A Rainbow Six Siege free to play weekend is coming up this very weekend. Ubisoft has advised that across all three Rainbow Six Siege platforms will be free to play.

Operation Chimera

Following the Rainbow Six Siege free to play weekend, the first content for Year 3, Season One will be released. “Operation Chimera” will include two brand-new Operators, who specialise in biohazard containment. These two Operators will come in handy when Rainbow Six Seige’s “Outbreak” co-op mode launches on March 7.

Further details on “Operation Chimera,” “Outbreak” will be revealed during the Rainbow Six Siege Invitationals which will take place in Montreal from February 16 through 18.

To catch all of the action you can head to the Rainbow Six Siege Twitch channel.
