Rainbow Six Siege Event Transforms Plane into a Rainbow Magic Land

Ubisoft has given Rainbow Six Siege a colourful makeover, transforming the classic Plane map into a Toy Story-style world with neon-bright characters and child-friendly wallpaper.

The Rainbow is Magic mode runs for seven days, and introduces a new version of the Hostage game type with a completely re-skinned Plane map. The toy theme of the map sees everything shrunk down to action figure size, with the airport environment typically surrounding the plane replaced by a child’s bedroom, complete with toy cars.

Inside the plane, walls look closer to Lego blocks than metal bulkheads, and breakable surfaces are adorned with cute wallpaper designs. The hostage is dressed in a teddy bear costume, while the Rainbow operators themselves now look like toy soldiers.

Where to Get the Sega Genesis Mini

If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.

Sega is joining the retro mini-console wars with its own Sega Genesis Mini, with a September 19 release date and a $79.99 price tag. The good news is you can preorder the Sega Genesis Mini right now, but the question is: should you?

Sony’s PlayStation Classic mini console was regarded by almost everyone as a complete disappointment. A weird selection of games, emulation problems, PAL versions of some games, and a $99 price tag turned people off. You can still pick one up at Walmart for a clearance price of $39.

For Honor Limited-Time Event Brings Rabbids Into The Mix

Ubisoft has announced a wild and wacky limited-time event for its swordfighting game For Honor.

Now until April 1 at 9 PM PT / midnight ET, players can face off against a new type of enemy: Rabbids. The cute and loveable creatures are in the game now as part of a 24-hour limited-time event. Everyone who participates gets a melee pack, on top of the reward of taking part in such a weird activity. This is no April Fool’s joke, either, as you can see plenty of people fighting against Rabbids in YouTube videos. And here is a screenshot that Ubisoft provided:

The new Rabbids-themed event is part of For Honor’s Year 3 content updates; Year 3 is known as the Year of the Harbinger. One of its most notable additions was a new fighter, The Black Prior. Looking ahead, Ubisoft said it will release even more Year 3 content, which includes seasonal events.

While this is a real thing that is happening, there are sure to be numerous fake-outs and more from the world of video games as part of April Fool’s Day, so try to be careful out there.
