Rainbow Six Siege Operator Warden Revealed In New Trailer

Ubisoft has released a second teaser trailer for its upcoming Rainbow Six Siege Operation Phantom Sight expansion. This video shows off Phantom Sight’s second Operator, Warden. Warden’s real name is Collinn McKinley and he’s one of Team Rainbow’s older Operators with 30 years of career experience.

In the new trailer, which can be watched below, Warden is identified as a Defender. After a brief shot of a watch that reveals Warden’s ties to both the Secret Service and Team Rainbow, the video transitions to a shot of Warden slowly walking forward as his glasses glow blue. We see glimpses of what Warden sees, which appear to be the possible actions an enemy can take. Regardless of what his glasses do exactly, they seem to be connected to his watch as both gadgets glow with the same luminescent blue.

“Hailing from the state of Kentucky, McKinley rose through the ranks of the Marines before he found his calling for close-protection detail in the Secret Service,” Ubisoft wrote in a blog post. “He demonstrated his skills distinctly when he led the Secretary of State to safety, during an attack where hostiles outmaneuvered all prior planning.”

After learning Phantom Sight’s other new Operator, Nøkk, could use her HEL device to turn invisible and hide in the shadows, we theorized–based on Phantom Sight’s initial yin-yang symbol teaser–that her counterpart would use a gadget designed to find or illuminate the position of Attackers or traps. It seems like that theory is correct, though Ubisoft hasn’t explicitly stated what exactly Warden’s Glance Smart Glasses do, only that they “reflect the nature of his natural talent, to see what most cannot in order to gain the upper hand in any given situation.”

From May 18-19, Ubisoft will host the Rainbow Six Siege Pro League Finals in Milan. On May 19, the developer plans on revealing all the new content and in-game changes coming to Siege in the Operation Phantom Sight expansion, including breakdowns of both Nøkk and Warden.

WWE’s Maryse On Whether She’ll Return To The Ring

The “It Couple” of WWE, Maryse and The Miz, have both spent over a decade working for the wrestling promotion. In addition to appearing on Raw and Smackdown, they star on the USA reality TV series, Miz and Mrs., which follows their day-to-day life as they work at WWE, raise a child, and go on wacky adventures with Maryse’s mom.

While Miz is currently performing at WWE shows and PPVs, Maryse is pregnant with the couple’s second child. After briefly returning to the ring for WWE after the birth of the couple’s first child, Monroe Sky, Maryse spoke to GameSpot about her possible future in the WWE.

“I never say never,” Marsye told us. “When I had Monroe, I was back in the ring four months after giving birth. Five months after giving birth, I was main eventing Smackdown Live in a singles match, which has never really been done before, ever. So, if you were to ask me that when I was pregnant with Monroe, I would of laughed. I would have said, ‘No, come on. Let’s not get crazy here.’ And that happened. So, this second time around, I really don’t know what to expect because you never really know what to expect with WWE. That’s the beauty of WWE is that you just never know. And it just surprised us also because I been with this company for almost thirteen years and I still get surprised, so, never say never. You never know.”

Because she’s been with the company for 13 years, Maryse has seen the the full evolution of women in the WWE. “I think Evolution was a big moment where we really recognized women in this industry,” the former Divas Champion explained. “To me that’s when I really felt in my heart, ‘Wow, this is happening.’ And I was there with Monroe because that was a very important moment for me and for every other woman. We had women from every generation, also, that showed up because that really was a big moment.”

The biggest moment to Maryse, however, was this past year’s Wrestlemania, where Ronda Rousey, Charlotte, and Beck Lynch headlined the event. “It’s just to show you that there is no limits to all of this,” she continued. “And I know it might sound cheesy, but it’s true. The sky’s the limit. And for me, having a daughter, it just made me really happy. Women made it. It’s becoming the norm. Women are going to be in the room running stuff. It’s going to be the norm. It’s going to be the normality. So I think that the next goal is just that. It’s just to have men and women. You’re qualified, you’re good, then just go rock it, you know? It’s just a crazy time for the women in this industry. It’s just really insane to watch.”

While Maryse may not be involved in this Sunday’s Money in the Bank PPV, you can see The Miz take on Shane McMahon in a cage match, which Miz discussed with GameSpot recently. The season finale of Miz and Mrs. will be on USA Network on Tuesday, May 21. And make sure to come back to GameSpot on Sunday, May 19 for live coverage and a review of MITB.
