A VIP giveaway, including travel and accommodation, is also running for two lucky fans.
What to Expect:
Ubisoft teases "new ways to play, deepened tactical gameplay, refined game feel, and major upgrades." Specific details will be revealed during the March showcase.
10th Anniversary & Season 1: Operation Prep Phase:
Rainbow Six Siege's 10th anniversary is fast approaching. To celebrate, Season 1, "Operation Prep Phase," launches March 4th, 2025, introducing:
- New Operator: Aurora: Capable of deploying bulletproof doors.
- New Elite Skin: For operator Aruni.
