Over the weekend, Ubisoft offered a detailed rundown of the forthcoming Outbreak event in Rainbow Six Siege, showing off all the enemies, maps, and play styles for what is being called the tactical shooter’s "zombie mode." Now, the publisher and developer has unveiled an official gameplay trailer for the content that shows off the new and limited time mode's monstrosities that lurk in the quarantine zone in Operation Chimera.

As seen directly below in Rainbow Six Siege's Outbreak gameplay trailer, would-be operators are tasked with quelling an alien parasitic outbreak in the town of Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which has mutated the town's residents into a slew of horribly mutated creatures. There are going to be multiple enemy types, with each variant having its own unique attacks and abilities, and Ubisoft has shared some tips on how to deal with them in a separate trailer further below.

For those unaware, Rainbow Six Siege's Outbreak event is set to go live on the game's Technical Test Servers tomorrow, February 20, 2018, and will then be available on all platforms from March 6 until April 3. In addition to this, the content drop preceding the Outbreak event – that is, Operation Chimera – should be available in the game's testing realm right now on PC, and will be released to fans on March 6.

Taking all of this into consideration, it's great to see Ubisoft continually supporting Rainbow Six Siege with content such as Operation Chimera and the forthcoming Outbreak event. While some fans of the franchise have wondered if the game will receive a followup sometime down the line, it looks as if the publisher and developer does not intend to release a sequel, as it seems to have decided on supporting Rainbow Six Siege for the foreseeable future.

Rainbow Six Siege is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
