Rainbow Six Siege Year 4 adds operators from Peru, Mexico, Kenya, and India, may be getting Danish operators

  • 7

As hinted yesterday, Year 4 Season 2 will add the first Rainbow Six Siege Danish operator, as well as another operator from the United States Secret Service. Instead of a new map, Y4S2 will rework Kafe.

During a scene in the cinematic in which Dokkaebi and Thatcher are having a dispute about tactics you can clearly see a Danish flag in the background of the shot. The reason it’s caught the fascination of fans, however, is that the Danish Flag is draped over a locker in Team Rainbow’s Hereford base of operations.

The locker with the Danish flag over it is sat directly beneath a banner with the attacking team’s logo on it, suggesting that this is the armory locker of a potential Danish attacker. If you look on the left side of the same screen you’ll spot an empty armory cage with a old longbow and quiver outside it, which may allude to the gadget, kit, or heritage of a second new Rainbow Six Siege operator.

The details are quite easy to spot and given the quality of the CGI it seems unlikely that these are inconsequential.

Year 4 Season 3 will add an operator from Peru and an operator from Mexico, while reworking the Kanal map. Our best guess is that this operation will revolve around anti-cartel special forces, so it’s odd that we won’t see a fresh map set in South America.

Finally, the Year 4 Season 4 lineup consists of Kenyan and Indian operators which is an unexpected mashup and frankly leaves us a little baffled as to what the overarching theme of this operation will be. Yet again, there will be no new map for Year 4 Season 4, and instead we’ll be getting a rework of the Theme Park map.

In addition to all of this there will also be operator reworks for Lion, Glaz, Capitão, and Dokkaebi. Release dates for all of these reworks aren’t in place, but we do know that the Lion rework is scheduled for the first half of Year 4. To make up for the lack of map reworks there will also be a mid-season events, which presumably will be similar to events like the Halloween House event.

Ubisoft has also announced that they are creating dedicated teams for addressing issues with game such as player behaviour, balancing, and narrative. So, while many people were expecting to see a Operation Health 2, it looks like Ubisoft hope to deliver key fixes without breaking the content flow.
