Rainbow Six Siege is changing its ‘aesthetics’ for China, and fans are peeved

Ubisoft has announced that it is making changes to Rainbow Six Siege as it prepares to expand the game into Asian territories, and in the process the company is altering in-game art and visuals to comply with local decency laws. The changes range from minor alterations to menu icons to the removal of environmental blood spatter, and furious fans are taking to forums to voice their displeasure. In a blog post dated November 2, Ubisoft explained some of the changes coming to Siege in Year 3, Season 4, and provided the rationale for the alterations. The company said it wants a “single, global version” of Siege rather than multiple branches - that way, Siege’s teams will only have to work on one version of the game, rather than having to update several different versions. “We are adjusting art and visuals, but are not compromising what makes Rainbow Six Siege the game you know today.” Some of the changes are very minor, but slightly baffling: wall art showing the Grim Reaper’s face is being changed to conceal the skull with a face mask and sunglasses, and action feed icons that show skulls will instead show a training dummy with an “X” on the chest.
