Fuzing the hostage to continue into the new generation
During yesterday’s Ubisoft Forward presentation, it was revealed that twitchy multiplayer shooterRainbow Six Siegewill be offering free next-gen upgrades to its current playerbase.
Anyone currently stalking the corridors ofSiegeon PS4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to PS5 or Xbox Series X gratis. The Rainbow Six teamhas previously notedthat it is currently working on transitioning player accounts from generation to generation, so players can take all of their content and hard-earned Renown with them into the next gen. The next-gen editions ofRainbow Six Siegewill feature 4K visuals and will run at a juicy 120FPS.
In addition, TheRainbow Sixteam also announced a brand new global tournament, theRainbow Six Siege World Cup, which will see the best players from 14 nations battle it out for their country. A frankly bemusing trailer showed huge gangs of gorgeous, hip, twenty-somethings gathering to celebrate their nation’sSiegeesports team. I mean,Siegeis undeniably a popular title, and I do love the game, but the models featured in this trailer were far and away from the people I see attending the Six Invitational annually.
TheRainbow Six Siege World Cupis optimistically scheduled for Summer 2021.Rainbow Six Siegeis available now on PS4, PC, and Xbox One. It is tentatively aiming for a day one launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
