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?
While the operator has yet to be confirmed, Ubisoft already confirmed their nationality: American.
This hint considerably reduces the number of operators to be considered to only eight names: Thermite, Pulse, Valkyrie, Blackbeard, Maverick, Warden, Zero, and Deimos.
However, two more hints could have been released in today's announcement. Firstly, Blackbeard's shield features in the animation included in Rainbow Six Siege's Operation Collision Point post on X.
Secondly, Blackbeard's MK17 C1B Assault Rifle is heard in Ubisoft's YouTube Reveal Panel video, right before the reworked operator makes a first public appearance.
Therefore, although it's not official yet, we expect Blackbeard to be Operation Collision Point's reworked operator.
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.
