Ubisoft's Rainbow Six Siege is still one of the best multiplayer games on PC and it's about to hit Year 7 Season 1 - now officially revealed as Demon Veil. It's also about to get a new operator with a game-changing gadget, but to get to this the team prototyped several operators with unique gadgets - including one with a "pile of green goo" called Flubber.
Earlier this month the Rainbow Six Siege team revealed Demon Veil and the new operator Azami, a Japanese defender with a meta-busting gadget called the Kiba Barrier - which can repair walls and other breaches. Azami's the first operator that can do this, although Ubisoft informed us of two other cancelled operators that led to Azami - nicknamed Patcher and Flubber.
We spoke with creative director Alex Karpazis and asked him about Azami's development journey, who told us the operator had "a long and storied past" - primarily "because the idea behind her gadget to repair destruction or patch holes is so integral to Siege".
