Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege is in the middle of a full Year 3 of new DLC content. The first of the game's new Operators came in February with Operation Chimera, but now Ubisoft is ready to introduce two more characters into the fold.

Operation Para Bellum is set to introduce two new Italian Operators, both of whom will play on Defense. Players can also look forward to the game's 20th map. The full reveals for Operation Para Bellum is scheduled for the weekend of May 19-20 during the Rainbow Six Siege Pro League Finals, which can be seen on Twitch.

Speaking of esports, Operation Para Bellum will also introduce the esports-style Pick & Ban system, which has teams take turns selecting their character. This adds a new degree of strategy, encouraging counterpicks and also bans of top-level characters.

More details on Operation Para Bellum can be found on the Rainbow Six Siege website.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
