Rainbow Six Siege's latest update, Operation Blood Orchid, will be released on August 29 for PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One.

According to Ubisoft, Operation Blood Orchid features a new map set in Hong Kong, several new customization items, and three new Operators. While the map will be free to all players as of August 29, the three new operators will be available only to season pass holders on that date. Everyone else will be able to purchase the Operators on September 5.

Ubisoft will share more details about Operation Blood Orchid during its livestream at Gamescom on August 26.

Rainbow Six Siege's roadmap was recently revised to help fix a few technical issues. The game also just hit 20 million registered players last week.
