Rainbow Six Siege’s last update revealed as Operation White Noise

Rainbow Six Siege has gone from strength to strength and with a third-year plan involving bioterrorism (read: probably zombies), it doesn’t seem to be slowing down. The last seasonal update for 2017 is called Operation White Noise and involves siblings, phone hacking and a brand new map.

This final update for 2017 sees Team Rainbow going to Korea, with three new operators joining the roster.

The new map is Mok Myeok Tower, a high-tech communications tower that’s very reminiscent of the first Die Hard. With big open spaces as well as enclosed offices, it offers a nice mix of shooting opportunities. There’s also no external areas, save for the spawn points on top. Every member of the attacking team will need to rappel down and make a grand entrance through the windows.

Mok Myeok Tower also offers significantly more verticality than previous maps, spread over three floors.

Obviously, the other important aspect of Operation White Noise is the operators. There are three new ones, two attackers and a defender.

Zofia, big sister of Ela, is the first attacker and comes packed with a monster of a grenade launcher. More accurately described as a cannon, it can fire breaching rounds as well as bouncing stun grenades. Paired with fairly average stats and a 150-round LMG, she’s not exactly interested in sneaking around.

Her final ability also allows her to revive herself if downed, albeit with 1 hp. Still, it should make Zofia a potent attacker for any team, especially if you’re unable to finish her off.

Next up is Vigil, the first Korean operator in Rainbow Six Siege. Vigil is a high-speed, low-armour defender that specialises in stealth and hacking. He essentially has an invisibility cloak for drones, a cooldown-based ability that allows him to remove himself from their vision. While the cloak can be shorted out by Thatcher EMP’s or Twitch’s drone, it’s a powerful tool for getting into position early on or avoiding drones as you flank.

Vigil has two weapons, either choosing between a sub-machine gun or a shotgun capable of firing slug shells, giving it a fair amount of accuracy.

Lastly is Dokkaebi, the Korean attacker that has an… interesting ability. She has balanced stats, an accurate DMR and similar alternate weapons to Vigil. That’s where the similarities end. You see, with her custom tablet, Dokkaebi is capable of hacking into enemy operators phones and making them ring. Turns out sneaking around a large, terrorist filled office block is difficult with your phone going off.

Players suffering from an unfortunately timed call can either let it ring out or frantically fumble to turn it off. Dokkaebi can also grab dead enemy’s phones and use it to view the entire enemy camera network, including Valkyrie cams.

Luckily for Echo players, he’s sensible enough to turn his phone off before he goes on a life-threatening mission. Dokkaebi is also highly susceptible to IQ’s scanner, which can pick up her tablet through walls.

Operation White Noise is going live on the Rainbow Six Siege test server on November 20, giving us a fair idea that it’ll be available publically soon.

Updated Domain Fuels Persona 3 Remake Rumors

Recurring Persona 3 remake rumors are exciting and exhausting. A site domain was changed in the same fashion as prior Atlus releases, indicating an announcement is imminent.

The “RE” suffix may refer to a “Reloaded Edition” or “Reload,” possibly referencing the game’s infamous Evoker pistols.

According to Persona Central, recent adjustments to the “P3RE.JP” domain suggest an announcement may be coming soon, likely at the Xbox Games Showcase. The Green Machine has an exclusive arrangement with the console Persona 3 and Persona 4 remasters, so we could see it there.

Your thoughts? This rainbow must include a Persona gold pot, right?

Square Enix looks to be following the Jim Ryan Marketing Playbook by bombarding fans with Final Fantasy XVI gameplay.

Despite respectfully asking a halt to things pre-PlayStation Showcase, we’ve had the Liquid Flame Boss fight trailer in the week since, and now this newest today, courtesy of IGN’s First effort. To clarify, we’ve long been sold on Final Fantasy 16. Squeenix is targeting a new demographic with this release, so we expect the hits to keep coming until launch day (although there’s no guarantee).

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 16 marketing blitz—what’s up? When each trailer is this amazing, quantity becomes quality. Are you media-free or unable to look away?

The Masquerade Bloodlines 2 Publisher Refunds All Physical PS5 PS4 Pre Orders

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, coming to PS5 and PS4, will immediately refund physical preorders and refund digital preorders upon request. Paradox Interactive updated its game development webpage.

“We remain just as dedicated to delivering a great Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines game as we were when we announced, and are looking forward to showing you more in September this year,” the Bloodlines team wrote in a message that refunded preorders.

Many of you pre-ordered Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 a long time ago. We will update the game’s editions and added material as production continues, and we want to give the most value to those who backed us via digital pre-order after all this time.”

Despite being unfinished, Troika’s 2004 roleplaying game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is rated one of the greatest. In the extremely adult World of Darkness, players play a fledgling vampire striving to survive in a politically volatile society with blood-sucking clans as lethal as any military-trained monster hunter (there are many of those, too).

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2—excited?
