Ubisoft has revealed what’s coming in Rainbow Six Siege’s Year 7 Season 1, Demon Veil.
Although there’s no release window detailed just yet, we do know we’ll get a brand new map – the first in three years – as well as a new permanent Team Deathmatch mode and new Japanese Operator, Azami.
“In Demon Veil, uncover the secrets of Azami, an enigmatic new Defender – equipped with the Kiba Barrier gadget, her throwable canisters deploy an expandable material that solidifies into a bulletproof surface, providing fast cover,” Ubisoft teases. “Azami’s gadget allows her to quickly repair holes in walls and floors, creating for a more mobile and versatile defensive approach. Azami is a medium speed, medium health Operator, and her loadout features a 9X19SVN or an ACS12 as a primary weapon and a D-50 as a secondary weapon.”
As for that new map? Called Emerald Plains, it’s set in Ireland, where the “modern country club challenges players to master a new environment and its multiple levels”.
The brand new Team Deathmatch mode – “created to provide the perfect environment for players to warm up and practice their aim before competitive matches” – will also be available with Demon Veil, along with a new Elite skin for Nomad and balancing tweaks for Goyo and Valkyrie. And though a spectator mode has been available for PC players since 2020, one is finally coming to console, too.
