Rainbow Six Siege Operation Dust Line DLC Details

UbiBlog features some details on Operation Dust Line, the major update for Rainbow Six Siege coming next month to the first-person shooter sequel. This will add two new Navy SEAL operators to the roster, and the post outlines what they add and when to expect further details as well as the release:

The Rainbow Six Siege team has revealed early details on Operation Dust Line, the second major content update for the game, which is scheduled for release in early May. Much like Operation Black Ice before it, Operation Dust Line features two new operators from a counterterrorism unit. For this update, it will be Valkyrie (defense) and Blackbeard (attacker) from the US Navy SEALs. Valkyrie will have access to deployable sticky cameras while Blackbeard will come equipped with a rifle and shield. You can tune into the PC Rainbow Six Pro League Finals on May 7 to learn more about Valkyrie, Blackbeard, and the rest of the content coming in Dust Line. Rainbow Six Siege Season Pass holders will get access to the new Operators the week of May 9.

More BlizzCon Tickets Today

Those interested in attending BlizzCon 2016 should head over to this page before 1:00 pm EDT today, which is when the second batch of $199 tickets will go on sale for the show, which takes place in November in Anaheim, CA. The first round of tickets sold out very quickly and these will no doubt do the same, and if miss out on this, the only remaining tickets sold by Blizzard will be the $750 dealies that come with an invitation to their charity benefit dinner.

Arcade Classics on Steam

Steam News announces the release of the promised arcade classics from BANDAI NAMCO, GALAGA, MS. PAC-MAN, PAC-MAN, and (a personal favorite) DIG DUG. They also offer a 3-in-1 Pack with a Ms. Pac-Man-free bundle of the new releases.

Grand Theft Auto Online Bonuses; New Maps

Rockstar Games announces that High Life Week is now underway in Grand Theft Auto Online, the multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V. This includes the addition of two new "Inch By Inch" maps, discounts on some virtual luxury items, and rewards boosts between now and April 28th or Sunday. Or both, as the explanation references two end dates:

The relentless intensity of Inch By Inch climbs another two notches today with brand new maps available to play right now in GTA Online. You’ll be fighting tooth and nail amongst the muck and hay bales at the Grapeseed Cow Farm in Inch By Inch III or setting up security checkpoints for low flying bag carriers entering your end zone’s airspace at LSIA in Inch By Inch IV. Both of the new maps feature in the Double GTA$ & RP Playlist available to launch directly from GTAV boot screens all weekend until midnight on Sunday April 24th.

The Double GTA$ & RP Inch By Inch Playlist is just one of many bonuses & discounts live in GTA Online from today through to Thursday April 28th as part of High Life Week in GTA Online. All week long, take advantage of Double RP Bonuses and substantial discounts for Properties, Yachts, clothing, Weapons and more.
