One of gaming’s most iconic characters looks set to cross over into Ubisoft’s tactical shooter. According to new reports, Solid Snake from the Metal Gear Solid series is coming to Rainbow Six Siege as a playable operator.

Rainbow Six Siege has increasingly leaned into crossover content in recent years, with operators and cosmetics inspired by major franchises across games, film, and television. Adding Solid Snake would push that strategy even further, tapping into nostalgia while reinforcing Siege’s identity as a thinking player’s shooter.

Solid Snake is the main protagonist from the Metal Gear Solid franchise by Konami, with the latest game to be released being Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater, a remake of the original 2004 title.

As of the time of writing, Ubisoft has yet to officially announce the collaboration, but has dropped a teaser that all but confirms it with the official reveal for Y11S1 scheduled to take place on February 15, 2026, we haven’t got long to wait.
