Rainbow Six: Siege dà l'inizio al 2017 con un bang mentre il suo secondo anno di contenuto comincerà domani con il rilascio di Operation Velvet Shell e la patch del gioco 2.1.0. Ubisoft ha già rilasciato le note ufficiali per questa patch, che include nuovi operatori, una nuova mappa e un sacco di bug fix addizionali. Abbiamo tutti i dettagli sulla patch e quando i server verranno staccati per la manutenzione di domani. Il Six Invitational di Rainbow Six: Siege ha avuto un enorme successo durante questo fine settimana, e i giocatori hanno pure avuto la chance di provare il gioco gratuitamente durante la finesettimana. Ha introdotto bene Operation Velvet Shell, che introduce Jackal e Mira (i due nuovi operatori), una nuova mappa, 'Coastline' (che è ambientata nella costa di Ibiza, in Spagna), quattro nuove skin per armi, e un set Elite che mostra nuovi pezzi di armatura e un'animazione di vittoria.

Ecco quando i server saranno staccati su ogni rispettiva piattaforma:

• PS4: 9-10 a.m. ET / 6-7 a.m. PT / 2-3 p.m. GMT
• Xbox One: 10-11 a.m. EST / 7-8 a.m. PT / 3-4 p.m. GMT
