Rainbow Siege X Announced, Operation Prep Phase Revealed
[summaraize]
Ubisoft is about to unveil a “new era” of Rainbow Six Siege next month, as the company announced the Siege X Showcase set for March 13.
According to Ubisoft, this will feature “the biggest transformation in the game’s history, including new tactical gameplay, graphical and audio upgrades, and more.”
Rainbow Six Siege X Event Set for March
Ubisoft will stream it live on Mach 13 at 10 am PT/1 pm ET via the Rainbow Six Siege Twitch channel. The event will feature the “evolution” of the game, though it won’t be a sequel. Expect the reveal to be three hours long (nope, not joking).
During today’s Six Invitational, Ubisoft confirmed that this is not a sequel to Rainbow Six Siege, but a “major evolution.” Per Ubisoft, “We’re expanding and reinforcing the very foundation of Siege to ensure it remains the pinnacle of tactical PvP first-person shooters.”
Major graphical and audio upgrades are planned, as well as a refined game feel and “new ways to enjoy the game, all while staying true to what makes the core of Siege so special.”
That’s not only that got announced today, as Operation Prep Phase has also been unveiled today. The Year 10 content will bring a new Operator named Rauora (Attacker), and feature a new gadget in her D.O.M. Launcher.
Rainbow Six Siege Operation Prep Phase Brings a New Attacker
Rauroa’s Loadout and New Secondary Weapon:
Rauora hails from New Zealand and brings a powerful pair of primary weapons into the fray: the 417 designated marksman rifle or the M249 light machinegun. As her secondary weapon, she packs the GSH-18 9mm pistol or the new Reaper MK2 machine pistol. The Reaper is equipped with a red dot sight and an extended magazine, making Rauora very dangerous indeed in close quarters combat. Smoke grenades or breach charges round out her kit.
The D.O.M. Launcher
Rauora’s gadget is the Deployable Omnilink Mesh (D.O.M.) Launcher, a bulletproof smart cover system that deploys exclusively in doorways. When Rauora takes aim at a doorway, an on-screen icon indicates when she has a valid target and can fire the gadget. Once the projectile reaches the door, it attaches and deploys a bulletproof panel that reaches all the way to the ground. This is unusual for Siege as there is usually room for drones to pass underneath barricades, but the smart cover panel can sense when a drone is nearby; it will then lift the panel slightly and allowing the drone to pass through before fully closing once more.
Once released, the new season will bring gameplay changes, a new Battle Pass, and more. Once we know more about R6 Siege X, we’ll be sure to let our readers know.
