Year 3 of the popular first person shooter's post-launch content will begin with two new operators and the Outbreak event, grouped under the name 'Operation Chimera'. Outbreak and Operation Chimera will be fully revealed at the Rainbow Six Invitational in Montreal in 2018 - because of the name and logo, some have speculated that Outbreak will Siege's take on a "Zombies"-style mode.
The two operators being added first are biohazard specialists. They will be playable in multiplayer as well as Outbreak, the game's first co-op event. Outbreak will be available for free for all players, and will take place over a four week period. Playing during Outbreak will allow players to unlock cosmetic items that are exclusive to the event.
The Year 3 Season Pass will be available for purchase December 12. At that time, players will no longer be able to buy Season 2 customization items. Brian Barnett is an IGN Freelance Writer. You can follow him on Twitter at @Ribnax.
