analyze what works, and identify-

Thank you so much for your participation- Yeah, I don't care about Testing Grounds.

...in the recent Armor & Speed Testing Ground, especially those of you who pushed the limits with juggernaut Montaigne. We'll be sharing the next steps for our burn speed in the future as there are some changes we want to make based on your feedback. But there are more changes we want to test. Brace yourselves.

Look out, because half reinforcements are coming to the testing grounds. A new strategic option to change your defensive setups.

This is big, and we need your opinion before deploying it to the game. I'm gonna put a keyboard up my ass. I mean, this is the greatest day of my life. Of my 24 years on this planet, I have never seen seeds with a better update than this. Oh my god.

So test it, send that feedback when it drops in season 4.

Throughout year 11, as we mentioned before, our focus is on the 5v5 ranked mode.

And with that in mind, we'd like to bring something back. Or rather, someone. Let's just say he's not very chatty.

We are reworking Hostage and working closely with community leaders to explore how to bring it back into ranked play.

That's what I said to do! That's what I said to do! That's what I said to do! Oh my god.

Bro, all y'all gotta do, listen. Make it to where people can play bomb, secure area, or hostage and ranked. They can queue all three at once, one at a time. They can just play bomb if they want, just play hostage, just play secure area. Brother, make ranked more fun. one at a time. They can just play bomb if they want, just play hostage, just play superior. Brother, make ranked more fun.

Pros, pro league is pro league, bro, whatever. Let them have their fun. Bro, give players more freedom and you will have more players, simple.

We'll share more details later this year.

Bro, that's what I said to do, literally. If y'all remember, I said to do that, like, three times. Of course, that's far from everything we have in store. Season 4 will also see the return of a fan-favorite event. The logo might ring a bell, and we're pretty sure you'll be happy about it.

Grand larceny.

This mode makes me feel like Arthur Morgan.

You'll also see the addition of a new attacker secondary gadget. It's still early to show it in action, but we wanted to give you a first look at the concept. New gadget? This secondary gadget will be shared across multiple operators and will add even more diversity to loadouts.

Finally, season four will see another operator.

Secondary drone, interesting.

A remaster and another cross operator weapon. Now let's move into season three. Very drone, interesting. Defeating dedicated challenges and reaching clear milestones. Each mastery stage is earned through your performance, your time, and your dedication with that operator.

And as you progress, you'll unlock unique ways to show off your expertise. This is what I'm talking about.

Like this is what I'm saying.

With that specific operator. It's not just something you own, but something you earned. So whether you main one operator for hundreds of hours, or you diversify your approach, Operator Mastery gives your time in Siege more meaning.

Season three will also welcome a brand new defender to the Siege roster of operators.

All right, who?

New defender?

Whoa, lock in, lock in. Who wants to see another shield operator

Okay, okay, okay Now wait, is this guy serious was expected who wants to see a counter to shield operator It's too early to reveal them fully but we asked our from Siege Tales to give you a sneak peek of their gadget. No way! No fucking way! No fucking way! No fucking way!

No fucking way! no fucking way This is the best day of my life this is like Code name firework Chat an operator that counters shields dude?

Yes!

I can hear you're excited for this new shield countering operator coming in season 3.

And this season will also-

Chat like, I mean let's get some W's here dude. This is insane dude!

It's insane!

Mark the full rollout of our new seasonal cadence with legend division targeted map updates And I even heard there's a new drone racing event on the way

Drone racing

All right, it's time for season two And we'll be crowning a new world champion right here in just a few hours To celebrate the teams that compete the the eSports tab is getting an upgrade. Introducing the Tier 1 Teams page, where you can check out the stats of your favorite players, like Shaiiko's KDE, or how your favorite team performed on a specific map.

Now, speaking of maps, it's about time we had a brand new map to siege.

Everybody shut the fuck up.

We can't wait for you to play it in season 2.

Everybody shut the fuck up. Everybody shut the fuck up.

A new map.

And to make the wait a little easier, we made a teaser for you.

And you might recognize it if you ever played Rainbow Six Vegas.

Oh my god. Oh my god.

It's a casino!

It's a casino! It's a casino!

