The future of Rainbow Six Siege: 100 operators in 10 years, no sequel
That’s according to a panel at yesterday’s 2018 Six Invitational, as Ubisoft revealed new gameplay and details of the upcoming Outbreak zombie mode for Rainbow Six Siege.
The development team said that it hopes the game will live and be supported for ten years, and if so, intends to release a total of 100 operators eventually. As a result of that ten-year vision, there are no plans for a direct sequel for Rainbow Six Siege.
A ten year plan doesn’t seem overly ambitious when you consider the player count is still growing – it currently stands at 27 million total players. That number is up from 25 million players less than three months ago.
During year 3, there will be eight new operators released.
Ubisoft intends to rework and rebalance some of the maps with a focus on Bomb Mode, and every season one map will receive a buff. Hereford is the first map to be reworked, while Clubhouse is the first to be buffed, with work completed by the end of season 2.
Plans to improve Pro League include Pick and Ban, where each side gets to ban one attacker and one defender from the map. There are also plans to rework the observational tool.
Rainbow Six Siege was released in late 2015 and has been continually supported by Ubisoft with events, new operators and different price points.
We argued that the level of entry to new players of Rainbow Six Siege is hard, with a confused price system. Ubisoft has since cut the price of the standard edition after complaints from players.
According to yesterday’s panel, all 20 operators will be unlocked in the standard edition in the future, as will be all weapon attachments.
We’ll bring you more impressions from the Six Invitational shortly.

Craig Well shit, looks like i better get this game sooner rather than later, if they have plans for this game this far ahead, I'm all for it.
I still personally think it won't be in my basket any time soon.

KyloCrux This game isn't gonna last another 10 years. Maybe 1-2 at best. Not much you can do with it. Gonna get boring fast.
its going to last a lot longer than 1-2 years for sure. With DLCs and of course new operators coming, it will last in my opinion another 5 years. But, for sure not 10 years.

It would go on longer if they drop multiple DLCs every once and a while but 10 years is a stretch that this game wont go for. 3-4 years at best if they do drop good DLCs.

SeanTom Do they think this game will actually last 10 years though. The game isnt as popular as it first started nor adding a few operations here and there wont bring back many players. The Outbreak DLC will though. Just hoping we can see some great stuff from them in the next years to come.
Not true the game has made a come back like nothing seen before in gaming its now more popular than it ever was smashing its all-time concurrent users month to month.
Probably due to this new Outbreak DLC dropping. Unless they keep doing these DLC drops, it wont last 10 years is my point. Operation additions probably wont do the job besides bringing back a little bit of their fanbase who want to test them out.

Nice to see these awesome plans for the future, I just didn't think the game is even that popular.
