Game publisher Ubisoft has extended its post-launch support for first-person shooter video game "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege," which was created by Ubisoft Montreal. The support of the game community is the main factor for this decision despite the less attention received by the "Rainbow Six Siege" compared to the industry's biggest shooters such as "Counter-Strike: Global Offensive" or "Destiny."

Though the developer has not yet revealed its plan for "Rainbow Six Siege" for 2017, fans are assured of seeing plenty of new content for the coming year. The studio announced on Twitter this development, as below.