It's a casino! It's a casino! It's a casino! This is what I said would be my dream map a year ago! Aquarium CCTV Pool deck? Bro, oh my oh my god. Oh my god

Pause it there helipad pool deck

Bro it looks really nice. This looks beautiful

Calypso casino I

This is just perfect I have no other words. Do y'all remember one year ago when I was talking to Richie about if I were to design a map, I would look back at what made them popular years ago on Rainbow Six Vegas and make a casino map. The fact that it's not a casino map already is insane. Bro, and they did it. I'm sure they were already working on it, but oh my god.

Jackpot! Calypso Casino is arriving in Siege. This new map is a tribute to the amazing Vegas games from Rainbow's past. You'll find slot machines, blackjack tables, and plenty of easter eggs. And best of all, it's coming in ranked day one. Now, what about season two's operator remaster? This operator has been through hell with everything that Kari has done, but we remastered of it broker She's become sharper more dangerous and far more aggressive gone are the days of her mass spam calls

Don't get me is this season's remastered operator She will bring the same kind of impactful change that we saw with Thatcher We're evolving her ability into something more situational that will reduce the frustration she has caused over the years, but still keep the essence of her gadget. Doki B can no longer target all defenders at once. She's adopted a more personal and targeted approach.

Yo, people are booing. I mean, I get it. It's just, D Doga be so strong though it's so she's

also getting a brand new primary weapon and you'll get a sneak peek of it on the full road map breakdown at the end of the reveal we also want to mention that this time the weapon won't be locked behind the battle pass and will be available to mobile operators when it's released for free. No more early access on weapons.

And they're not money-grubbing. I mean, wow. This is a beautiful day for Siege, bro. The world.

Season 2 will also bring two more key features. Rank 3.0, which Chris spoke about earlier,

and native mouse and keyboard support for console players, giving them a legitimate path toies with PC players. Bro, you may as well just bend over and give them the lubricant while you're at it. I mean bro, PC players are gonna have more frames and less input delay. Have fun zimming now, bro. Anyone trying to bypass mouse trap will be banned. Nice guys. Now, is this like, is this like a dream or something? Like, this

is the best update ever. There is one season we have yet to cover. There's a reason why we left season one until the end. It's a season unlike any other.

Let's set the tone.

So this is in two weeks. This is the season that's coming out in two weeks.

Rainbow Operators are on another level. They train hard, and their recruitment into Rainbow proves their talent and skill are exceptional. But Rainbow is no more. And this new Operator is already a legend.

One who needs no introduction New operator new operator new operator

Bravo six

Our window is closing

Sam Fisher. New operator, new operator.

What's your ETA? I'm here.

Look at that gun. Look at that gun. That's a new gun. In position. Oh my god, it's Jason Bourne! Wait, who is this unknown slayer? I know a mogger when I see one. Look at the bone structure.

Wow.

Holy mog.

Oh my, do you see that mog? Do y'all see that? Oh my god Sam Fisher holy aura All right, I said it bro, this is their best update ever I I don't even like I'm so happy as a human being right now, dude. I'm on cloud nine

waiting on

Never hurts to take things slow Cloud 9. Soldiers like us

never get the chance

There's always one. So it looks like he has an ability where like he has a pad where you can see where people are close

to him

Solid snake is coming

Permanent just set him up. I just set him up to rainbow six siege

A true legend. He's joining Zero in the Iconic Operator class. Snake joins us in Season 1 with a standalone story in which Zero asks him to help with a personal mission. We'd like to take a moment and thank our friends with us, a legend in his own right, and the official English voice actor for Snake and Siege.

Everything in this season is connected to Solid Snake and the Metal Gear Solid franchise, starting right from the season's name, Operation Silent Hunt. It all kicks off on March 3rd.

March 3rd!

So let's focus on the man himself. You've been waiting to see what he brings to the table. Let's get into it.

Oh, they're gonna show what he does, they're gonna show what he does. Snake is an iconic infiltration specialist, famous for his ability to adapt to whatever situation comes his way. And of course he's bringing that versatility to siege with one of the most unique combination of abilities you've ever seen. That's right. Abilities plural. Over the years Snake has used countless gadgets and tools to get the job done. But for an infiltration specialist, nothing is more valuable than intel.

Snake brings that in spades with the Soliton Radar Mark III.

Soliton Radar Mark III, okay.

