I think I’m turning Japanese. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is now more popular a year after its release than it was at launch. Games usually face the opposite issue where players lose interest after some time.
Rainbow Six Siege has been helped by the immense post launch support the game developers have thrown at it. Not just launching DLC every 3 months, but gameplay fixes, enhancements and lots more. Just check out the Season 3 Review to see the last major changes.Haven’t played Rainbow Six Siege? It’s free to play this weekend on PlayStation 4 and PC!Following previous expansions Black Ice, Dust Line and Skull Rain, Operation Red Crow is the fourth major update for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege. In line with the studio’s commitment to provide new post-launch content for the game and complete the Year One road map, this content update introduces a free new map and new gameplay features. Once again two new Operators will be available for Season Pass holders on November 17th and for all players on November 24th.As per usual, the new DLC comes with 2 new operators, 1 new map and no doubt a host of gameplay improvements and operator tweaks/balances.
