Rainbow Six Siege's next operation Crystal Guard has been unveiled. Following that teaser about the op's name last week and the reveal of new operator Osa (plus her nifty shield gadget), we've now got a ton of new information about what the next big content update will bring when the Rainbow Six Siege: Crystal Guard release date rolls around – and it includes reworks for three of the FPS game's maps.
While there are three map reworks coming up this season rather than the usual one, the changes you'll see will generally be less major – but still plenty noteworthy. First up, there's Coastline. The Ibiza map, first introduced in operation Velvet Shell back in 2017, is seeing the concrete bars from its courtyard windows removed to make gunfights fairer.
These windows can now also be barricaded, which throws some new options into the mix – for example, defending operator Castle could become a stronger pick, allowing for more play in the Luggage and VIP hallway spots. Plus, the VIP balcony now has a soft wall and you can rappel straight up from there to the building's roof.
