'Rainbow Six Siege' DLC called 'Black Ice' Slightly Delayed

"Rainbow Six Siege" DLC called "Black Ice" coming in a few more days.

There have been reports that Ubisoft will be slowing down with its game developments, following rumors that there will be no new "Assassin's Creed" happening this year. Having said that, it wouldn't come as a surprise if fans started worrying about the other games from the developer such as "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege."

A new report has emerged saying that the first "Rainbow Six Siege" DLC called "Black Ice" will be delayed. However, fans should not at all worry as the delay will only be for a couple of days and Ubisoft has very good plans in terms of adding content for this title. According to GameSpot, the "Black Ice" DLC for the first-person shooter game was originally plotted for a January 2016 release, however, it has not been confirmed that it will come out on Feb. 2 instead.

The publication added that "Rainbow Six Siege" Season Pass holders will automatically receive the DLC without the need to do anything. For the rest, the DLC will have to be unlocked or purchased. As stated in the "Rainbow Six Siege" blog site, the first DLC or "Black Ice" will contain one new map, two new operators from a new CTU, with new weapons and unique gadgets, a handful of new weapon skins in all tiers and gameplay upgrades.

And the blog post has a bit of good news to the dedicated "Rainbow Six Siege" gamers. The blog says, "The data we have suggests that the average FPS player spends 8-10 hours a week playing their favorite FPS (also in-line with our observation during the closed beta), so it should only take between two to three weeks maximum to unlock an operator."

"With about three months between each Season of content, we hope players with regular game time won't have trouble saving up enough Renown to unlock both new operators upon their release. Each operator can also be automatically accessed by spending 600 R6 Credits (£3.99 GBP). Keep in mind that the initial 20 operators at launch will be unlocked much quicker in the base progression system (500 Renown for first operator in a CTU, 1000 for the second, etc)."

"Rainbow Six Siege" is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
