Rainbow Six Siege director says making a sequel after 9 years would be a mistake: 'I'm not going to name names, but you see games go through sequels and just completely drop the ball' - eviltoast

    Not to worry, Siege doesn’t need to drop the ball with a sequel because it already dropped the ball with its first release.

        When it first launched, the biggest departure from Rainbow Six was a guy who could revive people by throwing a syringe at them.

          Oh the Dev team is fully aware of that, one look at the story cinematics (with the character of Deimos) the team has released starting a year ago will make that very clear.

          Not to mention with the absolute BANGER that was the Six Invitational tournament which has just ended (Seriously, watch the grand final highlights whenever they come out), the popularity of the R6 franchise may just skyrocket and outgrow its legacy.

            I know they’re aware that they made a game that’s nothing like old Rainbow Six, and that’s the part that sucks. If they want it to outgrow its legacy, they ought to call it something else and make an actual Rainbow Six game again.
