The tide is rising. Operation Riptide rolls in with a splash of new content, two powerful Operators, and a lineup of limited-time modes and events that keep the action flowing. Whether you're chasing ranked glory or soaking up seasonal rewards, there's plenty to uncover.

NEW OPERATOR - MIRA

Mira joins the defense roster with her signature Black Mirror: a bulletproof one-way window that transforms any wall into a tactical stronghold. Her ability to control sightlines and anchor key positions makes her a formidable addition to any squad. Unlock Mira through the premium Battle Pass and bring precision defense to your team from day one.

MID-SEASON OPERATOR - LION

Later in the season, Lion enters the fray. His EE-ONE-D drone scans the battlefield for movement, disrupting enemy plans and revealing hidden threats. Players will be able to unlock Lion with Renown or Platinum, adding intel-driven aggression to their roster.

LIMITED-TIME PLAYLISTS AND EVENTS

A rotating lineup of modes and events will keep things fresh throughout the season. From tactical skirmishes to special celebrations, there's always something new on the horizon.

Zone Secure: Mira & Lion Showcase - Weeks 1, 6 & 7

Zone Secure joins the lineup this season with two spotlight runs. Compete against an enemy team to see who can capture a specific zone faster. Both Attackers and Defenders will have the ability to respawn, so be on your toes! You never know when more enemies may be coming. For the first week of the mode, Mira will be featured and playable by all, even if you haven't unlocked her. Later in the season, Lion will take the spotlight in the same mode, also available to everyone. It's a great chance to test out both Operators in a high-pressure environment built for aggressive defense and coordinated pushes.

3v3 Restaurant Team Deathmatch - Week 3

3v3 returns, this time in the fan-favorite Restaurant map, now played as Team Deathmatch. With tight spaces and fast pacing, this mode strips things down to pure combat. No objectives, just quick eliminations and sharp coordination. It's a fresh take on a beloved setup, and it's only here for a limited time.

Ranked Anniversary - Week 4 & Every Weekend

To celebrate the Rainbow Six competitive spirit, a special limited-time event brings a full week of Best of 7 Ranked. We know you've been asking for it so here it is! This extended format will be available every weekend throughout the season, offering longer matches and more room for strategy. During the special Ranked Anniversary week, Best of 7 will take over the Ranked playlist entirely, and will feature a different map to dominate each day. Complete the event and you'll unlock a themed cosmetic reward to mark the occasion and show off your victory. Get your squad ready. The format's tougher, the matches are longer. Now is your chance to rise to the challenge.

Merry Mayhem - Weeks 5 to 8

Merry Mayhem will be kicking off a seasonal celebration for the holiday period! Set on a festively decorated version of Summit, this event will bring a special playlist, themed rewards, exclusive skins, and more. Stay tuned for a deeper look at the upcoming holiday chaos.

New Year's Cold Clash - Week 9

Cold Clash returns with a frosty face-off: five Bucks versus five Frosts. Respawns are on in this variation of Secure Area, where the team with the fastest objective capture time or the most capture progress wins. Prepare for an intense showdown.

3v3 Feast - Week 10

3v3 Restaurant Bomb mode is back by popular demand with exclusive rewards on the line. Tight quarters with smaller teams create fast, focused matches where every move counts. It's a stripped-down experience that rewards quick thinking and clean execution, and it's only here for a limited time.

SPECIAL EVENTS

Seasonal events will roll out all season long, offering new ways to earn, squad up, and show off your skills. The Mira Enlistment and Lion Enlistment events will give you the chance to unlock special rewards tied to their arrival. Whether you're anchoring the defense or scanning for threats, these events reward your time in the field.

On top of that, Weekend Fest returns every weekend with rotating bonuses to help you progress faster and earn more. From Battle Pass XP boosts to mastery weekends and Renown Revelry, each weekend brings something new to chase.

NEW RANKED CHALLENGES

A new Ranked Challenge is live. Climb the ranks and unlock an exclusive Valkyrie skin as your reward. The grind is real, but so is the prestige.

NEW COMICS

This season's comic follows Hibana and Capitão as they navigate a tense mission on the Pacific. Unfolding in the Battle Pass tab, the story dives into covert operations and high-stakes negotiations in a remote setting.

NEW FEATURE: STAIRS & DRONE ENTRY MARKERS

New map markers are here to improve navigation and intel. Stairs and drone entry points are now clearly marked, helping you plan your moves and coordinate with your squad more effectively.

SPECIAL UBISOFT CONNECT REWARD

We're adding a little something extra this season: a special reward for linking your account to Ubisoft Connect. Once linked, you'll unlock Dokkaebi for free. If she's already part of your roster, you'll receive 30,000 Renown instead. And for those who've linked their account previously, we've got you covered. The reward will be sent your way as well. Plus, linking your account helps save your progression, so your unlocks stay with you wherever you play.
