Ghost Recon Breakpoint Announces Operation Amber Sky, a R6 Siege Crossover Live Event

Today, Ubisoft announced that Operation Amber Sky, a new live event that will let players fight alongside Rainbow Six Siege teammates in brand-new story missions, will kick off on January 21st for all Ghost Recon Breakpoint players.

The Operation Amber Sky live event will release as part of Title Update 3.10, launching free for all players on January 19th. The update will introduce:

• 9 Free Missions: The Ghosts are told that Sentinel is producing a toxic gas, Amber Ruin, in Auroa and selling it all over the world. Joining forces with an infiltrated Rainbow Six Siege team, players will have to stop the production and find an antidote. For this, they will have to complete a wide array of objectives and venture into the deadly gas areas, where they will need to wear a gas mask and renew their filters regularly to survive. Upon completing the event missions, players will unlock eleven unique rewards, including brand-new weapons and Rainbow Six Siege full skins.
• New Teammates: After completing the first mission of the live event, players will be able to deploy Operators Ash, Finka and Thatcher anywhere in the game and at any time from the menu, as an alternative to regular teammates. Their looks, weapons and unique capabilities are modeled from Rainbow Six Siege.
• More than 120 New Customization Items: Items include full skins from Operators and more.

Coinciding with the event, Ghost Recon Breakpoint will kick off a free weekend from January 21–24, available on all platforms. In addition to having full access to the base game’s content, new players will get the chance to experience the Amber Sky live event and earn related rewards.
