Year 4 Season 3 of Rainbow Six Siege is almost here! Here's everything you have to know.

The Rainbow Six Siege Ember Rise release date is just around the corner, with the full reveal of the new season due to air at the Six Major Raleigh 2019 and the full launch date expected a few weeks later. Thanks to leaks, rumors, and some official information, we already know a few details about both new operators and the upcoming map rework, but there’s plenty more to discover about Year 4 Season 3.

EMBER RISE ATTACKER:

Amaru is Ember Rise’s female attacking operator. She’s the one who will use the Garra Hook gadget we saw in this week’s teaser. Alongside a grappling hook that “shoots where you aim it and can go through soft surfaces”, Amaru boasts a very interesting weapon setup.

For primary weapons, the new attacker can choose between the G8A1 LMG and the Super Nova shotgun. Her secondary weapons include the SMG-11 and the ITA12S shotgun.

EMBER RISE DEFENDER:

Goyo is the male defending operator who comes equipped with the Volcàn Shield. According to the same leaker, the new defender carries three of these unique deployable shields that have “gas” attached to them.

As for his loadout, Goyo is allegedly a two-speed two-armor operator who uses either Mira’s Vector or Kaid’s TCSG12. When Ubisoft removed the ACOG scope from Smoke’s SMG-11, they claimed that in the future, they want to move away from magnified sights on either one or two-armor defenders. With this in mind, the leak doesn’t seem very authentic, as Goyo’s weapon setup includes an ACOG.

OVERVIEW:

For the second season in a row, Rainbow Six Siege developers have reused pre-existing weapons for the new operators. While this decision upset many players in Operation Phantom Sight, it seems that Ubisoft is now prioritizing game balance over new content.

Of course we can expect new skins, uniforms and headgear.

We're stoked to see what this season is going to bring to the table!
