Rainbow Six Siege is going strong and, if Y9S1 is anything to go by, a brand new season could have plenty of surprises lined up. While we're still enjoying Operation Deadly Omen, which introduced us to new Operator Deimos, Y9S2 is slowly creeping around the corner.
Below, we'll go over everything we know about the upcoming season, including its release date and new content.
Y9S2 Latest News & Leaks
We'll keep you updated on any official news and leaks related to the upcoming Y9S2 season.
Ubisoft have updated their roadmap for Y9, which currently gives tentative dates and planned content for the next three seasons. You can check out the full roadmap here.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 2 Release Date Speculation
According to Ubosoft's R9S Y9 roadmap, Y9S2 is expected to begin in June 2024. This is a tentative date, which means the release month could shift depending on Ubisoft's schedules. This also means, at the time of writing, we don't have an exact release date for Y9S2.
However, we expect Operation Deadly Omen to come to an end towards mid-June, 2024.
Rainbow Six Siege Year 9 Season 2 Content
Thanks to Ubisoft's Y9 roadmap once again, we have a pretty good idea of what content is set to arrive in Y9S2. However, at the time of writing, these are all tentative, and therefore subject to change.
Y9S2 Operator
It seems that in Rainbow Six Siege Y9S2, Ubisoft will be forgoing a new Operator in favor of a "revamp" of The Recruit (Attacker & Defender). This Operator will be getting a new look, and will be playable in the Ranked Playlist.
Y9S2 Upcoming Major Features
- Reputation System: The full release of this system is expected to arrive in Y9S2
- Siege Marketplace Launch: This long-teased feature is also currently scheduled for release in the upcoming season. This will enable players to buy and sell cosmetics in a new dedicated marketplace.
- Map Filters: There will be new map filters added for Standard playlists.
Y9S2 Balancing
Two Operators are scheduled to receive some balancing updates:
- Fenrir: To improve the balance between Attackers and Defenders.
- Solis: Part one of this Operator's rebalance.
Other Upcoming Features
- After Action Screen 2.0: A new end-of-match screen giving an enhanced recap.
- Drone Jump Previsualization: New trajectory previsualization for drone jumps.
- Map Training Playlist: Incorporating additional maps and target drill modes.
- Steam Bans: Improved ban enforcement on Steam.
- Versus AI: Adding additional AI-controlled Operators and new maps into the Versus AI playlist
That's all for the current news ahead of Rainbow Six Siege Y9S2. We'll be updating this page as more information is made available, so be sure to check back soon!
