Ubisoft is pleased to announce today that the first expansion pack of Rainbow Six Siege, Operation Black Ice, is now available for download free of charge.
The Operation Black Ice expansion features a new map called “Yacht” and two new operators: Buck and Frost. These two new operators are Canadian special operatives fighting men and will be available for everyone to unlock through gameplay on February 9. Those who have the Season Pass will get it today.
As part of the ongoing commitment to provide new content on a regular basis for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, the Operation Black Ice content pack includes the new Yacht map, two new operators, Frost and Buck, from the elite Canadian special operations JTF 2 force, and new weapon skins. Additionally, the Spectator Camera feature will be available online for all platforms in custom games.
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege post launch philosophy is to avoid any split in the community, consequently all gameplay elements will be available with no additional costs. Maps and modes will be free and available immediately for everyone. New operators and most weapon skins can be unlocked with earned currency, called Renown, or with R6 Credits.
Rainbow Six Siege is now available for PS4, PC, and Xbox One. For more information, here’s our review of the game.
