Ubisoft is soon slated to deploy Operation Burnt Horizon, its next major update headed to Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. Following two weeks of pre-release testing, the new Australian season is set to make a public debut on March 6, with new playable Operators, a new map, and more.
Rainbow Six Siege Burnt Horizon is shaping up as a promising new expansion, packing new Aussie Operators, Mozzie and Gridlock. Packing underfoot traps and drone-hacking gadgets, they're a dangerous duo to shake up encounters. And with an accompanying new multiplayer map "Outback," expect fresh new clashes through a weathered service station.
