Rainbow Six Siege revealed major plans for the year to come, including Legend Division, R6 ShieldGuard Secure Platform, Ranked 3.0, the new Calypso Casino map, and an iconic new operator: Solid Snake, coming straight from the METAL GEAR SOLID series.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – FEBRUARY 16, 2026 – Today, at Six Invitational in Paris, Ubisoft shared a series of major announcements reflecting its vision for the next seasons of Rainbow Six Siege. This ambitious Year 11 plan introduces a focus on the core gameplay offer, including updates to Ranked and a new competitive mode, R6 ShieldGuard anti-cheat improvements, and compelling new content to keep players engaged each season. Starting with the launch of Season One: Operation Silent Hunt on March 3, these announcements reinforce the team’s commitment to community priorities and to strengthening the core 5v5 experience, to support its continued growth as a top tactical shooter.

Year 11’s Season 1 Operation Silent Hunt brings a powerful new permanent operator from KONAMI’s legendary METAL GEAR SOLID series – Solid Snake. This iconic attacker will give players access to intel gathering gadget never seen before in Siege, as well as a brand-new secondary weapon – the legendary handgun TACIT .45 – a semi-automatic pistol with integrated suppressor built for covert operations. Solid Snake combines stealth, agility, and tactical intelligence, offering valuable recon abilities for attacking players to gain the advantage in a match.

“We’re excited to bring the world of METAL GEAR SOLID series into Rainbow Six Siege with Season 1’s new Redacted event, a limited‑time 4v4 infiltration mode where Snake and Zero lead a team of elite operators to recover stolen data.” says Joshua Mills, Creative Director ”Players will also discover exclusive skins such as Jackal as Gray Fox and Ash as Meryl, and we’re thrilled to have David Hayter lend his iconic voice to Snake’s in‑game cues. The team also went a step further with ‘Last Assignment’, a new mission for Dual Front designed as a special nod to long‑time METAL GEAR SOLID series fans.”

Also coming in Season 1, Siege is releasing a new 1v1 mode to the Arcade playlist for a 2-week limited time. Players will face off in short, high-intensity rounds centered on solo gunplay, movement, and mechanical prowess. This fast-paced mode strips Siege down to its fundamentals and offers players the opportunity to challenge friends and random online players alike, or to test their pure mechanical duel skills. Additionally, three modernized maps will launch, bringing improved visuals and new destructible ingredients to Oregon, Coastline and Villa. Season 1 will be Dual Front’s last season, with this mode to be removed following one final METAL GEAR SOLID series themed event. The removal of Dual Front represents another step in the team’s renewed focus on the core 5v5 experience. This shift ensures that players of the core Siege experience will continue to benefit from the team’s work, made possible thanks to the key technology that was developed for – and through – Dual Front. Lastly, Season 1 brings a new seasonal cadence with four balancing updates and two Ranked map rotations, as well as a meta focused on Entry and Roaming, driven by changes to Skopos, Alibi, and Ela.

Seasons 2, 3 and 4 will welcome many new features, enhancing the gameplay to a unique experience:

• The integration of a Secure boot, named R6 ShieldGuard Secure Platform, will add a deeper anti-cheat protection layer to PC. Its objective is to strengthen security where competitive integrity matters most.
• Y11 will deliver an Operator remaster in Season 2, with Dokkaebi evolving into a high-pressure intel-denial Attacker, loaded with a new weapon as part of her reinforced combat identity. This season will also bring a brand-new map that pays homage to Rainbow’s iconic Vegas era: Calypso Casino. Designed with today’s competitive standards, this map will be available in Ranked mode when it’s released.
• Season 3 will kick off with the addition of a brand-new Defender to the squad, a powerful counter shield operator. Siege will deliver a brand-new long-term progression system – Operator Mastery* – that will allow to level every single operator, and a new 3v3 arcade mode for a 2-week limited time. The new competitive playlist Legend Division, also coming in Season 3, is a solo-queue playlist only for the best players to become champions, elevating the game’s core 5v5 competitive foundation and experience. Y11 updates will include three modernized maps per season.
• Finally, Season 4 will unveil the Social HUB. It will offer players an in-game space to exchange with friends, send invites, and manage their squad, no matter what platform they use. A rework of Hostage will feature Season 4 to ensure it fits Siege’s tactical DNA and works on a competitive level. Full details for Season 4 will be unveiled later this year.

