After the usual bout of early leaks, Ubisoft is starting to lift the official veil on Rainbow Six Siege Year 6 Season 2. Officially titled North Star, the operation was confirmed with a teaser image today, and given the usual reveal pattern, we should know a lot more about the new season by the end of the week.
The new teaser image features a helicopter flying over a frosty-looking forest with the caption "if you ever need help, just look up." The design of the chopper appears to match the colour scheme used by real-world air-sea rescue helicopters in Canada. As Ubisoft revealed earlier this year, we're getting a new Rainbow Six Siege operator who is from the Nakoda Nations - an Indigenous people based in western Canada (and the US, originally, too) - coming.
Siege is always a leaky ship, and word from leakers suggest that the new op will be a three-speed defender codenamed Thunderbird, equipped by default with a Spear .308 or SPAS-15, a Q-929 or Bearing-9, and an impact grenade or C4.
