Officially: Ubisoft Introduces First Transgender Character to Rainbow Six Siege – The Wasp Operative

Company Ubisoft will add to the popular tactical shooter Rainbow six siege the first ever transgender character in the series. This is an operative nicknamed Osa. The news was shared by the publication GameSpot

Wasp will debut as part of Siege Support Year 6 Season 3

The fact that Osa is transgender is stated in her biography on the official website of the project. There, in particular, it is mentioned that during her studies at the University of Zagreb, the girl regularly spent time alone. This is due to the fact that those around her were negative about her transgender transition.

As the screenwriter explained Simon DucharmeUbisoft has long wanted to add a transgender to Siege as part of an initiative to create an inclusive roster of operatives. While designing the character, the company consulted with professionals from the trans community, and they helped to make Wasp as organic as possible.

“She was invented by a queer and voiced by a trans woman. Her personality is definitely shaped by gender, but in the Siege universe, her position is built around her abilities, her influence on Nighthaven and her friendship with Kali,” Ducharme explained.

Fans will be able to try Osa on test servers from August 17th.
