Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, Ubisoft’s tactical Fps, is a game that has defied the odds of time. Approaching its ninth anniversary, Siege has long been a staple of the gaming community, known for its intense gameplay, intricate strategies, and diverse cast of operators.
However, as the years go by, fans can’t help but wonder: is it time for a sequel? The answer might surprise you, as Creative Director Alexander Karpazis has some strong opinions on this matter that could change how you think about the future of the game.

TikTok has been measurably cutting into Google‘s search traffic for years, with more and more Gen Z users turning to the app for questions about where to eat and what to buy. Southwest Airlines is taking advantage of that trend with its latest ad campaign, which tapped 10 creators for a sponsored sweep aimed at selling plane tickets to the youths.
To create the campaign, Southwest flew all 10 creators to destinations like Denver, Chicago, New Orleans, Cancún, Mexico, and Hawaii, so they could film custom content on-site. That content will roll out in phases, with all videos being shoppable: a “Book Now” button will appear that’ll launch an in-platform tool where users can buy tickets directly from the creators’ content.
As you can see in the below video from Snowboard Jesus, participating creators specifically hype up the fact that they can book travel on TikTok:

Tuesday marks the 40th anniversary of a grim day in U.K. history: the Battle of Orgreave when police clashed with striking workers at a coking plant, leaving more 100 people injured.
Those shocking events are investigated in the documentary Strike: An Uncivil War, which on Monday – the eve of the anniversary – won the Audience Award at the 31st Sheffield DocFest. News media, authorities, and the Conservative government of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher tried to pin responsibility for the violence on the workers, but the film directed by Daniel Gordon lays bare an orchestrated plan by police to attack the strikers.
‘Strike: An Uncivil War’
“We have been overawed by how much audiences have been deeply engaged with films at Sheffield DocFest this year, and this is especially true of Daniel Gordon’s Strike: An Uncivil War,” Sheffield Creative Director Raul Niño Zambrano and Managing Director Annabel Grundy said in a statement.