Prior to the Year 11 reveal, Siege’s Player Protection team shared their Year 11 priorities in a community livestream. Check out their announcements in the recap blog post here: PLAYER PROTECTION IN YEAR 11.

On February 23, Rainbow Six arrives on mobile globally. Players will be able to download it on iOS and Android and play with more than 20 operators on iconic maps such as Bank, Border, Clubhouse, Oregon, and Villa. Game modes will include Bomb, Bomb Rush, Team Deathmatch, Ranked, Quick Play, and Private matches. Rainbow Six Mobile will feature new content and seasonal updates, offering 5v5 matches using drones, barricades, cameras, and traps.

Second Half to Debut on Friday, Feb. 20

TORONTO – Feb. 13, 2025 – Love and death hang hand-in-hand in the air as the first half of the 5th episode of Scarlet Hollow, the award-winning gothic horror narrative developed by Black Tabby Games (Slay the Princess), launches today on PC via Steam as a free update. In order to alleviate crunch and ensure the best possible experience, the second half of the episode will premiere on Friday, Feb. 20.

A heavy curse pools underneath Scarlet Hollow, pulling in anyone susceptible to its unseen tendrils. Grab a bag of boiled peanuts (or don’t, why would you— ???), pick a combination of character traits, and step off the bus into the rural North Carolina mining town you once called home.

You remember your darling cousin Tabitha, don’t you? Her familial warmth may be dampened by stressors from managing the town’s coalminers and the recent death of her mother — your aunt Pearl — but don’t worry. You just have to make it through the funeral next week…then it’s back on the bus. Easy! If only the town didn’t have…other plans. 

Explore multiple paths of choice-based storytelling to sculpt survival into many dreadful shapes, with a single playthrough providing only ~15% of possible branching content. Embody a booksmart beefcake, divine Dr. Dolittle, or other imaginative pairs of characteristics to navigate the unknown, unnatural events that begin to bear down on the town’s denizens during your stay.

Meet a menagerie of memorable faces as they react to critical decisions. See how your choices affect not only the people around you, but the story’s entire trajectory as branching narrative paths culminate into several horrific ends told through more than 930,000 words to date in the complete Episode 5 from award-winning writer and developer Tony Howard-Arias, paired with expressive new illustrations from award-winning artist Abby Howard, the married duo also behind 2023’s critically acclaimed bestseller Slay the Princess.

Episode 5 serves as the final major content release for Scarlet Hollow in Early Access, with Episodes 6 and 7 to arrive in the future as part of The Final Chapters, when the game will leave Early Access.

“Our ambition with Scarlet Hollow is to make the most reactive narrative game that’s ever been made,” says Tony Howard-Arias, co-founder of Black Tabby Games. “There are countless ways the story can change depending on even your smallest choices, and wherever there’s a temptation to cut corners or write inconveniently quagmired characters out of the story, we just keep going. No two playthroughs will ever be the same.”

Shape surreal storylines as part one of Scarlet Hollow – Episode 5 launches today as a free update on PC via Steam. For more information on Scarlet Hollow, check out the official website, follow developer Black Tabby Games on Twitter and Tumblr, and join the official Discord and Reddit.

Neolithic Dawn – Survival Mode Update Surviving this prehistoric adventure just got more interesting. 

London, UK, 13th February 2026 – After the momentous launch of Neolithic Dawn 1.0 for Meta Quest in December 2025, team Neolithic are back with the survival adventure’s next major update. And “survival” is key to this latest addition, creating a brand new ‘Survival Mode’ for tribe members.

Survival has always been at the heart of the Neolithic Dawn adventure, with this new gameplay mode offering players greater versatility. In ‘Survival Mode’, players can create custom play sessions with no fixed objectives to complete; the only objective is to survive 10,000 BC North America! Furthermore, it’ll also offer drop-in and drop-out accessibility, allowing other players to easily access the world rather than requiring a room code. 

