Two months after the release of Operation Twin Shells, the third season of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege's Year 9, the community is already looking forward to knowing more information about Year 9 Season 4.
So far, Year 9 has been one of the greatest in terms of balancing and player protection updates. While the number of cheaters in the game has been reduced, according to Ubisoft's Player Protection report for October, the release of new game modes like the Siege Cup and the arrival of unique operators like Skópos have brought a lot of variety while also improving the players' overall experience.
The next season of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege will be Operation Collision Point. The game's upcoming season will be the fourth operation of Year 9 after Operation Deadly Omen, Operation New Blood, and Operation Twin Shells.
But, what do we know about Operation Collision Point, when will it be fully revealed, and, most importantly, when will it be released?
Keep on reading to know more about Rainbow Six Siege's Year 9 Season 4, Operation Collision Point!
When will Ubisoft announce Operation Collision Point?
The next season of Rainbow Six Siege will be unveiled on November 17 at 7 PM UTC. All of the details regarding the upcoming season of Rainbow Six Siege will be revealed during the BLAST R6 Major Montreal grand finals.
When will Operation Collision Point be released?
The next season of Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege, Operation Collision Point, should be deployed sometime during the first week of December.
There are two reasons why we think Operation Collision Point will be released then. Firstly, Ubisoft usually takes two weeks from the official operation reveal to release the season. Therefore, if Year 9 Season 4 is unveiled on November 17, it makes sense to think the final operation of the year will be launched in December.
The second reason is Operation Twin Shells' battle pass' conclusion date. According to Ubisoft's official website, Operation Twin Shells' battle pass will end on December 2. Usually, the new season is deployed one day after the conclusion of the battle pass: in other words, Year 9 Season 4 could be deployed on December 4.
In conclusion, to play it safe, we should expect Operation Collision Point to be released somewhen the first week of December.
What is coming to Rainbow Six Siege in Operation Collision Point?
Operation Collision Point will bring multiple new features and a reworked operator to Rainbow Six Siege.
