"We've communicated already a couple of times about how the vision of the game is to bring it to 100 operators," said brand director, Alexandre Remy at the Rainbow Six Invitational 2018 "Today we have 36 operators. Year 3 will bring eight new operators. [The goal of 100] is not only a symbol, but it's a testament of the longevity that we want to put in the game. Again, we are claiming extremely loud here, there is no sequel planned, and we are here for the next 10 years, so expect more Rainbow Six in your life for quite some time." Plans for Year 3 were laid out in the latest developer diary, with two operators dropping in each of the four seasons. The first season - Chimera - will also see a limited-time event that pits players against aliens, in Outbreak Season 1 of Year 3 kicks off on March 6, and adds the Lion and Finka attacker operators.
