Shortly after the conclusion of the Six Invitational 2024, Ubisoft deployed Operation Deadly Omen — the first of four seasons expected to be released during Year 9.
During Operation Deadly Omen, Ubisoft brought new updates to the game including changes to different operators, the resurgence of the ACOGs, and a new operator called Deimos.
Operation New Blood followed Operation Deadly Omen as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege's second season for Year 9. However, as we approach the final weeks of July, players are already looking forward the game's new chapter.
