New Rainbow Six Siege Trailer Teases Operation North Star and… a Helicopter?

Today Ubisoft released a brand new teaser trailer of its super-popular multiplayer squad shooter Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.

The trailer teases the reveal of the new operation, “North Star,” which will be showcased this Sunday, May 23 at 10:00 am EDT, 7:00 am PDT, 3:00 pm BST, or 4:00 pm CEST depending on where you live.

The operation will feature a new defender operator nicknamed Thunderbird. From the roadmap, we know she is of the Nakoda people.

Apparently, she’s also a helicopter pilot. How that fits in the game, we really don’t know.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege is currently available for PS4, XboxOne, PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.
