Celebrating a Decade of Rainbow Six Siege
Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is celebrating a milestone achievement—reaching over 100 million players in its ten-year run. Creative director Alex Karpazis recently reflected on the journey of this iconic multiplayer shooter, which has evolved from a shaky start to become a mainstay in the gaming industry. The anniversary was marked with a grand celebration at Ubisoft Montreal, where developers, their families, and fans gathered to honor this incredible decade.
A Look Inside Ubisoft Montreal
During the event, attendees were given a unique tour of the Ubisoft Montreal studio, housed in a repurposed textile factory. The tour offered a glimpse into the creative spaces and technology fueling the creation of games like Rainbow Six Siege. Although the tour was fascinating, it felt somewhat disconnected from the game itself. Despite this, the studio’s commitment to innovation and community engagement was evident throughout the event.
Insights from the Game’s Creators
In exclusive interviews, Karpazis and game director Joshua Mills shared insights on the game’s evolution and future. They emphasized their dedication to serving the Rainbow Six Siege community, ensuring the game remains fresh and engaging. The pair also acknowledged past mistakes, like the infamous “Pizza Mozzie” customization, while underscoring their commitment to learning and growth. With ongoing updates and new content on the horizon, Rainbow Six Siege is poised to remain a significant player in the gaming world for years to come.
