Ubisoft has announced that it will be censoring Rainbow Six Siege. The team is currently working towards preparing Rainbow Six Siege for expansion into Asian territories and as such, there will be some adjustments made to its maps and icons to ensure compliance. These changes will affect all players, though as the French company noted none of these changes will have an impact on gameplay.
Going into more details, Ubisoft will remove all gambling references (such as pachinkos) from the environment. The team will also remove some environmental blood, though it did state that blood spatter from shots will remain. Ubisoft will also remove all sexual content from the game, and has replaced some posters (like a skull poster) with more family-oriented ones.
Ubisoft stated it wants to maintain a single build so that it is able to reduce the duplication of work on the development side. This will allow the team to be more agile, and address issues more quickly. Still, and since the game has been uncensored for the entire world all these past years, it feels like giving its fans the middle finger. Yes, business-wise it makes sense but Ubisoft should try and think outside the box and put players above profits.
You can find all the aesthetics changes here.

“Ubisoft… giving its fans the middle finger”
Unprecedented! /s
May as well censor the guns and sharp objects.
I choose the option of censoring Ubisoft. My Steam library shows me to have been largely successful.
yeah do some gun control and then knife control and then assault screwdriver control, also saying arent there gas grenades or something in the game? Thats drug use, remove that too.
Yeah…they should just replace the guns with toy guns that shoot candy, and a explosive weapons that launch pillows!
A have safe space and multiple gender options
Yes. Make it even more stale. We use guns to figuratively kill right! Fckn Mtgher fckn m ther btches fckn garbfge cunt7lholres Worhtless fckn sjwuirculture,lkAbglkj
LOL , What ? Why?
Oh this is because of the “Asian territories” rules ?
replacing some posters (like a skull poster) with more family-oriented ones in a tactical fps shooter. Oh thank god now the Asians can sleep at night…. I’m sure the Asian people can handle seeing a poster with a skull on it .
And sexual content for the Americans!
Sexual content and Violence for all !!
Vote me 2050 world election.
It’s seemingly incorrect to be bashing those in Asia for this when the article clearly states,
“Ubisoft stated it wants to maintain a single build so that it is able to reduce the duplication of work on the development side.”
The changes in question are therefore due to Ubisoft’s penny-pinching ways. John goes on to assert that Ubisoft ought to “put players above profits”.
Where was the bashing? Seems incorrect to assume such a thing. Ubisoft’s penny-pinching ways illustrated by the move into the Asian market.
My apologies then.
I’d love to see hijab on female operators. as a muslim arab master race, the fact that we are forced to endure corrupt and worthless western values bothers me a lot. you already forced your trash, valueless and humiliating culture on everyone in real world, can we get a break at least in video games?
lol, hijab female operators woudn’t be much different from anime warrior waifus, because it captures the absurdity of the situation
everyone missed my point, i meant western culture not beautiful islamic culture.
What the heck is this moron talking about? Hey, moron, I know you are too stupid to research and find that these censors are made to comply with China, but keep your crap for garbage sites like 4chan, where the bottom of the barrel like you belong.
low iq faget i meant western culture is ruining games not arab culture or anywhere else. i want hijab on my games so i can play them in my country you sub 60 iq neanderthal deeck eater
Did someone from 4chan touch you inappropriately ?
i wonder what parent complained to ubisoft for creating such foul game, that ruined her child, and now ubisoft is making us all feel guilty about it.
“Your sexual content stopped my child from becoming violent criminal! All he does now is stays in his room jacking the devil stick. I hope you are proud of what you have done Ubisoft!!” ~ a concerned parent
hahahahahahahaha wtf is this, the new era of trash games amazing
Maybe Ubisoft, as a French company, are simply wishing to continue the tradition of French capitulation to Asians since the Battle of Dien Bien Phu!
Have you seen the video that some black student is threatening his teacher with a gun? That happened in France.
Perhaps said individual took his inspiration from America.
but i thought morally superior europe had no guns.
Omfg.
Savage.
You thought wrong then.
People who made Ubisoft rich with their stupid design choices deserve every inch of censorship they can get
Typical modern country from western eu :v
Hey now LE MACARONI has 26% approval rating and has like what 4 years to go?
I really liked when he went to Germany and told her “reform the eu?” and Germany was like ” NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN” then he went to the EU, they took his reform suggestions and put them in a desk drawer as if he was the mailman delivering spam mail to the lobby of a skyscraper.
Somewhat ironically in the given context, Japan has a collective term for such cretinous individuals in the West – Baizuo.
east eu is a shethole with brain dead population
Next they will ban guns because it promotes toxic masculinity
If you defended them when they auto-banned users for profanity, you deserve this. Censorship always doubles down, and next time be smart and do not give them a dime.
Wait it’s not April 1st…
Why? did the SJW / Feminist / Soyboy / get triggered again? someone give them the tampons.
God dammit seriously ubi? And ffs why does it affect all players? Not like we share the same servers. Ive been pissed off since they started auto banning people for “mean words”
“…preparing Rainbow Six Siege for expansion into Asian territories…”
E.G. Commies are ruining everything like usual. Not that we don’t have Commie scum in the west too.
Most of them appear to work in the media or universities!
Never got this because no campaign. Assumed Ubisoft fired all it’s designers who actually realized this was based off a novel.
actually i don’t think this is based off any Tom Clancy novel aside from the first Rainbow Six 2 decades ago. I don’t think Tom would be cool with this current incarnation with all the super powers and “colorful” characters.
I know it’s not. That’s why I didn’t get it.
Last good Rainbow Six game was Raven Shield. The Vegas games were passable, but crap multiplayer, which was always a staple.
It’s actually a good game at its core. But, they’re really diverting from the original gritty feel of the game. Its definitely more Ubisoft than Tom Clancy at this point.
>make an m rated game
>take out all the m rated content
hmm
A video game that is literally all about murder is censoring blood, gambling and sexual content. lol
lol.. we need more religious fanatics SJW like anita to save the day ;). now just keep praising and shoelicking her
this just reach the stupidity level of 9000 lol
do you want to know my real opinion about those who make this type of video and ubisoft?
i mean no joking or sarcasm,
This makes it even more tough for me to want to go back after playing Black Ops 4.
Ubisoft will soon be living in a FPS as the islamists take over France.
Good thing all my money is toxic.
Next they will remove guns with banana or water gun or even d*ildo
put players above profits.
UmustBIjoking
Removing blood in a game that is already aimed at mature audiences. I can’t imagine what the industry will be like in the next five to ten years.
I find this news kinda bizarre since I just got done rewatching an oldie but goodie (Kick-Ass) and was thinking that they probably wouldn’t get away with half the stuff in that movie if it were to come out today. I haven’t seen any of the Deadpool movies but they seem way more slapstick.
This whole censorship and politically induced narrative is really destroying creative freedom and the very reason why I loved entertainment. At least when it comes to the most mainstream products. Everything has to be offensive these days for a lot of casual folks. I’m not really sure how we got to this point.
Pretty ridiculous that the rest of the world has to be effected just because of a few regions that aren’t able to accept some of the violent imageries seen in the game.
So is it Muslims or China?
what would be the point of a company that exists to make money if they were to prioritize what teenagers on the internet want?grab a basic marketing book (any book) and i promise you won’t get past 20th page of any book without it mentioning that a company exists to make money and goal is maximizing profit. if you’re not opening a business to make as much money as possible then what the fck are you doing opening a business company at first place?
You can do all of that without raping your RP and losing the demographic you already have a hold on.
Not what’s happening here
losing reputation and demographic like ubisoft and nvidia right? can you explain how their stock goes up then?
Sam is hilarious.
yeah, it’s called fluctuate but for the sake of this argument let’s say you’re right. so according to you their stock have been losing values since october. that means they must have adopted a new policy or changed an old policy since a month ago. can you point to what it is causing it and provide proof? because i’m having a hard time imagining a multinational company ( a successful and an established one in the market at that) be incompetent enough to first, not have a market analyzer and second be that stupid to not come up with something that a 17 years old kid came up with on the internet.
also convince me how a “sjw” company managed to only increase their stock value considerably over the past 4 years, specially considering the fact that gamers have been brainwashed and sensitive the most during past years.
“review bombed” that doesn’t mean anything you imbecile. you cried when gta v wasn’t coming to pc and started weird campaigns to get together and touch each other’s peepee and put a curse on rockstar but you ended up buying it like everyone else. what does fallout 76 and diablo have anything to do with sjw?you forgot what you were arguing about?
governments ban games, banned games mean less playerbase, less playerbase means less publicity and ultimately less money. you can cry all you want but ubisoft probably can decide better than a 70 iq teenager on the internet and they sure as shet do their research unlike kids like you.
i’m very certain maintaining one version of the game is much more cost effective compared to releasing and updating two version, at the end as i said they have experts who research and analyze their market with actual data and don’t talk out of their shethole like you do.
“AAA companies are out of touch and have been for years”
do you realize how fcking stupid you sound by saying something like that? also aren’t you here crying about whites bending to asians? i always see you cry about sjw and whites going extinct and shet like that. nothing like a moron who has no idea what he’s talking about gets under my skin.
