Rainbow Six Siege Operation World Edge was released Tuesday introducing new gameplay updates and two new Operators.

The new Operators, Jordanian Defender Oryx and Dutch Attacker Iana, were added for Operation Void Edge giving players two new characters to choose from. "Iana is all about deception and reconnaissance, thanks to her Gemini Replicator. This gadget allows Iana to deploy a fully controllable holographic copy of herself," Ubisoft said in a news release.

"Oryx, the new Defender, utilizes speed, agility, and sheer destruction to be a powerful roamer. His signature move is the Remah Dash, an ability that gives him a short burst of speed that can be used to cover ground quickly, knock down enemy Operators, or bust through soft walls and wooden barricades."

Void Edge also introduces a reworked Oregon map, a Lara Croft Elite Set for Ash and a multitude of gameplay updates. All of the updates, per Ubisoft's news release, are as follows:

  • Barricade debris consistency: partially breaking a barricade with a weapon or a melee hit will now create much smaller debris.
  • Attacker’s drone spawn: the drone will now always spawn on the same side of the site as the one the player first chose their Operator to spawn from.
  • Player Hub Changes: the Play Section is getting revamped.
  • Lesion and Twitch changes: Lesion will no longer be able to see his Gu Mines through obstructions, and when an opposing Operator steps on a Gu, there will no longer be any initial damage. However, each tick’s damage has been increased from four to six. On Twitch’s side, her Shock Drone will now start with three shots, but it will have a cooldown. Its firing power has also been reduced to one point of damage.
  • Operator price decrease: Mira and Jackal’s prices will now be 10,000 Renown or 240 R6 Credits; Lion and Finka’s are down to 15,000 Renown or 350 R6 Credits; and Mozzie and Gridlock’s costs will decrease to 20,000 Renown or 480 R6 Credits.
  • Void Edge Weapon skins: Three new seasonal weapon skins will be available this season, each with their own unique style: the sleek Saber Carbe, the playful Clog Dance, and the colorful River Scale.
  • Year 5 Pass: The Year 5 pass includes access to six new Year 5 Operators and six new exclusive headgears and uniforms for them. Players will also get the same VIP perks as always. Year 4 Pass owners who renew their Pass for Year 5 will also receive 600 R6 Credits, as well as two Legendary and three Epic Alpha Packs.

Rainbow Six Siege Operation Void Edge is now live on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
