February 7, 2019 The first Rainbow Six Siege Year 4 teasers points straight at the outback.

If you had any doubts about all those leaks and rumours about Rainbow Six Siege setting Australia as its next seasonal theme, the first official teaser from Ubisoft should put that last bit of uncertainty to rest. A new tweet simply says “g’day” along with an animated image of a kangaroo crossing sign. At this point, we’ll soon be awash in Vegemite sandwiches and shrimp on the barbie.

The Six Invitational starts on February 15, and will host the proper Year 4 reveal on February 17. That means it’s proper teasing time for the next season, so expect plenty more quick Twitter videos and teaser trailers ahead of next weekend.

This lines up with the leaks around a pair of new Australian operators that popped up a few weeks ago. Those reports suggest we’re getting Mozzie – a defender that takes control of enemy drones – and Gridlock – an attacker with a red web trap that damages opponents who run into it. We were skeptical of that leak at the time, but it’s at least looking increasingly likely that we’ll head for the outback soon.
