Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1 Demon Veil: All new changes introduced

Rainbow Six Siege is kicking off Year 7 with a blast, as Ubisoft plans to bring some huge additions to this tactical shooter.

The first big addition is the new operator- Azami– who is a defender from Japan. The devs are labelling this operator as a complete ‘meta-changer’, and are expecting the game to change like when Mira was introduced in Operation Velvet Shell.

Alongside the new operator, Ubisoft will be also introducing a brand-new map for the first time in 3 years. The Siege community has been longing for a new map, and they will surely be exhilarated to check out Emerald Plain, a brand-new map which will be releasing sometime during season 1.

Furthermore, the devs are bringing Goyo rework, TDM mode, Match Replay for consoles, and a lot more. Check out all the new changes below:
