Rainbow Six: Siege Year 2 Kicks Off with Operation Velvet Shell

Ubisoft today announced that Operation Velvet Shell, the first free update of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Siege Year 2, is now available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC. Year 2 pass holders will instantly receive the two new Operators of the Spanish Counter Terrorist Unit as well as their four signature weapons skins. Non-Season Pass owners will be able to unlock them using the ‘Renown’ in-game currency or R6 Credits from February 14th.

In Operation Velvet Shell, two G.E.O. Operators – Mira and Jackal – join Team Rainbow to protect civilians vacationing on the “Coastline,” the new free map set in Ibiza, Spain. Additionally, Year 2 will start with a new navigation interface, making player activity such as challenges, news and boosters available in the same place.
