This popular shooter does not need a successor

For almost 6 years now, the tactical shooter Rainbow Six's victories are already holding and there is no end in sight. Other games have long been a successor at this time. But the boss sees no reason - as little as Meinmommo author Benedict Grothaus.

What is that for a shooter? Rainbow Six Siege is one of the best shooters ever, also 2021. The shooter has been published for the first time in December 2015 for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

You play agents of the Rainbow special unit, from which members of various police services and military units in the world are coming. The goal is the terrorist control. Each agent (Operator) has a special ability that leaves him out of the crowd.

Rainbow Six is ​​known for its tactical gameplay. Agreements in the team are enormous important, a single ball is often fatal and education and information about the opponent usually lead to victory.

** Why does not the game do not have a successor? I choose Zocke Rainbow Six victories for years, not regular, but always again. And that's exactly what it's why it needs no successor: Even after a break I can return and easily get back.

In the meantime, something may have changed, but these are more of the fact that no victories 2 is needed. Because Rainbow Six is ​​just getting better. The Creative Director, Leroy Athanassoff, also looks like that.

We want to protect your investment and increase your value

That says the boss on the subject: in an AMA on Reddit in July 2021 Leroy Athanassoff talked about the future of Rainbow Six and the possibility of a successor. He says:

Victories 2 would mean a new game, a new environment, possibly a new inventory and a new DEV team. We do not think that's what the community needs. Your investment in the game is important to us and we do not want to start a new [game].

Instead, we want to protect your investment and increase your value by making your current home (ie victories) better. It's like the renovation of your old homes to make it contemporary, pretty and appealing.

Why would victories 2 were bad? Victories 2 would mean a new game as Athanassoff explains. This means: everything that players have achieved so far would disappear and they would have to start again.

Since many fans - as well as I - over the years has gained their favorite skins and got used to their operator, that would be more of a step back. I am even sure that victories would like to do players.

A possible solution would be the way OverVATCH 2, by simply expanding Overwatch. However, Rainbow Six did not even need such a thing, it's just so always bigger.

But is not that boring at some point? Rainbow Six is ​​troubling to reinvent yourself again and again. The meta is constantly changing, there are REworks on the oldest operator or new toys for players.

New updates keep the game fresh

What's in the updates? Rainbow Six Siege regularly gets new Seasons with content - regular 4 pieces per year. Everyone earlier, each of these Seasons brought two new operator, meanwhile it is only one. However, the squad also includes over 50 playable characters.

In addition to the operators, there are always new maps or revisions on existing content. Even new weapons or tools come into play, like a special explosive charge for reinforced walls.

The latest Season starts on September 6th. She wears the name Crystal Guard and already thrilled the experts. The new operator of the Season is OSA, the first transsexual operator of the game with interesting gadget.

Which content is there still? In addition to the regular updates, there are always Battle Passes, Events and Cross Promos with other games or media. The events even bring limited, special game modes that often come very well with the community.

What about new technology? Even the jump on the Next gene has made Rainbow Six Victory. Siege came 2020 as a free upgrade to PS5 and Xbox Series X with 120 fps owners of the game did not even have to pay anything. The developers are also constantly working to eradicate errors.

Hundreds of thousands of colors and celebrate Rainbow Six

So many people play victories: Rainbow SIX appears in the top titles on Steam again and again in the top 10, usually when a new season is pending. The all-time high is even at 201,053 players at the same time (via steamdb.info). The number is just above the successful beta start of New World and just a little under no man's sky. On average, in August 2021, 49,906 players (Via Steamcharts.com).

This is just the numbers for the PC and only on Steam. Rainbow Six Siege is playable about the own launcher of Ubisoft as well as on consoles, which is likely to raise the actual number of players again.

How does victories arrive? The rating on Steam has been very positive on Steam with 88% positive ratings with more than 808,000 reviews (Via Steam) since release. Although there is always criticism, but a clear drop has never really noticed.

What about the E-Sports? Even in the professional area, victories are still one of the larger titles worldwide. The largest tournament is the SIX Invitationsal, which provided 2021 a prize pool of $ 3 million.

Rainbow Six is ​​even one of the E-Sports titles with the highest prize money ever (via Esportsearnings.com). The Invitationsal attracted over 300,000 spectators this year, an average of 156,000 (via Escharts.com).

To overview

Nobody needs victory 2 - just go on as before!

Victories 2 is pretty sure of the table and that's a good thing, because victories make up how service games should work. Instead of restoring the title, the existing one will simply be expanded again and again and then improved until it is at least good.

Unlike Call of Duty, Rainbow Six does not need a new edition every year. That even protects the purse. Also, if I would buy every Season the Battle Pass, I pay less in the year than for a new AAA title.

How to continue with Rainbow Six? The upcoming Seasons will certainly bring other operator and maps, to revise existing maps and gadgets or miss operator completely new features.

That's exactly what victories need and makes good. The game is already good and does not have to get much better. Victories do not need a reboot, just always incentumn incentives to turn another round.

It's nice to come back after a few months and feel at home. After a short acclimatization you are almost back on the same skill booth and can get full.

Despite the age, even the entry into the game is relatively easy. Or as easily, as it can be a shooter, in which you can die through a single ball. Of course, a certain frustration tolerance must be there, but with the right tips can also be a lot of fun as beginners:
