Borderlandsis getting a crossover with tactical shooterRainbow Six Siege X. The combination may come as a surprise to bothBorderlandsandRainbow Six Siege Xfans, considering the difference between their genres.
It’s a new era of collaborations and crossovers in gaming, andRainbow Six Siege Xis no stranger to them. Prior to itsrelaunch asRainbow Six Siege X, the game partnered with titles likeDead by Daylight,Resident Evil, as well as other media likeThe Boys, and even Twitch streamer Jynxzi. Now, it’s adding one more title to its list.
Now,Rainbow Six Siege Xhas dropped a teaser revealing the collaboration withBorderlands. The teaser consists of a brief video of one ofBorderlands' infamous Psychos staring at the camera with a lit lighter in his hand, before releasing it and revealing theRainbow Six Siege Xlogo on one side and theBorderlandslogo on the other. Players of both franchises are encouraged to stay tuned for July 15, when more information will be revealed on what this crossover will contain.
July 15 Will Be a Big Day for Ubisoft Fans
While much about theRainbow Six Siege XandBorderlandscollaboration is unknown at this time, what is known is that July 15 will be a major day for fans of Ubisoft games. July 15 will be the final day to enter Ubisoft’sPhotomodecontest, which can net players a trip to Ubisoft Montreal for a tour of the studio, among a selection of other rewards for those who land in second-to-tenth place.
Further,The Division 2andPayday 3will be launching their own crossover on that day.The Division 2received a similarly brief teaser to theBorderlandsandRainbow Sixcrossover, only showingDivision agentswalking in formation while wearing some of the iconic masks the thieves of thePaydayfranchise use.
In both of Ubisoft’s crossovers, it’s not yet clear ifPaydayandBorderlandswill be doing anything on their side, or if the series will only collide within Ubisoft’s games. WhilePayday 3could implement something fromThe Division 2easily enough,Borderlands 4isn’t out yet, complicating matters a bit. However,Borderlands 4players can get a weapon skinfor the game before its launch, so it’s not out of the question. GivenRainbow Six Siege’s crossover history, though, players should likely expect to seeBorderlandscosmetics within the tactical FPS, but not necessarily the other way around. In any case, fans of both franchises will learn more on July 15.
