Year 11 is a clear refocus: tighter competitive integrity, sharper Ranked, and more “core Siege” each season
Ubisoft used the Six Invitational 2026 in Paris to reveal Rainbow Six Siege’s Year 11 roadmap — and the message is straightforward: a renewed focus on the core 5v5 experience, with competitive updates, stronger protection tech, and seasonal content designed to keep the ecosystem healthy long-term.
If you’re interested in the security side of this (secure boot, anti-cheat drivers, and why games sometimes refuse to launch), two practical reads from our Quick Fix hub:

Season 1 (Operation Silent Hunt) – Launching March 3
Year 11 begins with Operation Silent Hunt on March 3, headlined by a permanent crossover operator: Solid Snake joins Siege as an attacker, bringing a fresh intel-gathering angle and a new secondary weapon, the TACIT .45 (a suppressed semi-automatic pistol built for covert play).
Season 1 also includes a limited-time Metal Gear Solid-themed event mode and cosmetics, plus a short-run 1v1 Arcade playlist designed to strip Siege down to movement, aim, and timing in quick rounds.
- 1v1 Arcade window: April 16–30 (limited time)
- Modernized maps: Oregon, Coastline, and Villa
- Mode focus: Season 1 is also positioned as the last season for Dual Front, as Siege shifts resources back toward core 5v5
What’s coming later in Year 11
Across Seasons 2–4, the roadmap calls out several pillars: Ranked 3.0, a new high-end competitive playlist (Legend Division), deeper progression via Operator Mastery, a new map (Calypso Casino), and a new PC security layer named R6 ShieldGuard Secure Platform (a secure boot–based protection step aimed at competitive integrity).
- Season 2: Dokkaebi remaster + new ranked-ready map “Calypso Casino”
- Season 3: New Defender (counter-shield), Operator Mastery progression, 3v3 limited-time arcade mode, and the new “Legend Division” competitive playlist
- Season 4: Social Hub, plus a Hostage rework designed to better fit Siege’s tactical and competitive standards
Rainbow Six Mobile launches globally February 23
Ubisoft also confirmed that Rainbow Six Mobile arrives globally on February 23 for iOS and Android, launching with 20+ operators and classic Siege maps including Bank, Border, Clubhouse, Oregon, and Villa. Modes include Bomb, Team Deathmatch, Ranked, Quick Play, and private matches.