In future updates, the ‘Survival Mode’ will be expanded upon with the addition of base building. This allows players to build their homestead wherever they like.

With the introduction of ‘Survival Mode’, Neolithic Dawn players will find the original survival campaign has now been renamed ‘Story Mode’. Furthermore, the co-op and single-player save system has now been merged. That allows players to have multiple Story Mode saves and choose to play those same games with friends.

“This new Survival Mode is a direct response to our community,” says James Belian, Neolithic LLC founder. “We heard your ideas, and when something can make Neolithic Dawn even better, we’re all in.”

But that’s not all! In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, you can now customise your character with the “Lovestruck” accessories pack. This features a heart arrow through a head hat and a pastel pink hair colour.  

Neolithic Dawn – Horizon Store Link | Steam

Neolithic Dawn Survival Mode Update:

• Survival Mode! – Adds the ability to ‘Quick Play’ straight into Neolithic Dawn with no objectives
• Story Mode – The traditional solo/co-op campaign everyone loves
• Valentine’s Cosmetic – Accessorise with the “Lovestruck” hat & hair pack.
• bHaptics Support – Feel like you’re in 10,000BC thanks to bHaptic integration!
• Backpack Refactored – Redesigned with 3 new slots to store weapons and greater stability

Neolithic Dawn is available now on the Horizon Store for Meta Quest, priced at $19.99 USD/€19.50 EUR. Neolithic Dawn is also available on Steam Early Access for PC VR headsets. The Meta Quest and SteamVR editions offer complete parity for full cross-play co-op support.   

About Neolithic Dawn:

An open-world VR survival adventure like no other, Neolithic Dawn has been built exclusively for VR. Become a hunter/gatherer in 10,000 BC North America, taking a journey of more than one lifetime. Explore dense forests and icy tundras in this unrelenting wilderness, looking for valuable resources. Craft tools and weapons to fight prehistoric beasts, or test your skills and tame them!

About Neolithic LLC:

Started by James Bellian in 2021, Neolithic Dawn was originally a solo project looking to harness the power of VR. Over the past four years, the project and the development team have grown to create an expansive, prehistoric world filled with exciting possibilities.

Ravaged by the effects of the Celestial Collapse and the cessation of power provided by the runes, the eastern lands of Azuma are a shadow of their prosperous past. Weakened by corruptive forces, the gods of nature retreated from the world, leaving mountains to crumble and fields to wither. The people of Azuma seek aid against a blight that has swept these once-bountiful lands. One young hero enters into a contract with a dragon and sets out on a journey. “Accept the might of the Earth Dancer. Use this power to save the land.”

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma takes players on an all-new adventure in the country of Azuma, a never-before-seen part of the world steeped in Eastern culture. Here, players will assume the role of an Earth Dancer destined to return hope—and life—to the once-thriving land. Choose from one of two protagonists whose fates are closely tied together, and experience reimagined and expanded Rune Factory gameplay; as an Earth Dancer, players will farm with grace, restore and build entire villages, and fight with new weapons like the Bow and Talismans. Azuma is a vast world to explore with majestic villages to uncover, each taking inspiration from Japanese culture and each with a seasonal theme. In addition to exploration, combat, and village-building, players will also cultivate relationships with the locals, recruiting them to your side in battle or to help manage the villages. Wield sacred treasures of the gods and the Earth Dancer’s power of dance to purify the land and return Azuma to its former glory. The adventure of a new world awaits.

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma Key Features:

Bold New Abilities and Weapons: As an Earth Dancer, use the power of dance, sacred treasures, and fresh weapons like the Bow and Talisman to purify the land, farm, and undo the Blight’s damage.

It Takes a Village: Don’t just mind the farm—rebuild entire villages! Construct and place buildings strategically to entice people to return to the villages and contribute. Revive the gods to bring vitality and valuable resources back to the plagued lands.

Your Fantasy Japanese Life: Experience beautiful Japanese-inspired character designs and aesthetics—from festivals to events to monsters. Explore Azuma’s natural landscapes and its seasonal-themed locales steeped in tradition.
