Here are the plans for Rainbow Six Siege Year 3
Just before Operation White Noise drops, a slew of Rainbow Six Siege Year 3 content has been announced.
Four seasonal updates are planned, beginning in January 2018. Each update will feature two new operators, while the entire year will see two new maps introduced.
Season 1 has already been named as Operation Chimera and is focused around bioterrorism. With two operators hailing from France and Russia respectively, Operation Chimera will also launch with a timed co-op event called Outbreak. This limited event will be free-to-play and available for four weeks during season 1.
While details are thin on the ground, with Rainbow Six Siege’s love of barricading and destroying said barricades, we assume it’ll be some sort of horde mode. Ubisoft has confirmed that unique event rewards will be available, offering up a collection of customisation options such as gun skins and different character models.
Following that, Season 2 will whisk players to Italy, with a new map and two Italian operators.
Season 3 will introduce a new character from the UK and another addition to the US with a Delta Force operator. Interestingly, Season 3 will also see a current map being pulled from rotation, completely reimagined and then re-introduced. Ubisoft wants to keep the ‘essence of the map the same’ but introduce new gameplay and tactics.
Season 4 will round out the year by landing in Africa. Morocco to be precise. With two new Moroccan operators and a brand new map, Rainbow Six Siege will finally have visited every continent.
Overall, it seems like after Operation Health and Year 2, Rainbow Six Siege Year 3 is looking too refine the competitive slant the game has. It already has huge momentum having just passed 25 million players and we’re sure the player base will be happy that Ubisoft aren’t slowing down any time soon.
According to Ubisoft, the Year 3 Season Pass will be available to purchase on December 12, with more details regarding the updates being revealed at the Rainbow Six Siege esports tournament Six Invitational in February.

Love Is a Long Road, the Tom Petty song in the GTA 6 trailer, saw a 36,979% stream increase after Rockstar’s reveal this week. Week-on-week Spotify data suggests that, but we’re sure it’s trending similarly on Apple Music and others.
Rockstar and the streaming service released an official Grand Theft Auto Radio playlist with six hours of hits from ZZ Top, Dr. Dre, Megadeth, and others. You can hear it here. Ever wanted to listen to Tom Petty this week?
This week’s Game Awards—what to expect? Geoff Keighley is keeping most announcements under wraps, but he has teased an update on Atlus’ long-awaited Metaphor: ReFantazio. The Persona team’s latest project may be released in 2024, according to rumors.
The title returned this summer after being revealed eons ago, but details are scarce. A new trailer should show more story, gameplay, and systems, as well as a possible launch date. Want to see more of this? The link will tell you when the Game Awards are.
If you play video games, you’ve probably played Skyrim, Bethesda’s decade-old open-world RPG. It’s become a meme after endless rereleases. The company wants to sell paid, player-created mods again after not getting the message from players.
Bethesda tested selling Skyrim mods on Steam in 2015, generously giving modders 25% of the proceeds. After Steam’s 30% platform fee, Bethesda would receive 45%, the “current industry standard.”. After fan backlash, Bethesda removed paid mods, and Steam refunded all purchases.
In subsequent years, Bethesda’s Creation Club added user-created content to Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition, requiring that it not violate lore. Bethesda could also release official Creation Club content on PlayStation.
The developer revealed Bethesda Game Studios Creations and a major update for the oldest RPG today. Players can still upload free mods, but creators can now apply for the Verified Creator Program. Certified modders can charge for their work. Since paid moderators no longer have lore-friendly restrictions, expect chaos.
This is already upsetting the community, and the line between official Creation Club content and moderators is blurring. The fact that paid mods disable PlayStation Trophies but not free Creation content is a disaster.
What do you think of Skyrim’s sorry state? Still playing? How’s the PlayStation Creation Club content?