This version of Snake's famous radar comes in a handheld format. Pressing the ability button pulls it up and provides Snake with a view of his immediate surroundings. But that's not all. The ring on his interface represents his detection radius and will warn him about nearby threats. Green means all clear, yellow means an active CCTV camera, and red means an enemy operator is nearby. The radar works on a battery system and recharges when not in use.

That looks fucking broken. While he has the radar equipped, he can retrieve more intel by activating its precision mode. This pinpoints nearby enemy threats and indicates what direction they're looking.

Be warned though, enemies detected will know that they're being watched.

Okay.

That's good.

That's good

that's good snake soliton mark 3 is a great tool for recon taking map control extremely fast and laying the groundwork for himself and his allies his primary gadget is a force to be reckoned with but of course so is

wow he has the twitch f2 oh no those of you who are fans of the atrocious aim Whoever that dev is needs to lock it on T hunt. Good God and yes franchise might recognize he's bringing some Did I just see what I think that I just saw?

Horse so is his loadout those of you who are fans of the MGS franchise.

That's a vertical grip on the F2. I'm not crazy, right chat? That is a vertical grip on the F2. Y'all see that? Bro, to explain it simpler, the F2 is going to have way less recoil now on Snake.

You guys might recognize he's bringing some familiar pieces of hardware. His primary weapons of choice are the F2 and the PMR-90A2.

Whoa, whoa, that's a new gun. That is a new gun.

Now no sneaking mission is complete without a good handgun. And for his time with Rainbow, Snake is bringing in the new Tacit 45.

It's suppressed? That's so sexy. This pistol comes pre-kitted with an embedded reflex sight and suppressor.

It's quiet, packs a punch, making it an ideal weapon for covert operations. Now you might be wondering, what will he be bringing in terms of secondary gadgets however coming fully equipped has never really been his style instead snake will be taking the on-site procurement approach at the start of the round he can pick up gadgets he only brings one use of any attacker grenade type gadget or a single breach charge he does not start with a full inventory.

Instead, he scavenges utility during the match. Dead operators drop pouches that Snake can collect to gain an additional secondary gadget. He can select which secondary he will look for while scavenging and which gadget to use with the switch ability mode input. This gives you a level of flexibility you normally just don't have in Siege. You can read the round, adjust on the fly

and pull the right tool at the right moment. That resourcefulness is the very essence of this iconic operator.

Snake is a three speed, one health operator. Three speed as well? Oh, okay. This guy's gonna be insane. But I'm glad though. Like I hate when they release horrible operators.

Because no one uses them. I want them to release, bro, make a broken operator, and then if you have to nerf him, nerf him, whatever. But don't make an operator that's so bad that no one's gonna use. It's so simple, but like, some of the opposite opposite release are horrible. Which means he's more than capable of sneaking around quickly.

Snake is fast decisive and adaptable.

You could brother that is a vertical grip on the F2 which like I already know people are going to pick snake just because of that dude, the F2 is one of the most loved guns in the history of this game and it's never had a vertical grip. Now that it has a vertical grip, the recoil is gonna be way easier on it,

and it's still gonna have one of the fastest fire rates in the game. I'd say he's pretty good. He's the man you send in when you want to clear the objective and get the job done. Though he usually operates alone,

he's more than capable of bringing his talents to a team with devastating effect. I mean this is gonna be such a fun character to use my god He can pick up gadgets from around the map from any of the nine dead operators He has a unique secondary that only he has that's a big suppressed pistol that looks sexy He has an f2 with the vertical grip. He has an ability where he can see enemies through walls close by him. Like this is just going to be sick.

And he mogs.

One last thing, if you look closely, you can see something different about Snake's loadout. The grips have all been reintroduced for the F2. And that sets up a great segue into our first major balancing update in Season 1, because yes, there will be another one mid-season. As mentioned before, this season's meta will focus on entry and roaming, aligning closely with Snake's gadget.

And who better than Skopos to take on the roaming role? Skopos and her V10 Pantheon shells are getting some upgrades. The shells will move faster and hit harder. The shells will now be considered three speed one health operators and Scopos can swap her shells faster. In addition, the swap cooldown time has also been reduced from three seconds to half a second. Oh and one more thing, the shells they had the hydraulics tuned in their arms so they can now destroy soft destructible surfaces. What!

What!

Just like Aruni.

Oh my god, oh my god.

