While usually a hellish day crammed with firms toying with hearts, April Fools has some perks, like this week’s Rainbow Is Magic occasion in Rainbow Six Siege. Ubisoft have given the Plane map within the gritty tactical squad-shooter a Lisa Frank makeover. Hot pink unicorn and butterfly-themed operators and a handful of onerous plastic toy troopers struggle for management of the VIP (Very Important Plushie), as you do. This occasion runs for a complete week, up till April eighth, and there’s a set of sizzling pink-with-sparkles gear to completely earn. Below, a trailer for this gleeful nonsense.
Sadly this occasion is restricted to a particular playlist with one map and a subset of playable operators, however they’ve clearly put in quite a lot of effort and time into making the aesthetic constant. The almost-but-not-quite copyright infringing glowing pony illustrations on the within of the aircraft are particularly good. Four operators – Blackbeard, Montagne, Smoke and Tachanka – get the complete magical unicorn get-up. Ash, Thermite, Thatcher, Sledge, Castle, Kapkan, Bandit, Frost, and Recruit have been was plastic troopers to fill out the roster a bit.
As an apart, it’s good to see Ubisoft’s Steam announcement page for the event referring to Tachanka by his correct title: Lord.
In different foolish occasion information, medieval stable-mate For Honor has been invaded by the Rabbids, Ubisoft France’s obnoxious, screaming (however oddly likeable) mascots. For at some point solely, however it’s good for fun. The grunt troopers have been changed with screaming cartoon lagomorphs which might be amusingly changed with roast rooster once they die. There’s some antics occurring within the menu screens, too.
There remains to be time to face off towards the Rabbid invasion. Grab your weapon and get in-game now. ⚔️
