Rainbow Six Siege X Announces a DOOM Collaboration

Ubisoft has announced a Rainbow Six Siege X collaboration with the DOOM series. The themed content arrives in the game on December 22, according to the official Rainbow Six account on social media.

Ubisoft posted a short teaser captioned “Step through the gates of Hell on December 22nd.” The video shows hellfire bursting through a wall, along with the Rainbow Six Siege X and DOOM logos and the words “Stay Tuned.”

Company hasn’t said yet w hat the collab will include. Most likely, players will get cosmetic bundles for operators styled after the Doom Slayer, DOOM weapons, or demons. A themed event or limited-time mode is also possible, as with some of the game’s other collabs.

In a tactical shooter like Siege, every millisecond counts, and high ping can cost you a gunfight before you even see the enemy. If that’s a problem for you, try IceVPN. The service has more than 80 servers around the world and works for all competitive games. As we showed in our guide How To Fix High Ping in CS2, it can cut your ping by a factor of three.

Rainbow Six Siege has teamed up with other big franchises many times before. The game has featured Halo-inspired bundles with Master Chief armor, as well as collabs with Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Iron Maiden, and even Rick and Morty. The Doom Slayer showing up in Siege makes a lot of sense, especially since both games are known for brutal, fast-paced gunfights.

The collab also lands during a busy stretch for the DOOM series. DOOM: The Dark Ages gets its Slaughter Mode horde mode on November 16, and id Software is already working on its next game.
