"Due to the current developments in COVID-19, the Rainbow Six Siege development team will work from home for safety and health reasons.
However, while the daily gaming experience doesn't change, we expect minor patches to be suspended first. However, this does not affect the new content of the upcoming update. Nevertheless, the current situation could have an impact on future content. We will inform you as soon as content is delayed.
We thank you for your patience and understanding. We hope that you are all healthy and safe during these difficult times. "

This is NOT the end of Rainbow Six: Siege!
Only appeared on March 11, 2020 the first season of year 5 for the PvP shooter. Operation Void Edge is characterized by the new operators Iana and Oryx, as well as the map rework from Oregon. However, Ubisoft also changed some details on the gameplay mechanics such as the spawn of the drones and the calculation of debris.
On March 16, the developer also published an internal interview on the shooter's other plans. Creative Director Lery Athanassoff sees the fifth year of the series as one "Year of Change" and in preparation for the content of year 6.
You want to focus on gameplay aspects that have not been touched since the release of the shooter in 2015. So you want to promote innovation and above all develop completely new skills. The skills of many operators are currently similar and defenders' abilities are often simply made available to attackers and vice versa.
