Sign in to your TheGamer account After nearly 11 years of constant updates and drastic changes to its gameplay formula, it's hard to imagine much that Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege could do at this point to surprise fans. Even after being desensitized with numerous outlandish skins from its Halloween events to Rick and Morty collaboration, however, the newest crossover coming to Ubisoft's long-lived live-service game is already a hit with players. As announced on the official Rainbow Six account on X, the newest crossover character after Solid Snake coming to the game will be none other than Id Software's Doom Slayer, which also comes just a few short months after Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 announced its own official collaboration with the legendary FPS franchise. The Doom Slayer Is Officially Coming To Siege Unlike Solid Snake, however, the Doom franchise's protagonist isn't being added as a full-blown crossover operator, but instead has been claimed to be a new legendary skin for the Defender operator Tachanka. Although Ubisoft has revealed barely anything else about the collaboration ahead of the collaboration's December 22 release date, as per usual with these kinds of announcements, it does seem like Rainbow Six is going all out for the event with a new teaser cinematic and sneak peek at the highly detailed model coming for the character. Fans Have Had A Mixed Reaction To The News While players have already made plenty of jokes, like how there is "no need for this event, any time I get on this game im already in hell," plenty of fans have been expressing excitement over the announcement that seemingly came out of the blue. Despite the cheers and players praising it as "the hardest crossover anyone has cooked up," not everyone is happy about the Slayer's inclusion. From criticisms about "slopping up my childhood games" or missing "when Rainbow Six used to be all about tactics and anti-terror" or the fact that Mick Gordon's soundtrack was used in the trailer, which all come after the crossover made waves even beyond the reaches of the Rainbow Six community. Regardless of the reception, Rainbow Six Siege's newest skin collaboration is bound to be a hit with players, with few operators more fitting than the masked Tachanka and his incendiary grenade-launching gadget.
