Ubisoft have nerfed Maverick, the new operator in Rainbow Six Siege who is not even on live servers yet. Apparently players found him to be too useful, so he got nerfed, along with several other operators, while some were buffed or fixed.

Ubisoft are taking no breaks when it comes to dealing with toxic players, cheaters and those paying cheaters to boost them in Rainbow Six Siege. They have revealed a new way to deal with the latter two, following anti-toxicity ban system.

Ubisoft's Six Major is underway and plenty of new reveals are exclusive to the event as a part of promotion for Rainbow Six Siege. Several leaks, however, are providing information for players who were not able to attend the event.

Information about Clash and Maverick has been leaked earlier by Six Major Paris attendees, so it was inevitable that Ubisoft would reveal the operators in near future. Well, it's not future anymore, as they have posted a reveal video.

Ubisoft have posted another batch of designer's notes for Rainbow Six: Siege, regarding the pre-season and will accordingly arrive with year three, season three patch. The biggest takeaway is a major nerf to Thatcher, the laser sight hater.

Ubisoft have announced that another Rainbow Six Siege free weekend will run from 16 to 20 August 2018, with different starting and ending times for each platform. The game will also be available at a discount during the free weekend event.

Ubisoft have released a small preview video of the new Hereford Base, showing what it looks like after Grim Sky facelift. As they previously stated, Ubisoft are remaking the map in order to fit Rainbow Six Siege's competitive bill.

Ubisoft have teased Operation Grim Sky, which will be the first bit of new content in Rainbow Six Siege's new season, featuring two new operators as well as Hereford Base map rework. Oddly enough, the content wasn't leaked previously.

Ubisoft's Gamescom event will feature demos of Assassin’s Creed Origins, Far Cry 5 and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle among others. Fans will be able to enter giveaways and buy Ubicollectible items as well as visit stage performances.

Rainbow Six Siege's ban hammer is in full swing as it is still smashing players for using slurs, but it has now also squished around 1300 players who chose to get a boost by cheating. The bans are temporary, but the consequences will last.
