Rainbow Six Siege - Solid Snake

Seventy-six playable Operators later, and Ubisoft is teasing perhaps the most obvious new addition to Rainbow Six Siege: Solid Snake from Konami’s Metal Gear Solid. A new teaser is available which sees none other than Zero (Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher) informing someone over codec that, “Our window is closing. We only get one shot at this.”

Cut to a very familiar figure in a sneaking suit pulling out a silenced pistol amid, face obscured by red smoke. And if there’s any doubt, the video title literally says, “Solid Snake teaser.”

So there you have it – after decades, Sam Fisher and Solid Snake are finally going to be in a game together. It’s quite poetic, especially after Fisher was told, years ago, in Ghost Recon Wildlands, that the latter was out of the spy game.

Ubisoft will reveal more Solid Snake on February 15th when it showcases the roadmap for Year 11 at 8 AM PT. After a rather rough start to the year with hackers taking over and banning players for 67 days when they weren’t doling out tons of free currency, it’s quite the turnaround. Now let’s see if the next year of content can live up to the hype.

Rainbow Six Siege is available for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PS4, PS5, and PC. It received a major overhaul and rebranding called Siege X last year.
