Back at the Rainbow Six Pro League Season 3 finals in Brazil in November we got a sneak peek of the third year content coming to Rainbow Six: Siege, and now a new post from Ubisoft has given us a teaser of what's coming with Season 1's Operation Chimera and the Outbreak event, along with a new picture too.
Operation Chimera's new operators are all about the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Threat Unit, and these two new characters will join the existing roster, one using a drone to maintain quarantine zones, and the other has something to do with "self-dissolving nanobots." As an interesting aside, Ubisoft also tells us that one hails from France, while the other moved to Russia.
To talk about the limited-time Outbreak event specifically, here's what Ubisoft had to say on that: "Suit up and check your gear because Rainbow Six is tackling an epidemic consuming the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. Choose your best team of three to neutralize the threat. If you don't choose your Operator in time on the Operator Selection screen, your man Recruit will still have your back. As always, he's ready to serve."
This event will be free for anyone who owns the game, and will offer exclusive cosmetic items like headgear, charms, and skins. Specific information wasn't given, but this will all be revealed at the Six Invitational esports tournament in Montreal from February 13 to 18, so be sure to check that out if you're interested.
