Rainbow Six Siege’s Seventh Year Promises New Maps, Cross Play, and Less Toxicity
Ubisoft has revealed the content roadmap for Rainbow Six Siege’s seventh year. As usual it includes four new operators, but 2022 will see the addition of three new maps, the much-requested cross-play and cross-progression, and a variety of new improvements to Siege’s player behaviour systems.

Azami, a Japanese defender, has already been fully detailed, but the remaining three have only been teased. Season two will add a new Belgian operator, season three will introduce an operator from Singapore, and the final operator landing in season four will hail from Colombia.
Mid-way through season one we’ll see a new competitive map in the form of the Ireland-set Emerald Plains. Season three will also add a new competitive map. A third new map will also be available, arriving in season two, however this Greece-set map will be exclusively for the new Team Deathmatch game mode, and not available for traditional competitive Siege matches.
Alongside this, a new shooting range will be added during season two, which will provide a place to test guns and practice weapons drills. A series of ‘operator tips’ will also be added, in an effort to better explain to new players how Siege’s many unique characters work. In season three, Ranked 2.0 - an overhauled version of Siege’s ranked competitive mode - will be introduced.
