Rainbow Six Siege Y7S1 Demon Veil update is now out, and Ubisoft has shared the list of fixed bugs in the official patch notes!

After delaying the update for a week, today is finally the day that the new year of Rainbow Six Siege begins! As already teased back in February this year, Ubisoft has planned big changes and improvements for Year 7, and with its first season going live in a few hours, we will be getting some big new features already, including Attacker Repick, the reworked version of Goyo, a brand new Operator, and a new map coming later in the season.

After testing the new season for almost three weeks on Test Servers and applying some fixes to Azami, now the new defender is ready to step into the Rainbow Six Siege roster as the 63rd operator of the game.

Azami will remain exclusive to Year Pass owners for two weeks, but after that, you can unlock her by paying either R6 Credits or Renown.
