Ubisoft has unveiled a collaboration with Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio to release some Yakuza themed skins for Rainbow Six Siege.

The Yakuza bundle will be available from May 24 and include new cosmetic sets for operators Echo and Hibana. These outfits will transform them into series mainstay Kazuma Kiryu and Yakuza 2‘s Kaoru Sayama, respectively. The trailer also teases a third silhouette with looks to be Goro Majima, but is keeping details on when he’ll appear under wraps for now.

The announcement of the pack came amidst a bunch of reveals for the latest season of Rainbow Six Siege. The shooter is now in the second season of its seventh year, which will kick off proper on June 7. Operation Victor Glare will introduce the latest Operator to the game: Belgium’s own Sens.

Sens’ shtick is that he’s got a special projector system that can create opaque light walls. These will block the defender’s vision, making it much harder to see the attacking team’s assault. He’s also packing a new POF-9 Assault Rifle, which you’ll be able to try on the new Shooting Range being added to the game in this update. The range also forms the basis of this season’s new map: Close Quarter.

You can check out trailers for both Sens and the new Rainbow Six Siege & Yakuza crossover below. The latter arrives on May 24, while Operation Victor Glare will launch on the test server on PC on the same day. It’ll then have a full launch on all formats in Rainbow Six Siege on June 7.
