Rainbow Six Siege Year 11 Season 2 Launches June 2026 with Major Overhaul and New Features
May 17, 2026
The Rainbow Six Siege Year 11 Season 2 rollout is set for June 2, 2026, introducing a sweeping overhaul of operators, maps, and game systems on a global scale.
The Operation System Override reveal aligns with the BLAST R6 Salt Lake City Major, which concludes with a $200,000 prize on May 13, and is scheduled for May 17.
Year 11 Season 2 centers on a major overhaul of Ranked 3.0, including changes to progression, matchmaking, and rewards.
Console players gain native mouse and keyboard support for cross‑input play with PC users, alongside continued anti-cheat enforcement.
Calypso, a casino-inspired map with significant verticality, joins the lineup to drive competitive play.
The esports tab receives a comprehensive refresh, featuring a Tier 1 Teams page and deeper stats and insights to boost engagement.
Enhanced esports integration includes detailed Tier 1 team and player statistics, returning in-game events, and updated Ranked map rotations.
Rotating Trial Operators will let players test six operators each week (three attackers and three defenders) without owning them.
The platform lineup remains PC, PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, with ongoing support and updates.
Dokkaebi is fully remastered, with evolved intel-denial capabilities, a new primary weapon (XK23 rifle), altered damage and visibility mechanics, and a reworked gadget ecosystem.
The XK23 rifle is added as a new weapon option for Dokkaebi, Rauroa, and Sens as part of the big weapon integration.
Dokkaebi’s remaster sharpens her role as a focused intel-denial attacker, complemented by a new primary weapon available to selected operators.
