Frost traps to receive rework in Year 8 of Siege
Rainbow Six Siege is set to enter its eighth year in a few months, and developer Ubisoft has laid out plans for the game’s future in a recent blog post. The game will continue to receive new content and updates until at least 2023, with Year 8 being particularly focused on reworking existing features and quality-of-life improvements.
Frost, one of the game’s original operators, will be getting a complete rework in Year 8. Her gadget, the Thurster Charge, will be replaced with a new Unknown Device that can be used to hack electronic gadgets. This is a significant change that should make her much more viable in a wider range of situations.
Ubisoft is also planning to make a number of changes to the game’s overall mechanics. Riot shields, which have been a controversial topic since the game’s release, will be getting a major overhaul. The changes are designed to make them more balanced and fair, while still keeping them as an important strategic tool.
In addition, Ubisoft is planning to make a number of changes to the new player experience. The goal is to make the game more accessible to newcomers and help them catch up to the game’s existing player base. These changes include a new tutorial system and a revamped progression system that will give players a better sense of their progress.
Overall, it sounds like Ubisoft has a solid plan for Rainbow Six Siege’s future. The game has been incredibly successful since its release, and it shows no signs of slowing down. With a strong focus on quality-of-life improvements and new content, it seems like the game will be in good hands for years to come.
