Earlier today, Rainbow Six Siege's official X account unveiled the operation name for Year 9 Season 4.
The upcoming season of Rainbow Six Siege will be the final straw to the game's Year 9. It will be the fourth season of the year, which also saw the arrivals of Operation Deadly Omen, Operation New Blood, and Operation Twin Shells.
However, let's stop talking about the past and let's look at the future. It's time to welcome Operation Collision Point!
Operation Collision Point
Operation Collision Point is the name for Rainbow Six Siege's Year 9 Season 4. It will introduce multiple brand-new features to the game, including operator balancing changes, the full release of the Siege Cup, and even an operator rework.
What operator will be reworked in Operation Collision Point?
Ubisoft will release a Blackbeard rework in Operation Collision Point, as seen in the operator's CGI trailer released on November 15.
With this change, Blackbeard's shield seems to have been completely changed as it's not a rifle shield anymore but a ballistic shield. Therefore, Blackbeard will be the fourth Rainbow Six Siege attacker to have a ballistic shield, alongside Montagne, Blitz, and Fuze.
Unfortunately for Blackbeard, the new version of the American is coming in the same season where Ubisoft will implement a shield nerf.
Operation Collision Point will bring more features to Rainbow Six Siege, including:
- Balancing changes to Sens, Ying, and Thunderbird
- Siege Cup Beta full release
- Console to PC crossplay 1.0
- Match cancellation 3.0
- Badges and career
- Player protection updates
- Reputation system refresh
When will Operation Collision Point be revealed?
Operation Collision Point will be revealed on November 17 at 7 PM UTC during the BLAST R6 Major Montreal grand finals.
Rainbow Six Siege fans can follow all of the tournament's action on the official Twitch channel, which will also display the Operation Collision Point reveal. The Reveal Panel will also be streamed on YouTube.
