Rainbow Six Siege Year 11 roadmap details have officially been revealed, and Ubisoft is going big. From a Metal Gear Solid crossover featuring Solid Snake to Ranked 3.0, a brand-new map, major operator reworks and even a new Legend Division, Year 11 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious updates in the game’s history.

The roadmap was unveiled during the Six Invitational 2026, outlining four seasons of content that begin with Operation Silent Hunt on March 3, 2026.

Year 11 Season 1 Operation Silent Hunt

Rainbow Six Siege Year 11 roadmap

Year 11 kicks off with Operation Silent Hunt, headlined by the arrival of Solid Snake as a permanent attacking Operator in collaboration with Konami.

Snake joins with one armour and three speed, wielding the Soliton Radar MKIII gadget for real-time enemy detection. He also brings a passive ability called On-Site Procurement, allowing him to scavenge secondary gadgets from fallen Operators.

This season also includes a limited-time 4v4 infiltration mode inspired by Metal Gear Solid, map modernisations for Villa, Coastline and Oregon, balancing updates aimed at roamers and entry operators, and the final chapter of the 6v6 Dual Front mode before its removal.

Ranked 3.0 And Calypso Casino In Season 2

Season 2 introduces Ranked 3.0, a major overhaul of competitive progression. Hidden MMR is being removed, visible skill-based ranks return, and placement matches are making a comeback at the start of each season.

Champion rank is expanding into five divisions, and players will see more transparent progression overall.

A brand-new map called Calypso Casino also launches in Season 2, alongside mouse and keyboard support on consoles, an in-game esports tab, rotating operator trials for unowned characters, and the remaster of Dokkaebi with a reworked gadget that now targets individual defenders instead of the entire team.

Legend Division And Operator Mastery In Season 3

Season 3 raises the ceiling for competitive players with the introduction of Legend Division, a solo queue playlist exclusive to Champion rank players.

This new division will use regional MMR leaderboards that open mid-season, tracking top Operators and awarding in-game charms to the Top 100 players.

Season 3 also introduces Operator Mastery, letting players level individual Operators across four tiers: Specialist, Expert, Veteran and Master. Each tier unlocks cosmetic rewards like player titles and card borders.

A new Operator codenamed FIREWORKS is set to arrive, capable of firing a projectile that pierces shields. Ubisoft also confirmed new arcade playlists including 3v3 modes and a Drone Racing event, alongside continued improvements to anti-cheat systems under the R6 Shieldguard Secure Platform.

Testing Grounds And Hostage Rework In Season 4

Season 4 closes out Year 11 with another operator remaster, a new weapon, a new attacker secondary gadget, and three more modernised maps.

Hostage mode is being reworked to become more competitive and will enter the Ranked playlist. Ubisoft is also introducing a social hub with cross-platform friend lists, recently played players, and squad invite codes.

Testing Grounds will trial a new reinforcement mechanic that allows half-raised reinforcement walls, giving defenders more tactical flexibility.

Classic events such as Larceny are also returning before Year 11 wraps up.

Rainbow Six Siege is available in Free Access via Ubisoft+, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Ubisoft Store, Steam and Epic Games Store.

With Ranked 3.0, Legend Division, map overhauls and a major Metal Gear Solid collaboration, Year 11 feels less like a seasonal refresh and more like a structural evolution for Siege.
