Capcom's celebration of Resident Evil's 25th anniversary continues with a Rainbow Six Siege collaboration, which allows players to equip Operator Zofia with an Elite Set of Jill Valentine items. Ubisoft announced its Resident Evil collaboration during a preview event for Siege's Operation Crimson Heist in February.
This isn't the first time Ubisoft's Tom Clancy brand has joined forces with heroes of the long-running horror franchise. Throughout the first two weeks of this past February, The Division 2 hosted an Apparel Event where Division Agents could unlock Resident Evil-themed cosmetic items. A total of 21 items were featured in the limited-time event, including everything from backpack trophies and arm patches to weapon skins and icon Resident Evil outfits. Now yet another Ubisoft-published title is taking part in the celebration of RE's milestone year.
Rainbow Six Siege players can pick up an Elite Set for Operator Zofia that basically sees her decked out in Jill Valentine cosplay. PlayStation recently dropped a trailer that shows off the outfit and its various items in full. The Zofia Elite Set includes Jill's S.T.A.R.S. Unit uniform, victory dance, headgear, gadget skin for the KS79 Lifeline, the R.E. Elite Zofia Chibi charm, and a weapon skin for the LMG-E, M762, and RG15. According to a post from ResetEra user Jawmuncher, the skin is available for 1800 R6 Credits in the Rainbow Six Siege storefront.
It's currently unclear as to whether or not this outfit set serves as yet another limited-time offering. With that in mind, Rainbow Six Siege players interested in equipping Zofia with the Jill Valentine attire may want to act fast.
This year is a big one for Resident Evil as a whole. In addition to 25th anniversary-related excitement, fans have the next mainline entry to look forward to with the forthcoming launch of Resident Evil Village. The new installment will once more place players in the shoes of RE7 protagonist Ethan Winters. It also marks another attempt on Capcom's part to invest in the online space with RE:Verse, a deathmatch-centric multiplayer mode that will come bundled with Resident Evil Village. The online component features a slew of the series' most beloved heroes, who will transform into some of the equally beloved villains upon death.
Players can dive into Rainbow Six Siege on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
