Rainbow Six Siege's Halloween event has you fighting to survive the "Doktor's Curse"

By Heidi Nicholas,

The Doktor's Curse event begins today, October 12th, for Rainbow Six Siege, running for the next three weeks and adding the Doktor's Curse Hide and Seek game mode.

"After eons of experiments and torture, the Doktor has left his castle and more creatures have come out to play... The Monsters have new friends, and the Exterminators have returned with monstrous pals of their own," Ubisoft says. "Can they end the terrors that stalk the Castle grounds, or will the fiends' reign continue?"

The Hide and Seek game mode has Defenders working to either survive until the end, or to eliminate all the Attackers. "On the Defenders' side, mutated Operators use their traps to hinder and harm their prey, and they roam the halls of the Castle as Monsters under new management," the devs continue. "On the Attackers' side, the Exterminators have teamed up with survivors of the Castle's horrors and brought in their trusty gadgets, along with their own custom version of Sledge's hammer."

The Doktor's Curse runs from today, October 12th, until November 2nd. What do you think of this year's Halloween event? Let us know in the comments!

Hey, I'm Heidi! I've just finished studying a Masters in English Literature, but I've been obsessed with gaming since long before then. I began on the PS2 with Spyro, before graduating to the Xbox 360 and disappearing into Skyrim. I'm now a loyal RPG fan, but I still like to explore other genres — when I'm not playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey, or being lured back into Red Dead Redemption 2 or The Witcher 3!
