Who is Iana?

Iana came from a family of engineers who used to work at the Air Force and is now currently residing in a space station. So, yes, she is the astronaut and an attacking operator. Rumors have been going around that Yana's glove is used to control a robotic hand, which replicates movements. Yana will be able to deploy a controllable hologram. No one knows yet what she will be used to control the hologram, whether it is her glove or just a regular phone. Yana's loadout is an ARX 200 with an attachable V-Grip, a G36C, and an MK1 9mm.

Who is Oryx?

Oryx is another defender added to the roster and is Kaid's second-in-command at the Fortress. With his special ability being that he will be able to breach soft walls around using his body and can also smash himself onto hatches on defense looking like a flank who is not so subtle, which is probably why they designed him as muscular and well-built. His loadout consists of an MP5, a SPAS-12, a Bailiff 410, and a USP40. There is not much information about Oryx as the trailer is only a very short teaser for the upcoming season. Compared side by side, aside from the fact that the other one is a defender and the other one is an attacker, it is pretty much obvious that both newly added operators are totally opposite from each other.

There will also be some reworks like Finka's health boost that will now be permanent. Tachanka's LMG will become Lord's primary, and Fuze will now be able to pierce through reinforced walls and hatches with the fuze charge.

Rainbow Six Siege was released five years ago as a multiplayer shooter known for being drawn from the world's most famous special forces and police agencies namely, Special Air Service, GIGN, Federal Bureau of Investigation, etc., and has expanded to a whole lot more fictional agencies and individuals that the developers have implemented.

Everything about these two characters and information about Operation Void Edge will be revealed on Saturday, Feb. 15, during the annual competition, Six Invitational. Fans around the world have been anticipating this new season for a while now, excited to see what is in store for them in Operation Void Edge coming on Feb.15.
