trending_up Progression & Upgrades | |
Skills & Progression | |
Progression is based on unlocking and mastering the game's 75+ unique operators. Each operator has a signature gadget and a specific loadout of weapons. There are no skill trees; progression is about expanding your tactical options by unlocking more operators with in-game currency ('Renown') and improving your personal skill and map knowledge. |
The game features a return of Specialist abilities, offering unique powers like grapple hooks and active camo. A significant change is the reported removal of 'tac sprint,' with players instead having a constant, faster base speed. The beloved 'looping streaks' feature is expected to return in the form of an equippable perk. |
public World & Exploration | |
World & Level Design | |
The game features a large pool of compact, intricate maps designed for close-quarters tactical combat. With the Siege X update, five classic maps (Bank, Clubhouse, Border, Chalet, Kafe) have received a full visual and fidelity overhaul, with more planned for future seasons. A new, much larger map called 'District' was introduced exclusively for the 'Dual Front' game mode. |
Multiplayer will feature a variety of maps, including three remastered classics from Black Ops II at launch: Raid, Express, and Hijacked. New maps are described as being more colorful than those in Black Ops 6, with some featuring automated doors instead of interactable ones. Campaign locations include Japan and the fictional city of Avalon. |

Multiplayer Details | |
The primary mode is the 5v5 single-elimination 'Bomb' mode. Other classic modes like Hostage and Secure Area are available. The major new addition is 'Dual Front,' a permanent 6v6 mode with respawns and simultaneous attack/defense objectives on the game's largest map. |
The game features a full suite of multiplayer modes, including 6v6 classics. A new 'Ground War type mode' is rumored, which will include a wingsuit feature. The controversial 'Pick 10' create-a-class system is not expected to return. |
extension Editions & DLC | |
Available Editions | |
The core game is free-to-play with access to most modes and a rotating roster of 26 operators. The Elite Edition ($19.99) unlocks Ranked mode and 16 additional operators. The Ultimate Edition ($39.99) provides instant access to all 52 additional operators and exclusive cosmetic items. All progress from previous versions of Siege carries over. |
The game will be available in standard physical and digital editions for $70 USD (€80). It will also be available on day one to subscribers of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. |
Post-Launch Content / DLC | |
Siege X follows a seasonal live-service model. Every season introduces a new Battle Pass with branching paths, new operators, map reworks, and major balance changes. The first season, 'Operation Daybreak,' included a rework for the operator Clash. |
The game is expected to follow a seasonal model with weekly challenges and events, similar to Modern Warfare III, to maintain player engagement. These events will offer rewards like animated camos and aftermarket parts. New maps and content will be added with each season. |
