Although Ubisoft has yet to confirm details for the next expansion on "Rainbow Six: Siege," supposed leaks have already said that the new DLC will have Japanese themes, from its new operators to a new map.
According to PC Gamer, the developer has already revealed that the next DLC for the game will be dubbed as "Operation Red Crow." As with previous expansion packs, the upcoming DLC will also add two new operators in the "Rainbow Six: Siege" roster. The new fighters are reportedly called Echo and Hibana.
Leaked images for the two new operators also supposedly give hints on what their role will be once the DLC is out. Allegedly, Echo is a support-type fighter. However, with what looks like a bomb on his hands, the team member also hints to be a bomb specialist.
Meanwhile, not much is known about Hibana, although her name translates directly to "spark," hinting at some electric-type weaponry and gear. In the supposed leaked image, she also carries what appeared to be an EMP gun. Some observers also believe that instead of heavy weapons expert (like an EMP-type gear), Hibana is likely to be a direct assault operator, with expertise in chemical warfare. The gun in her hand has "liquid-type" cartridges, which hints at the use of chemical agents.
Both operators are part of the Japan Special Forces, although their uniforms are likely to be tweaked as part of in-game bonus content.
Meanwhile, Gamespot reports that part of the supposed leaks also showcase a Japanese-themed structure, hinting that a new map may also be unlocked when "Operation Red Crow" launches. The video footage, highlighting a massive skyscraper, has been taken down since, leading to rumors that the footage may be right on track.
The industry follower also alludes to "Operation Red Crow" as one part of continuous updates for the game, as there may be a season 2 — complete with an all-new season pass — for "Rainbow Six: Siege."
