The Siege team is excited to continue the Sixth Guardian Program in Y10S1 with a brand new bundle chosen by YOU, the Siege community.
This season, Sixth Guardian is partnering once more with Worldwide Cancer Research, an organization funding visionary, game-changing cancer research around the world to start new cures. The "Sixth Guardian Hope" bundle will release on March 6th and features a full Azami set, as chosen by the Siege community in an online poll. One hundred percent of net proceeds (no less than $6 USD per bundle) will go to Worldwide Cancer Research to specifically contribute toward funding for cutting-edge breast cancer research.
Starting on March 8th, we invite all Rainbow Six Siege creators and community members to join the movement by streaming or creating social media content over the weekend. We've put together a Creator Kit package available via the Ubisoft Creators Program for the occasion which includes stream overlays and assets. You can also download the kit here.
SIXTH GUARDIAN HOPE BUNDLE
This exclusive bundle includes a cosmetics set for Azami, and features her signature sleek suit accented with pink, the universal color for breast cancer. Specifically, the set includes:
-
"Sixth Guardian Hope" Uniform
-
"Sixth Guardian Hope" Headgear

"Sixth Guardian Hope" Background Card
-
"Sixth Guardian Hope" Charm
The bundle will be available for a limited time.
ABOUT WORLDWIDE CANCER RESEARCH
Worldwide Cancer Research focuses on funding discovery research, the critical first stage of the research journey that uncovers knowledge that can lead to new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. Bright ideas come from anywhere, which is why they fund projects anywhere in the world. And they fund research into any type of cancer, because there are over 200 types that all need different cures.
Since 1979, Worldwide Cancer Research has invested over £200 million in more than 2,000 research projects in 35 countries worldwide, leading to some remarkable breakthroughs. But with cancer rates increasing, and global discovery research funding decreasing, it is imperative to push forward faster and fund more new projects every year.
This simply won't be possible without the continued support of incredible community of Curestarters - people who turn their compassion into action by supporting Worldwide Cancer Research's work - for themselves, for their loved ones, and for the millions of people around the world affected by cancer. Becoming a Curestarter is a positive way to be part of something bigger and to contribute to vital research that will save lives.
Many of you have already become Curestarters by supporting the previous "Sixth Guardian Health" bundle. We invite you to support "Sixth Guardian Hope" and recruit others to become Curestarters to help fund visionary, game-changing research around the world, and take us one step closer to a day when no life is cut short by cancer.

WHAT RESEARCH WILL YOUR DONATIONS SUPPORT?
All net proceeds from your donations will go to Worldwide Cancer Research, with no less than $6 USD per bundle going to the charity.
SMART BOMBS: A NEW APPROACH
Once cancer has spread, or metastasized, it often becomes incurable. A pioneering new team of researchers led by Professor Roberta Tasso at the University of Genoa in Italy have an ambitious plan: to find new ways to deliver drugs directly to hard-to-treat breast cancer tumors. By using nanoparticles that occur naturally in our bodies as 'smart bombs', the team hope to be able to knock out tumors even after cancer has spread.
A MESSAGE FROM THE RESEARCHER
"I am truly delighted and honored that my project has been selected for the fundraising campaign in partnership with Ubisoft and the Rainbow Six Siege community.
This project, while challenging, offers great potential to advance cancer treatment, and it is thanks to your support that we are able to push boundaries in such a high-impact area of research. We are incredibly grateful for your belief in our work, which we hope will have a tangible impact on cancer therapy in the future."
-Professor Roberta Tasso
Together, the Siege community has already raised nearly $100k USD for Worldwide Cancer Research by supporting the "Sixth Guardian Health" bundle for Twitch. Let's continue to push past that and help our partners support ground-breaking efforts in breast cancer research.

A MESSAGE FROM WORLDWIDE CANCER RESEARCH
Years of collaborative and pioneering research have led to incredible breakthroughs in how we prevent, diagnose, and treat cancer. But it is still one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and too many people still have to say goodbye to a loved one too soon. In 2022 there were an estimated 9.7 million deaths worldwide from cancer, and currently, this number is predicted to almost double by 2050.
But cutting-edge science gives us hope for the future. By funding more discovery research into any type of cancer, anywhere in the world, Worldwide Cancer Research believes that we can be ready to face the cancer challenges of tomorrow.
"Our vision is to see a day when no life is cut short by cancer. For me, this sums up what most of us fear about cancer. The fear of losing time or a life that we really should have had. This includes the way cancer turns lives completely upside down."
- Dr Helen Rippon, Worldwide Cancer Research Chief Executive
ABOUT THE SIXTH GUARDIAN PROGRAM
Since the program's launch in 2020, together with our community, we have raised over $600,000 USD! We'd like to extend our thanks once again to our past Sixth Guardian Partners: AbleGamers, Stack Up, Indspire, ILGA World, Ecologi and Worldwide Cancer Research.
Together with our partners, we hope to unite the Rainbow Six Siege community and make positive changes outside of our game.
