Rainbow Six Siege’s third yr will introduce eight operators and a co-op occasion

Slick tactical shooter Rainbow Six Siege will quickly enter its third yr, and which means updates. New maps and a “map makeover” were announced by Ubisoft Montreal on the Pro League Finals in Brazil on the weekend, plus two new operators specialising in “biohazard situations”.

The operators are part of Year three’s first season, Operation Chimera, and will likely be out there in customary matches. But for 4 weeks they’ll even be a part of Siege’s first ever co-op occasion, Outbreak. This occasion will likely be free to Siege gamers, says Ubi, and can embrace an “exclusive collection of cosmetics”. Later within the yr, there’ll be maps set in Italy and Morocco, together with six different operators – two for every season. So far that is all simply being teased, however a full reveal is deliberate for subsequent yr.

In the meantime, Year 2 continues, with the ultimate huge replace, Operation White Noise, which hits the check servers right this moment. It’s heading to South Korea with a brand new tower map and three new operators. You can see them in motion under.

Out of the three operators, Dokkaebi is clearly the very best. When she’s not assaulting the enemy along with her Mk 14 EBR Marksman Rifle and the BOSG.12.2 shotgun, she’s hacking their dumb telephones, distracting them and letting the remainder of her staff know their place. She’s joined by sneaky Vigil and heavy-hitting Zofia. Hopefully none of them get vertigo, as a result of that skyscraper they’ll must rappel down is fairly rattling tall.

If you missed the Pro League Finals over the weekend, you’ll be able to nonetheless atone for Twitch.
