Don’t expect a Rainbow Six Siege sequel anytime soon

Since its launch in 2015, Rainbow Six Siege has seen continous updates, and is well established in the vein of the trend of 'games as a service'. But it seems just because the next consoles may be on the horizon, it's probably best you don't expect a full blown sequel.

That's in part due to information from an interview with the Daily Star with Rainbow Six Siege's brand director Alexandre Remy, who has said that Ubisoft wouldn't want to make a whole new game because 'we don't want to segregate our community between the different platforms. In an ideal world tomorrow, we’d love players from every platform to be able to play together.'

In fact, it seems for the next generation, it looks like it's more likely the current game will get an upgrade instead, and continue to be built upon, if Ubisoft has their way. 'We’ve been asking how can we make the player base of Siege today be able to migrate – if they want to migrate, that is,' Remy continued,  'But also make this cheaper [than buying a new, next-gen copy of the game] as much as possible or through backwards compatibility.'

Remy isn't quite sure how they'll go about doing this as of yet, but confirms that Ubisoft are 'in conversations' with PlayStation and Xbox about making the transfer to next gen, whenever it may come, as smooth as possible.

Rainbow Six Siege is currently available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC and is just in the middle of launching the second season of its fourth year of DLC content.
