Rainbow Six Siege’s House and Plane aren’t getting reworks, but Favela might

Rainbow Six Siege and its competitive meta have changed a great deal over the three years since the game was released, and maps like Favela, House, and Plane no long suit the tactics currently favoured by players. All three of these maps have been excluded from ranked play for a few seasons now, with Ubisoft even removing Favela from casual playlists. With the recent rework to Hereford, many fans have wondered if these maps would soon become the target of a complete map overhaul. According to Rainbow Six Siege’s game designer Leroy Athanassoff, who we spoke with at the Six Major Paris, that’s not going to be the case. “There are maps like House and Plane, which are really just flavour maps, they are hard to rework without losing the full soul of the map.” However, when questioned about Favela in particular, Athanassoff was a little more hopeful. “Favela is an in-between map. You can see the [competitive] potential, but at the same time there is a lot of flavour, a lot of destructibility, so it's a tough call for now and we are not sure yet.”
