UBISOFT® ANNOUNCES PILOT PROGRAM PHASE 2 FOR TOM CLANCY’S RAINBOW SIX: SIEGE’S ESPORT SCENE
SAN FRANCISCO — March 18, 2019 — Today, Ubisoft® announced Phase 2 of the revenue sharing Pilot Program for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege’s esport scene that began in 2018. This is a new step for the program, riding on the continued success of allowing revenue sharing with Pro League teams, based on specific in-game items, providing organizations and pro players additional revenue directly from the game to help foster a more stable environment. Phase 2 of the program will take place from June 2019 and run until May 2020 and will seek to develop a long-lasting and high-level competitive scene by supporting teams and help evolve the Rainbow Six Siege ecosystem for our players.
Phase 2 of the Pilot Program expands on many levels from its previous iteration, reaching the highest standards of the esport landscape. With this new phase, up to 16 teams will be included, compared to 11 for Phase 1. The pilot program is open for all to apply in 4 regions: North America, Europe, Latin America & Asia Pacific.
Phase 2 of the Pilot Programs introduces a new and open qualitative selection process. Teams both inside and outside of the Rainbow Six Siege ecosystem can apply. Additionally, in an effort to promote a fair and neutral evaluation process, third parties will be involved in the selection of all candidates. This approach aims to identify the best partners, accurately assess their team vision and why they should be part of Rainbow Six: Siege’s ever-expanding ecosystem.
The teams involved in this Pilot Program get a share of the revenues resulting from team branded and Pro League related in-game sales. Please find all the details on the revenue share system and application process at this address: https://rainbow6.ubisoft.com/

About Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege
Alongside a thriving professional esports scene and a community of over 40 million registered players, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of a fast-paced, ever-evolving multiplayer experience grounded in the selection of unique Operators. Using the right mix of tactics and destruction, Rainbow Six teams engage their enemies in sieges, where both sides have exclusive skills and gadgets at their disposal. Defenders prepare by transforming the environments around them into modern strongholds, while attackers use recon drones to gain intel for carefully planning their assault. With access to dozens of Operators inspired by real world counter-intelligence agents from around the globe, players can choose exactly how they want to approach each challenge they encounter. Through the constant addition of new Operators and maps that add to the depth of both strategy and combat, the unpredictability of each round of Rainbow Six Siege sets a new bar for intensity and competition in gaming.
