Rainbow Six Siege Y10S1 Reveal Showcases ‘Operation Prep Phase’

It’s that time of year once again. Ubisoft has taken centre stage at the Six Invitational – one of the biggest esports tournaments in the world – to highlight the future of Rainbow Six Siege. It’s the tenth anniversary of the game’s release this year, and huge things are in the pipeline.

As the grand final of the Six Invitational approached, Ubisoft dropped a super-sized trailer that had the audience in Boston expressing their excitement.

Read on to learn everything you need to know about the Rainbow Six Siege Y10S1 update.

Still Getting Better

Joshua Mills, one of the game directors working on Rainbow Six Siege at Ubisoft, got emotional on the stage as the trailer was revealed. It was a serious showcase that featured fan-favourite characters, a momentous soundtrack, and a look back at the history of the Rainbow organisation.

Mills and Alex Karpazis, the creative director of Siege, first explained that anti-cheat measures and protections against malicious operators have been boosted immeasurably ahead of the Rainbow Six Siege Y10S1 update. This includes deeper collaboration with Battleye – a partnership that has seen more than 19,000 cheaters banned from R6S in one month in January.

Fresh Operator

The newest Operator coming to Rainbow Six Siege in Y10S1 is fresh out of the New Zealand SAS. Her name is Rauora and she uses a lightweight cover deployment system that allows her to block doorways in a matter of seconds, opening and closing the doors as she sees fit, moving quickly and disrupting defensive tactics with ease.

It’s called the ‘D.O.M.’ launcher, the ‘Deployable Omnilink Mesh’ launcher. From next week, users will be able to try Rauora out on the test server.
