Rainbow Six Siege creative director Alexander Karpazis is stepping down from his role on the game. Ubisoft announced in a blog post that Karpazis is giving up the role he's held since January 2022, with Ubisoft veteran Joshua Mills taking over in that role.

Karpazis had worked on Siege for eight years and was previously the game's art director before rising to become the overall creative director.

"I cannot put into words the number of ways this game has impacted my life; the incredible team that I have been a part of, the work we have achieved together, the adventures I have gone on, and the people I have met along the way have had a profound effect on me and have enriched my life season after season," Karpazis said. "It has been an honor spending half my professional career working on Siege."

Getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame is an impossible dream for most professional players, but that journey will be part of a new addition to MLB The Show 26. This year, the game will let players track their character through college and into the Major Leagues. And if they finish Road To The Show: Road to Cooperstown, then a spot in the Hall of Fame awaits.

The number of the college teams is increasing this year from 11 to 19, with University of Arkansas, University of Florida, Stanford University, and University of Michigan among the schools lending their names, logos, and roster to the game. MLB The Show 26 is also adding the College World Series format and bracket.

Diamond Dynasty is back the game as well, with the World Baseball Classic. Through this mode, baseball goes international with stops in the Tokyo Dome and Estadio Hiram Bithorn. Over 500 new gameplay animations have been added, as well as new hitting and pitching interfaces. Fresh rewards and challenges will also be offered through the game's live-service updates.
