Running over 4-25 August, the Containment event is “inspired by the upcoming game
Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Extraction,” and will feature a reworked Consulate map, Nest Destruction playlist and more.
Nest Destruction will provide a look at
Extraction‘s REACT, the faction that’s heavily featured within the upcoming game. Players will be either playing as REACT agents or as alien shapeshifters who are taking the form of REACT agents (tricky, tricky!). The shapeshifters Defenders will only be able to use melee attacks.
The Containment event will offer up 33 unique items including weapon skins and uniforms.
Rainbow Six Siege is currently available on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4, PS5, Stadia and Luna.
But not PC.
Rainbow Six Siege cross-play and cross-progression between consoles is still on the cards, but it looks like PC won’t be folded in to the mix.
The news comes from a recent interview with PC Gamer, in which Game Director Jean-Baptiste Halle provided an update on the features.
“We’re actively working on cross-progression and cross-play,” Halle told the outlet. “Within the realm of consoles, I think it would be great if PlayStation and Xbox could play together.”
Siege already supports cross-play between Xbox One and Xbox Series S & X and PS4 and PS5, but the next level of the feature would place Xbox and PlayStation players with one another.
There are a few certainties in life; death, taxes and new seasons of
Operation Crimson Heist is set to be the first operation of the sixth year of the ever-popular tactical shooter’s life, bringing with it a new operator called Flores. It feels like just a few weeks ago that we checked out the last operator to grace the
Siege roster, Aruni, but here we are once again. Time moves weird in a pandemic.
Santiago ‘Flores’ Lucero isn’t only the first new operator of the year – he brings with him a few other firsts as well. Our new friend Flores is both the first Argentinian operator and the first openly gay operator too.
