Ubisoft Montreal has officially launched Rainbow Six Siege’s first season of Year 5. Operation: Void Edge, which is available to download now on all platforms, not only brings two exciting new operators, but also a small selection of seemingly innocuous, but very important, gameplay tweaks.
New Attacker Iana is a Norwegian tech specialist who is taking time out from her literal galactic duties for a bit of down-to-earth head-popping. This new 2 Speed 2 Armour agent is equipped with a fully controllable hologram replication of herself, which can be sent dashing into danger for some full-body recon work. Stay away from electricity, jammers or bullets, however, or Iana’s holo-self will be quickly dispatched.
At the other end of the spectrum, Jordanian Defender Oryx is less about the scalpel-precision technology and all about the brute force. This 2 Speed 2 Armour operator uses his overwhelming physical strength to simply burst through soft walls and barricades, arriving to every party with a bang. If that wasn’t enough, Oryx can even leap vertically through open hatchways, perfectly encapsulating how sometimes the best defence is a good offence.
