gamesradar.com:

Ubisoft has outlined more details about the changes coming to Rainbow Six Siege in 2022, which recently surpassed the "80 million player milestone".

As well as yesterday's Year 7 announcements of the first new map in three years, new permanent game modes including Team Deathmatch, and a new Operator, we now also know that  Year 7 Season 2 will introduce a Belgian Operator and another exclusive Team Deathmatch map, this one set in Greece. Season 3’s Operator arrives from Singapore, bringing a new competitive map with them, whilst the final Operator of the year will reportedly hail from Colombia.

From tomorrow until March 21, the limited-time Year Pass and Premium Year pass will be available to buy. The former unlocks four season Battle Passes throughout the year - usually only available separately - and includes 14-day early access to new Operators. The latter offers the same along with a boost of 20 battle pass tiers, the early access to new Operators, "exclusive Exotic weapon skins, VIP credits, and more".

There's also been a concerted effort to tackle cheaters, too.

"Throughout Year 7, the development team will take steps towards addressing specific player behavior to further anti-cheat efforts introduced in Year 6 like the Reputation System," Ubisoft said in a statement. "Season 1 introduces improvements towards detecting griefing and player disconnects. Season 2 tackles players who misuse friendly fire through sanctions restricting reverse friendly fire as well as improving match cancellations."

There are also "several dedicated updates" for console players this year, too, including "aim control personalization, new controller input presets, and field of view settings". A shooting range is also being introduced in
