Ubisoft announced today that the fan-favorite spooky-themed Doktor’s Curse event will return to Rainbow Six Siege starting October 13th, and it will run until November 2nd. Doktor’s Curse: The Returned - as it’s called this time around - will bring back the Hide and Seek game mode, which takes place in the horror-filled Doktor’s Castle map.
The seasonal event will include Oryx on the Hunters team and Azami, Nomad, Thorn, and Gridlock on the Monsters team. As you might have guessed, the Monsters must hide from the Hunters in an attempt to survive the match.
Check out a new trailer for the event below:
SAN FRANCISCO – October 12, 2022 – Today, Ubisoft announced that Rainbow Six Siege’s frightful fan-favorite event, Doktor’s Curse, returns tomorrow October 13 until November 2. Doktor’s Curse: The Returned brings back the beloved Hide and Seek game mode in the spooky Doktor’s Castle map where Doc’s dreadful horrors roam.
In this version of the 5v5 Hide and Seek game mode, new monstrous characters join the event, including Oryx on the Hunters (Attackers) and Azami, Nomad, Thorn, and Gridlock on the Monsters (Defenders). Monsters must hide to survive the night from the Attacking Hunters. The Hunters will only have Breaching Hammers as weapons and one tracking gadget, each attached to a unique operator skin. Their goal will be to find the Monsters and take them out of the Castle. On the other side, the defending Monsters have no weapons but can use traps and a unique ability created for this mode: Nightstride, which lets them become momentarily invisible and run faster to escape and hide.
The Doktor’s Curse Collection, including bundles for Smoke, Kapkan, Frost, Lesion, Doc, Bandit, Sledge, Lion, Jackal, Aruni and Ela, is back, with the addition of new bundles for Oryx, Azami, Nomad, Thorn, and Gridlock. In addition, there will be additional bundles for Pulse (Chiroptera Bundle), Kaid (Bloodthirst Bundle), and Melusi (Haunting Bundle), as well as three themed ones: Wicked Surgery Bundle, Incorporeal Bundle, and the Flayed Pain Bundle. Bundles are available for 300 R6 Credits each or with 12500 Renown. Each player logging in from tomorrow until November 2 will get a Doktor’s Curse pack for free and can get three other packs by completing weekly Ubisoft Connect Challenges. In addition, if a player already purchased any complete bundle from a previous Doktor’s Curse Episode, the corresponding Operator’s Card is granted for free.
Rainbow Six Siege is now available to play on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, the Xbox One family of consoles, Xbox Series X | S, Windows PC, including on Ubisoft+, Ubisoft’s subscription service*, Amazon Luna.
