Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege continues to enjoy great popularity thanks to an active e-sports community. Ubisoft is now stepping up and has announced the next big update with “Operation Deadly Omen”.
Rainbow Six: Siege is particularly relevant in the e-sports sector, which is currently evident in Brazil, among other places. The Six Invitational, the largest tournament in the tactical shooter cosmos, is taking place there – and Ubisoft has now used this event to announce the next big add-on to the game, “Operation Deadly Omen”.
The new update is intended to keep players engaged in Rainbow Six: Siege and to delight them with new content and features. In Year 9 Season 1 you will once again get a new operator with Deimos, who has his own skills and will enable new approaches.
With “Operation Deadly Omen” the long-running hit Rainbow Six: Siege is getting its next big update.
There are also some long-awaited and larger changes. Ubisoft has revised the way shields work to make them better for players who want to feel safe behind them. At the same time, there are a few caveats to ensure that they don’t become too powerful over the course of the game. A new Free Look mechanic gives players more control over the field of view.
The ADS mechanics have been revised on a larger scale, which should noticeably change the weapon meta in the game. Further quality of life improvements, accessibility changes and optimized onboarding systems round out the major update. And: Last but not least, the anti-cheat systems have also been updated. Operation Deadly Omen will be released in March.
In addition to the CGI trailer, another video for “Operation Deadly Omen” provides further insights into the big new update for Rainbow Six: Siege.
