Ubisoft is paving the way for the announcement of the content and features coming in Rainbow Six: Siege's Year 9 with a rather sizable reveal, the identity of Deimos.
The antagonist who was at the center of Year 8 finally meets his match in a new cinematic trailer.
A second video, this time animated, is basically the sequel of the cinematic trailer, with the ongoing investigation bringing up a Flashback in which the identity of Deimos is finally revealed. If you consider this a spoiler and would rather watch it before I tell you, you can skip to the videos and not read under the following image.
Deimos is actually a known face that veteran fans of the franchise will remember. He's former Rainbow Six operator Gerald Morris, who appeared in Rainbow Six, Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, and Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield.
Not only do we get to find out his identity as he's held for interrogation, but we see how he parted ways with his former colleagues. As you may imagine, it was not an amicable farewell.
You can check out the cinematic trailer below.
Here's the animated trailer, providing a look into Deimos' past, albeit his motivations remain obscure.
