Rainbow Six Siege Operation North Star announced

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege will be getting Operation North Star next, featuring an animated trailer at Ubisoft Forward. The video description simply states:

Love, wisdom, bravery… Endowed with the legacy of her ancestors, Thunderbird is ready to ignite the sky of Siege!

A newcomer from the Nakoda Territories has joined Team Rainbow: Thunderbird. This reckless helicopter pilot brings her altruistic philosophy directly to the field, as a new defender with the ability to spare healing devices: the Kóna stations. Also, discover the freshly reworked Favela map.

Cross-play and cross-progression were also announced, with the schedule being set as follows:

• 30 June: PC, Stadia, Luna
• Early 2022: Crossplay between Xbox and Playstation, cross-progression between all platforms

Naturally, with North Star, Rainbow Six Siege is getting new stuff in a Community Artist Bundle with Sunstark, and new Streamer Charms. The post-stream section also tackled a few top issues expressed by the community:

• Automated data-based cheat detection
• Coming in Y6 S2: Increased abandon penalties, smoke propagation fix, bullet hole peeking fix
• Coming in Y6 S3: Improved flash detection, skin visibility, MMR rollback

There’s also discussion about stream sniping, which the team promises they’re working on, but cannot provide a solid timeline, which you can read about here.
