Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege Gets Update
Operation Red Crow, the final add-on content for the first season of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege includes the new Skyscraper map, two new operators from Japan’s Special Assault Team, Hibana and Echo, as well as new weapon skins and features. The Elite sets, a new customisation series, will be available for the first time with the release of Operation Red Crow. Each set will include a matching uniform and headgear, an operator card, a charm, an operator name and a signature victory animation. The first Operators to receive the honors are Kapkan, Sledge and Thermite.
Season Pass owners will benefit from seven days of exclusive access to these new operators, while all other players will be able to unlock them after the exclusive period with earned Renown or R6 Credits. The release of a second year of post-launch content was also announced, with a similar structure as the first year. This brand-new free content will include major updates, new operators, maps, modes, features and improvements. New maps and modes will be free and available immediately to all players. New operators and most weapon skins can be unlocked with Renown or R6 Credits. This second year of content will kick off in February with the Six Invitational, an event dedicated to fans, including Pro League matches and exclusive gameplay, with more to be announced soon.
Inspired by real-world counter-terrorist organizations, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege puts players in the middle of lethal close-quarter confrontations. For the first time in a Rainbow Six game, players will engage in sieges, a new style of assault where enemies have the means to transform their environments into modern strongholds while Rainbow Six teams lead the assault to breach the enemy’s position. The game gives players unprecedented control over their ability to fortify their position by reinforcing walls and floors, using barbed wire and deployable shields, laying mines and more, or to breach the enemies’ position using observation drones, setting charges, rappelling and more. The fast pace and uniqueness of each siege sets a new bar for intense firefights, strategic gameplay and competitive gaming.