They gave Skopos Aruni's ability and allowed her to teleport faster.

The observation blocker secondary gadget will now deploy faster from 2.5 seconds down to one second letting defenders place them quickly so they can have more time to focus on the rest of the setup or maybe go roaming. We'll also be making changes to operators like Ella, Alibi, Amaru, Ying, and Flores. You can check out the patch notes for the full list of updates. To finish, do we have the patch notes. Do we have them? Targeted update to shields. Defenders will have a bit more breathing room starting in year 11 season 1 because shield users will no longer be able to dash through full health barricades.

This is the biggest deal in competitive R6 history right now what he just said rewind

in year 11 season 1 because shield users will no longer be able to dash

through full health barricades thank God I don't know who okayed the idea of having a shield fly through a window and then punch somebody in the face but thank God I said to get rid of that two years ago

this will slow down assaults and give defenders more time to react to the situation thank god

season one is also bringing a brand new in-game event inspired by metal gear solid redacted as a

new god bad timing on that we could have probably chose a different word good God who limited time infiltration event we're snake I mean Chad really bad timing really bad timing on that I feel bad because they probably had this planned out for like a month or so or like two months zero put together a team of elite operators to recover stolen data. Really bad timing. It's time for tactical espionage action. Oh, what is this? What is this? Who is that? Who the fuck is she?

Is that Ash?

This is snake We've infiltrated the facility and are making our way to the access terminal to duplicate the data. I love his voice. I love his voice Bad news

It looks like they were expecting us what the fuck fuck is this? Who the fuck? Who the fuck is this?

I don't think we'll be getting out of this one without-

Who is that?

Redacted is a fresh 4v4 game mode and yes, it will introduce a collection of exclusive skins like Jackal as Gray Fox or Ash as Meryl. And the event isn't the only place where you'll find exclusive MGS skins. Some classic characters have infiltrated the battle pass as well. And in this very special battle pass you will find two packs that contain something very cool who wants to see what's inside

me me me let's do a pack opening together yeah yeah yeah um sorry did that just say black eyes chat they're releasing black eyes packs i'm actually gonna come in my pants no like i am legitimately going to cum in my pants. No, like, I am legitimately going to cum in my pants. This is, this actually feels like if I had freedom of the game for a year, this is like everything I would do. I'm not, like, this, this is insane. This, I'm gonna cum in my pants. dance. Green black ice. Colored black ice are coming to see. What? Different colors

will be. Oh my god. Available in those packs and personally my favorite is the pink one. There's a pink black ice say you swear to God. I mean this is guys

Now we have some announcements about dual front your 11 season 1 will be dual friends last season before being removed Again this is what I said to do for two years! Or for a new assignment for dual front that should speak to all the MGS fans Out there just bought a few references to the game and self is going to be key

And while you're playing you'll have the opportunity to earn all the rewards me how me how we don't care about do from okay ladies and gentlemen That is the individual greatest roadmap I've ever seen. After today and watching that 30 minute update, this is the most hopeful I've ever been of this game.

Ever.

Do we, like, bro, did anybody make like a bulletin board of all the things they did guys Keep watching. Okay Ever released through dual front including a but there's only two seconds left. Maybe I didn't Oh, no, no, never mind, sorry, sorry set for this season This is your oh, there's five minutes left

I'm tweaking final opportunity for those of you who may have missed the chance to obtain these rewards in the past

all dual from rewards earned before year 11 season 1 or during I'm tweaking. Final opportunity for those of you who may have missed the chance to obtain these rewards in the past. All Duel Front rewards earned before Year 11 Season 1 or during are yours to keep even after the mode is removed.

And though Duel Front will be removed, the work done by the team for the mode will not be lost. And in fact, we as players have already and will continue to benefit from their efforts. For a few examples, the Assault on Hereford and wildcard events, the Clearhouse playlist, offers like Aurora and even Solid Snake were only possible with key technology that was developed for and through Dualfront. This experimental take on Siege has been the work of what we call internally the LGM cell. So allow me to thank them for their incredible effort in breaking

boundaries, challenging designs, and pouring their creativity into it. So jump in and try out the new assignment, have fun, and earn those

rewards. Focusing on the core experience is the mission statement for us this I'm Yo, Season 2, just looking at this right here, is going to be the most played season of Siege in fucking years. Rank 3.0, new map, also there will be a new operator in the game, Snake, by that time. New weapon, mouse and keyboard support on console PC matchmaking

