Rainbow Six Siege Will Get Massive Map Redisignes

  • 18

Rainbow Six Siege got its first complete map rework with Operation Grim Sky, an update that will completely redesign the Hereford Base map from the ground up. The modern facility is being redone into a World War 2-style environment featuring much wider floors, many more firing angles, a new balcony, and an entirely new staircase access point. It’s a drastic change to make to one of the oldest maps in Rainbow Six Siege, and Ubisoft has now confirmed that this won’t be the only time it happens.

This week, a Ubisoft producer was able to confirm that these dramatic map changes are a core part of Ubisoft’s action plan with Rainbow Six Siege going forward: Map reworks are part of our strategy now when we’re look at maps, making sure all of the previous one are at a competitive level and balance.

Going in and changing fan-favorite maps is a good move for Ubisoft. Still, with the company pushing its highly successful eSports focus for Siege, these kind of balances are necessary as the game itself evolves and outgrows map design that no longer fits in with the new roster options and gameplay styles.
