Rainbow Six Siege fans will be getting a blast from the past, with the Calypso Casino making its way to the multiplayer shooter later this year.

Rainbow Six: Vegas was one of the most popular Tom Clancy games for the seventh generation of consoles.

After a short teaser two weeks ago, Metal Gear’s Solid Snake has been officially announced as the next permanent operator for Rainbow Six Siege.

Working closely with Konami, this Solid Snake brings a whole new style of infiltration to one of Ubisoft’s most popular titles ever.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege has introduced unique characters in the past, with Sam Fisher from Splinter Cell most recently joining the game. But with this operator, Ubisoft wanted to do something special and worked closely with Konami for almost a year to bring it to life.
