Today Ubisoft had a few more reveals to make about the future of Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.
First of all, we get more details about the plans for the next two years.
Following the two operators that will be released with Operation Void Edge, there will be two more in the spring from South Africa and Norway. A rework of the House map will also come.
In the summer and fall, Ubisoft will drop the number of new operators per season to one for the time being, even if they’ll ramp up the narrative content for each.
That being said, the team is still aiming to have a hundred operators at some point, despite the fact that the trickle will slow down.
To make it up, they’ll also start applying core gameplay changes to keep the game fresh.
Some operators will also be reworked, and every season will come with a major event and we’ll get arcade playlists, with the goal of having multiple per season as time progresses.
You can see it all in the first video below.
The second video reveals a brand new elite skin, and this time around it’s from Tomb Raider.

Sonic is racking up millions of Rings this weekend.
The Sonic the Hedgehog movie blasted through the top of the box office with Sonic speed, grossing in $57 million in North America and $100 million globally.
According to Variety, the Sonic movie is expected to earn between $68-70 million through President’s Day, which will give kids who are out of school an excuse to beg their parents to take them to see Sonic.
The Sonic movie made an even bigger sonic boom on the big screen than gamers and everyone else alike expected it to, considering the long history of bad film adaptations of video games. It would’ve joined the ranks of the Super Mario Bros. movie and made at least $54 million less than it did had Jeff Fowler not listened to the Sonic fans’ outrage over the first movie trailer and redesigned Sonic.
The changes to Sonic’s movie design and the three-month delay it took to make it possible, thanks to Tyson Heese, earned the Sonic the Hedgehog movie a solid “A” on CinemaScore and knocked Birds of Prey off its nest. Ben Schwartz lifted Sonic’s super teen spirit with his youthful voice acting and Jim Carrey dipped Dr. Eggman into his manic comedic splendor — the same brand of comedy that launched his career in the ‘90s.
“The consumer always determines what is right and what is wrong. They made their voices clear, and we listened,” Chris Aronson, Paramount’s president of domestic distribution, said. “This movie exceeded [audience’s] expectations. That’s a testament to that reset and terrific performances by Jim Carrey and the entire cast.”

Goro Akechi is certainly a popular character in Persona 5, and soon you’ll be able to have him on your own shelf, posed however you like.
Good Smile company made its new figma portraying Crow (Goro Akechi’s Phantom Thief alter-ego) available for pre-order, and you can find it on Ami Ami.
The price is 6,390 yen, which translates approximately into $58. Like all figma, he’s fully posable.
The release window is fairly far, October 2020. The sculpting work is by SF345 and Naoki Satou.
“This is what I was waiting for!”
From the anime “PERSONA5 the Animation” comes a figma of Crow in his Phantom Thief outfit!
The smooth yet posable figma joints allow you to act out a variety of different scenes.
A flexible plastic is used in specific areas, allowing proportions to be kept without compromising posability.
He comes with three face plates including a confident face, a smiling face and a sneering face.
His laser saber and ray gun are included, along with a chess piece and an alternate hair part to pose him with his mask.
An articulated figma stand is included, which allows various poses to be taken.”
If you’re curious, you can check out what the figure looks like below.

Today Square Enix made two new Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride action figures available for pre-order as part of its Bring Arts brand.
The figures portray heroines Bianca and Nera. You can find both on Ami Ami, priced at 6,390 yen each. That translates into roughly $58.
They will be released respectively in July and August 2020, one month apart.
Each figure comes with a base (Bring Arts really struggle to stand on their own) and a bunch of alternative hands.
Incidentally, they’re not the first Dragon Quest V Bring Arts figures to go up for pre-order as of late. The hero is also available for pre-order at the same price, albeit with a much earlier release window in May.
It’s not surprising to see Square Enix bring Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride back under the spotlight. The Dragon Quest: Your Story movie recently released on Netflix is based on this specific chapter of the saga.
If you’d like to see what both figures look like, you can enjoy a gallery below.

After over one decade from the original release on the Nintendo Wii, World of Goo is coming to a Nintendo Switch cartridge.
Thanks to publisher Super Rare Games, you’ll be able to pick up this collectible item of the cult hit starting on February 20.
Besides the cult following for World of Goo, critics also seem to love this game. Right now the Wii Metacritic score is sitting at an impressive 94. The Switch version is lower but still fantastic at 84.
The variation in the scores is likely because physics-based building games were not as prevalent as they are now. Still, it’s worth picking up World of Goo if you’re into these kinds of puzzle games.
These releases are a continuing trend that we’re seeing this generation where anything from classic licensed titles to indies are getting the physical edition treatment.
You may even be familiar Super Rare Games already since they’ve put out physical editions for popular indie titles such as Toki-Tori and SteamWorld Quest: Hand of Gilgamech.
Also, if you’ve never played World of Goo before and you prefer to have physical media then this is a great way to expand your game library.
And if you’re a steelbook collector, then for a few dollars more you can pick up the Steelbook edition of the World of Goo physical release.
Both editions will come with the game, a reversible cover, some trading cards and a full manual. You can pick up the standard edition for $32.54 (£29.99) or the Steelbook for $52.07 (£47.99).
You’ll have to act fast on Feb. 20 to get your pre-order in since there will only be 6000 physical copies available for purchase. There is also a 2 game per-person limit to help make scalping the game more difficult.