Three modernized maps. I mean that is going to be the most played season of siege in years. I like that is incredible

Bro, people have been asking for rank 3.0 since 2022. I mean rank 2.0 is a disaster a brand new map Rank 3.0 and legend division more and bigger balancing updates, and a new content ca-

wait and legend division season 3, I kind of like how they're spreading it out and not doing it all in one season. bro so season 3 we have legend division, season 2 rank 3.0, season 1 new operator-

we're also doubling down on the systems that protect the integrity of your matches, as anti-cheat remains one of our top priorities. This roadmap gives a clear view of what's coming, but there's also some flexibility built in with smaller features and quality of life improvements, and some surprises coming as the year unfolds. Year 11 is about strengthening the 5v5 Core Siege experience.

We're committed to delivering on this and making sure Siege stays true to what you love.

That's right, year 11 is just around the corner, and as you know, we love keeping a surprise for the end. We're happy to announce, starting in year 12, we'll be going back to four new operators per year.

Yes!

Yes! This is what we wanted! This is what we needed!

That's one new operator each season. This is something you've been asking for and we've got some great ideas

cooking so we're very excited to make that happen. Brother all you have to do to keep a game good is add all they got to do to make it to year 20 is every season a new operator and then every year two new maps. That's all you got to do. Your player base will grow. Like, that's all, like, this dual front, all this craziness with all these modes. People are here because there's millions of people who genuinely believe this is the best FPS experience you can get. It's 5v5 Call of Duty Search and Destroy on steroids. The gunfights are amazing, the operator synergies are amazing. That's when you play the game. People play your game for a reason. Don't try to go and do all these different

crazy things. Focus on, okay, people love our operators, people love our maps. Let's make new maps and new operators. Period. It's all you gotta do. I'd like to thank everyone for watching the year 11 reveal. We could not have the greatest reveal. Year 10 was a fucking disaster. Year this was this was amazing.

please join me in thanking the

new creative director of siege, Joshua Mills. This is a surreal moment for me. To come from the crowd as a player and a fan to be standing here now with all of you and with both of you. I aim to do what I've always done since joining Siege, which is to serve this game, our team, and the community to the best of my ability. Alex, thank you for everything you've done, man.

He might cry, chat. This guy's pretty awesome, I'm not gonna lie.

You will forever be part of the legacy of Siege, and it's been an honor to stand alongside you. To everyone here and those watching online, we'd like to thank you for tuning in and we'll see you in game when Operation Silent Hunt launches on March 3rd. Let's get to that grand final.

Oh shit, finals is going right now. We should probably watch that.

Chat, dude.

I just want to give a closing statement because it was a lot of stuff to unpack. But, um... Look, dude, it's really fucking simple, bro. I've said this for years. I'm gonna say this bro. That was Everything that I and the community have been asking for for probably years now Like people have been completely people been completely against rank 2.0

Since it came out and then they made it even worse with the hidden MMR bullshit now What your rank is is what you play against. If you're silver, you play silvers. It doesn't matter if you were diamond 9 months ago, if you're silver, you play silvers. Also, this is a big reason why placement matches are so important and why rank 2.0 is so shit. For example, me, right?

I'm never even gonna play against silvers or golds cause I'm probably gonna get placed in like placked, right? On the first day of the season, I'll get placed in black. If I go 10 and O, which I probably will just get like a fucking God stack and we'll sweat our balls off. But like, that's the beauty of it.

The problem rises with, I'm not even gonna rant about rank 2 but oh it's done they finally listened also 1v1 mode I've been asking for that forever 3v3 mode I've been asking for that forever hostage coming back to rank I've been asking for that forever new operators been asking for that forever new map and asking for that forever new rank above champion legend division been asking for that forever like this is beautiful this is beautiful.

This is literally like an update that I would do. Like, if I was them, this is what I would do. Also, cherry on top, Black Ice Pact. I mean, like, this is beautiful, bro. This is beautiful. I mean, it's amazing.

It's literally amazing. Guys, on Everything I Love, I've watched them do these reveals for years. This is the best reveal they've ever done by far. By fucking far. By fucking far.

Like, it's not even close.
