I haven’t performed Rainbow Six Siege in fairly a while, however I’ll should, contemplating an all-time gaming icon is ready to affix the roster.
An official collab between Ubisoft and Konami will carry Steel Gear Strong’s Strong Snake into the fold as a playable operator in Rainbow Six Siege for season certainly one of 12 months 11. And I’m very glad about this, as a result of it’s Strong Snake and never Large Boss, for as soon as.
Within the teaser trailer for the brand new operator, Splinter Cell’s Sam Fisher (already within the recreation as a personality named Zero) contacts Snake on his Codec, iconic sound results and all. So yeah, that is legit, even when I’m not a participant of the sport.
My private expertise with R6 Siege is minimal. I performed it for a really brief time on PS4 a few years in the past. I additionally had no concept that Sam Fisher was within the recreation, or that there have been “visitor” characters like this a tall, but it surely’s arduous to not get excited, particularly for Snake.
This mark’s simply certainly one of a number of current MGS collabs lately, together with Strong Snake and Raiden showing in Fortnite again in 2024, and Delta Power that includes the enduring David Hayter because the voice for Bare Snake as an look choice for an current character.
Strong Snake being again within the highlight on this means additionally does make me really feel like Konami could also be cooking one thing up for MGS1. The sport’s thirtieth anniversary is coming in two years, and I’d say it’s extremely possible that we might see a remake in the identical vein as final 12 months’s Steel Gear Strong Delta: Snake Eater.
Ubisoft says the total reveal of Strong Snake is coming in just a few weeks on Feb. 15, so I will likely be tuned in to see what it’s all about. If Snake’s character package doesn’t embrace some type of cardboard field, I will likely be none too happy.
