The Tactical Circus Gets a New Clown
Gather ‘round, kids, it’s time for another episode of "Ubisoft Digs Up a Beloved Corpse to Sell Battle Passes." This time, the shovel has hit something solid—Solid Snake, to be precise. That’s right, the legendary soldier who once specialized in deep-cover espionage and philosophical musings about the nature of war is now being demoted to a cosmetic skin in Rainbow Six Siege. Because nothing says 'tactical realism' like a 60-year-old clone running around a destructible suburban house while a teenager from Ohio headshots him with a pizza-themed charm on their gun.

In a move that reeks of desperate nostalgia-bait, Ubisoft announced that Snake is coming to the game this March. And before you ask—yes, they got David Hayter back. They knew exactly which heartstrings to pull to make you reach for your wallet. They even released a trailer where Snake and Sam Fisher (who has been trapped in the Siege basement for years like a forgotten pet) finally 'squash the beef.' It’s the crossover every 2004 stealth fan dreamed of, being delivered in the most 2024 way possible: as a microtransaction.
The Details: What’s Actually in the Box?
According to the snippet of info we’ve been fed, the March update isn't just about the cardboard box enthusiast. We’re looking at:
- New Playlists: Probably something you’ll play twice before going back to Ranked and getting yelled at by a 12-year-old.
- Weapon Updates: Expect your favorite gun to be nerfed into a literal pea-shooter while the new seasonal weapon is brokenly overpowered for exactly three weeks.
- Map Updates: Ubisoft’s classic move of taking a map you liked and adding eighteen new rooms and three extra staircases until it feels like a fever dream.
- The Snake Elite Set: This is the main event. You get the bandana, the gravelly voice, and the crushing realization that Metal Gear Solid Delta still doesn't have a release date.
Rogue’s Take: The Retirement Home for Stealth Icons
Let’s be real for a second. Seeing Sam Fisher and Solid Snake on screen together should be a monumental moment in gaming history. Instead, it feels like watching two retired heavyweight champions doing a commercial for adult diapers. Sam Fisher hasn’t had a standalone game since 2013, and Snake has been in a coma since Hideo Kojima escaped the Konami basement. Now, they’re both stuck in Siege, a game that has transitioned from a gritty counter-terrorism simulator into a neon-soaked hero shooter where people wear Rick and Morty outfits.
The irony is thicker than Snake’s thighs in Brawl. Snake is a character built on the idea of avoiding conflict. Now, he’s being dropped into a game where the objective is to sprint through a drywall partition and spray-and-pray. And let’s talk about the "Don't Pre-order" rule, which applies doubly here. Don't buy the Year Pass just because you saw a bandana. Ubisoft is notorious for launching these 'milestone' updates with bugs that make the game literally unplayable for the first 48 hours. Remember when the audio used to reverse itself? Or when shields made you invincible? Expect Snake to launch with a bug where his cardboard box makes him invisible to cameras but also teleports him into the ceiling. It’s the Ubisoft way.
The Verdict: A Sucker is Born Every Minute
Is it cool to hear David Hayter again? Absolutely. The man’s voice sounds like a bag of gravel being put through a blender in the best way possible. But is this 'content'? No. It’s a skin. It’s a coat of paint on a house that’s been leaning to the left for five years. Ubisoft knows that Siege is their golden goose, and they’re going to keep plucking its feathers until there’s nothing left but a sad, naked bird. If you’re buying this because you think it’ll bring back the 'feeling' of Metal Gear, you’re playing yourself harder than Revolver Ocelot played the Patriots.
Wait for the gameplay reveals. Wait for the patch notes that inevitably reveal they’ve broken the recoil on every gun you actually use. Most importantly, wait for the inevitable 'Server Maintenance' tweet that will happen ten minutes after the update goes live. Snake might be a master of stealth, but he can’t hide the fact that this is a blatant cash grab aimed directly at your childhood memories.
๐ Gamer Verdict
3.5/10 HYPE
"A nostalgic skin-deep update that masks the decaying core of a once-great tactical shooter."
✅ The Good
- David Hayter is back, and his voice still carries the entire industry.
- Seeing Snake and Sam Fisher together is cool for exactly five seconds.
❌ The Bad
- It's a $20 cosmetic fix for a game riddled with cheaters and bugs.
- Another slap in the face to fans waiting for an actual Splinter Cell or MGS game.
