I expect opera music.

Rainbow Six: Siege’s next update brings a new map and operator draft

Ubisoft is preparing the next season of content for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege. The tactical team shooter is in its Year Three content, and it is one of the most popular games in the world, with 30 million players. The publisher posted a blog today with some details about what Y3: Season Two will look like. As expected, it will include two new operators (Siege’s equivalent of a hero character), but Ubisoft is also promising the most balanced map yet as well as a number of tweaks and gameplay improvements.

The updates will introduce a new gadget for collecting information about your opponents, an overhual to the Clubhouse map, and the Pick & Ban system. Siege’s operatives work like heroes in Overwatch or battle arenas like Dota 2, but it has never had an operator draft. This is something fans have wanted because some of the characters demand hard counters. By having picking and banning, teams have a better chance of preparing an assault or defense if they don’t have to worry about countering Fuze’s wild grenades.
