Taken well in advance, the decision led to the direct involvement of the LGBTQAI + community, in order to offer an effective representation of Anja “Osa” Jankovic. In particular, the script linked to the Operator was written by a queer personality, while the dubbing was entrusted to a transgender woman. ” Although his identity is certainly defined by his genre, – concluded Ubisoft – his role within the Rainbow Six: Siege universe is defined by his talents, his influences on Nighthaven and his close friendship with Kali “.
