What Time Does The New Rainbow Six Siege Season Release?

A brand-new season of Rainbow Six Siege is once again on the horizon, as Ubisoft gears up to release the Year 9 Season 2 update ‘Operation New Blood’ tomorrow.

The upcoming season of Rainbow Six Siege is set to be slightly different from its recent ones, as the update will be mainly focused on reworking the game’s recruit operator. From tomorrow, Siege will be splitting the recruit class into two new operators: Striker and Sentry. The new season will also include some balancing changes, new playlist updates, bug fixes, and the controversial membership subscription.

While the initial download size will be massive, Activision has confirmed it will be lowered at launch.

Year 9 Season 2 is already proving to be a decisive new content update, with fans not only disappointed with the new membership system but also the heavy focus on the recruit rework. The former of which allows players to pay a monthly subscription service to receive a time-limited Legendary item, an Epic operator bundle, full access to the premium Battle Pass, 10x Battle levels, and a Bravo pack totaling over 4,500 credits of value monthly.

As for the upcoming recruit rework, fans have stated that while they are not completely against the concept, they believe it should not be the major focus of a whole new season.
