Full Reveal Coming Soon

Alongside the announcement of the first Operator coming to Operation Crimson Heist, we also know that Ubisoft are going to give us a full reveal of what’s to come soon!

Mark your calendars, February 21st, 2021, is when everything’s coming.

Expect to see more on what to expect in the coming months then.

New Operator – “The Master Theif”

Flores has been revealed as one of the new Operators coming to Rainbow Six Siege. He will be the 59th Operator on the roster. Starting to get a bit big, right?

What we do know is that he’ll have some sort of explosive drone. With the last season, Neon Dawn, adding Aruni as a Defender… We’re under the assumption that Flores will be an Attacker.

Here’s what a leaker found in November about the “RCE-Ratero”… Could this be Flores’ gadget?

Release Date

This is the big one… When can we expect Operation Crimson Heist to begin. Neon Dawn, the current Rainbow Six Siege season is expected to end in March 2021, so we should expect the next season to begin shortly after, if not immediately.

However, there might be a period of downtime or a delay. There is no confirmation of anything, yet.

We expect this information to be revealed tomorrow in Ubisoft’s presentation.

New Maps?

Last season, we didn’t actually get a new map added to Rainbow Six Siege’s list of loactions. Rather, Ubisoft gave us a Skyscraper Rework that aimed to change up how people play the map.

With this in mind, we’re not actually sure whether we’ll be getting a new location in Operation Crimson Heist, however… We might?

It seems likely that we may get another map getting a rework in an effort to keep the current maps fresh. This would follow the trend of Neon Dawn, Shadow Legacy, Steel Wave, Void Edge… You get the idea.

New Operator Cosmetics

Every season, Ubisoft add a batch of new cosmetics to the in-game store. Last season, Neon Dawn, saw Rainbow Operators get a set of “Lime Green Camo” skins that reflected the Neon Dawn theme.

In addition to this, the Neon Dawn Battle Pass had several cosmetic items for Operators that reflected their “competitive sports”-inspired jumpsuits and armour from the latest cinematics.

Operation Crimson Heist will undoubtedly include it’s own batch of cosmetics, however we won’t know what they will look like just yet. Although… Expect a red theme?
