Year 7 is right around the corner, and we have many exciting things to share with you over the coming months. We also want to keep the community informed about some updates to the core team.

Read on for some words prepared by our Creative Director, Leroy Athanassoff, as he welcomes a new but familiar face into the role.

Leroy Athanassoff
Hi Siege players and community,

I wanted to let you know that due to personal reasons, I will be leaving my role of Creative Director on Siege to pursue other opportunities at Ubisoft. This isn’t a decision I make lightly – I love this game and this community, and I’m so proud of everything our team has accomplished together over the last two years – but I’m confident that it’s the right one, and the team has given me their full support. Don’t worry, I won’t be going to... Read more

Anti-Cheat can be a difficult topic to discuss, from its deeply technical nature to the necessity of keeping initiatives secret to protect against dubious folks exploiting them. Even so, it’s something we know you’re keen to better understand.

Below, we’ve put together a primer on the many facets of Anti-Cheat. We want this to stand as a reference into what we do – from the way we talk about cheaters, to statistics behind cheating on Siege, to the actions we focus on each day, all the way through to some plans we have for the future.

It’s quite long, as we want to establish a better understanding of what we do before coming to you with more regular, more focused updates on social in the coming weeks and months – this is something we can improve and we’re committing to. For the abbreviated version of this blog post, check ... Read more

Different people come to the Test Server for different reasons. While some want to try out new operators ahead of their release, we know that some of you want to try out features that are still in development. You want to help shape the future of Siege and provide meaningful feedback. You came to the right place.

The Lab Test Server is the latest addition to Siege's seasonal roadmap and will offer up opportunities to try out features that we're still working on and get a sneak peek at things that are early in development. Sometimes, these features will still be months or seasons away from release and sometimes, these features will be experimental features we want to put through their paces with the community before deciding whether they'd be a good fit for the Live servers. Basically, it's a place for you to get an even earlier lo... Read more
