Tomorrow, Rainbow Six Siege will launch a Rick and Morty crossover that features the addition of two new character bundles - Smoke Pickle Rick and Gromflomite Sledge. Over the last six years or so, Rainbow Six Siege has played host to its fair share of interesting crossovers.
Splinter Cell's Sam Fisher joined Siege last year, for instance, assuming the role of an Operator codenamed Zero. Earlier this year, Siege's Ash, Finka, and Thatcher made the jump to Ghost Recon Breakpoint, assisting Nomad with a crisis spurred on by the deadly Amber Ruin toxic gas. And late last month, Ubisoft took part in the celebration of Resident Evil's 25th anniversary by deploying an Elite Set in Rainbow Six Siege that allows players to adorn Operator Zofia in Jill Valentine's iconic attire. Even a classic Lara Croft-inspired Elite Skin once featured in Siege for Operator Ash. But it seems Ubisoft's tactical shooter is now taking a note out of Fortnite's book when it comes to crazy crossovers.
Today, the Rainbow Six Siege team announced Rick and Morty-themed cosmetic bundles will launch tomorrow, April 15. Fans can look forward to two separate bundles - Sledge Gromflomite and Smoke Pickle Rick - each of which bears the price tag of 2160 R6 Credits. The Sledge Gromflomite features the Federation Defense attachment skin, Gromflomite uniform and headgear, Seal Team Rick charm, and weapon skin for the M590A1. Meanwhile, the Smoke Pickle Rick bundle is designed to ensure Rick can avoid therapy. It boasts Pickle Rick's Rat Suit and headgear, a weapon skin, Pickle Rick charm, and a Portal Gun attachment. (Strangely, this doesn't sound like Rick's wildest transformation.)
This new batch of content is the latest in a line of exclusive bundles for Rainbow Six Siege's Year 6. Ubisoft has more cosmetic bundles up its sleeve for the rest of the year, but specifics about what these additions may entail currently remain under lock and key.
Rainbow Six Siege struggled throughout its 2015 launch period, but slowly picked up steam over time. In fact, it's since become one of the most popular live-service shooters on the market, recently topping a staggering player count of 70 million.
Rainbow Six Siege is available across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S platforms; the Rick and Morty crossover goes live on April 15.
