It's official, the next season of Siege goodness is Rainbow Six Siege Shadow Legacy, and Y5S3 will feature none other than Sam Fisher - of Splinter Cell fame - operating under the name Zero. The Rainbow Six Siege Shadow Legacy release date has dropped quite unexpectedly, so we know plenty about the legendary new operator, and all of the other changes waiting for us in the new season.
Following the official reveal of Operation Shadow Legacy at the Six August 2020 Major, we now know that Sam Fisher is a two armour, two speed operator who effectively plays the role of Valkyrie, but on attack. His gadget fires up to four cameras that can bore into any penetrable surface, and offer vision on either side. The cameras also have a single laser shot that can be used to shoot out defender gadgets. If you don't fire them at a penetrable surface then they'll stick to a surface and offer a 180 degree cone of vision.
Shadow Legacy also adds a host of improvements and new content to the game, such as an overhaul to the Rainbow Six Siege sights, a rework of the Chalet map, contextual pings, a shared reinforcement pool, a new hard breach gadget, map bans, and a Thatcher rework.
