There will be four expansions heading to Siege this year, with Operation: Black Ice the first.
Season pass holders will have access to two new operators straight off the bat – without having to spend real or in-game money – while everyone else will have to wait a week before being able to earn them. Ubisoft have also stated that everybody will have access to the new Operation: Black Ice map as soon as the update goes live.

The two new operators will be part of the Canadian Joint Task Force 2 anti-terrorism unit, coming with unique weapons and gadgets, while a handful of new skins will also be available.
