Since launching nearly five years ago in late 2015, Rainbow Six: Seige has seen continued success. Seige saw its player count rise even much after the release, and fans all over the world have enjoyed the tactical team-based FPS. The game also has a large footprint in the competitive gaming world, and a new announcement points to that reality.
During the Ubisoft Forward event today, it was announced that there will be a World Cup for Rainbow: Six Seige in the Summer of 2021. The reveal was showcased via a two-minute video.
The announcement is sure to excite some of the best Rainbow Six: Siege pro teams, but the specifics of the World Cup will shake things up. The tournament will be consisting of national teams, 45 of them to be exact. The teams will compete in qualifying events leading up to the World Cup finals, where 20 teams will compete.
The World Cup announcement is exciting, but the video itself is a bit confusing. For the first minute and a half, the idea of the video being anything Rainbow Six related is not easy to notice. There are hints of the FPS, but the video is mostly showing off soccer-related footage. When most hear the word World Cup, they likely think of soccer, so it makes sense to draw the parallels between the world’s game and a Rainbow Six: Seige (a popular game worldwide) World Cup, but perhaps it could have been explained in a better way.
Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six: Seige has sold over 10 million copies. The team-oriented nature of the game itself has created a very strong competitive and eSports fanbase. It will be very interesting to see which country comes out on top next Summer.
Rainbow Six Siege is available for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, with plans to launch on next-gen consoles as well.
