Rainbow Six Siege’s Yakuza-themed skins: All Details
The Yakuza-themed skins will be for two operators of Rainbow Six Siege — Echo and Hibana, that are defensive and offensive-based, respectively. Echo’s skin will be based on the protagonist and face of the Yakuza series, Kazuma Kiryu. Meanwhile, Hibana‘s skin will be based on a character from Yakuza 2, Kaoru Sayama. Kaoru was the lead detective from Osaka’s police department and was also Kiryu‘s partner and love interest in Yakuza.
According to the video shared by Ubisoft, skins for both the operates will be heavily based on the appearances of these characters as seen in Yakuza 2.
