Rainbow Six Siege’s next big expansion ‘Operation Red Crow’ will release on PS4, Xbox One and PC next Thursday, November 17, Ubisoft has announced.
The update will introduce one new free multiplayer map, ‘Skyscraper’, that towers over the streets of Nagoya, Japan, plus two new Operators – Hibana and Echo. As usual, the operators will be available exclusively to Season Pass holders for 7 days before becoming available to unlock to all other players, either via Renown or R6 Credits.

“Hibana is an expert at gaining entry in high risk areas thanks to her explosive leadership on the field,” says Ubisoft. “She is equipped with the SuperNova and Type-89 as primary weapons, allowing for rapid movement and providing precise room-to-room clearings.
Echo, a tactical and technology-driven Operator, is also equipped with the SuperNova, along with the MP5SD4 as primary weapons, allowing him to proceed rapidly and precisely in Close Quarter Battle contexts.”
Ubisoft says that the first live demo of Operation Red Crow will be revealed during a livestream of the Rainbow Six Pro League Season 3 Finals this Sunday, November 13.
