As it continues to receive ongoing support years after release, the core team working on Rainbow Six Siege has moved on to start working on new Ubisoft projects, with a new crew stepping in to take the torch. Siege Creative Director Xavier Marquis, Brand Director Alexandre Remy, and other members of the main R6 team will be moving to other projects within Ubisoft, with the new R6 team being led by Game Director Leroy Athanassoff.
Ubisoft issued a video earlier on December 18, 2019, explaining the shift. Senior Community Developer Craig Robinson noted:

 Xavier Marquis, Alexandre Remy, and a few other members of the core team will be leaving Rainbow Six Siege to pursue other interests within Ubisoft. Over the past few months, they?ve been working with veterans of the production team like our Game Director Leroy Athanassoff to carry on their vision that they?ve had since day one.

Later on in the video, Remy assures the community the game is in good hands with the new crew by saying:

We are under the impression that we are transmitting a legacy to these people. We could not have hoped for a better outcome. I think it is awesome, and I am looking forward to being able to look at Rainbow [Six Siege] with the eyes of a fan and nothing else.
