Publisher Focus Home Interactive and developer New World Interactive have announced that multiplayer first-person shooter Insurgency: Sandstorm is set to receive a new map and mode, alongside two new weapons later today.
These additions arrive just prior to Insurgency: Sandstorm’s upcoming Steam free weekend which kicks off on June 20 and lasts until June 24.
Insurgency: Sandstorm New Map, Mode, Steam Free Weekend
Insurgency: Sandstorm’s new map, Ministry, is actually a remake of the map with the same name from the original title that focuses on close-quarters combat. The new mode, Frenzy, has been described as an “zombie-inspired arcade mode”.
Update 1.3 will also introduce two new weapons and attachments. Insurgents get the QBZ-03 Chinese assault rifle and TAR-21 MARS-style red dot optic, while Security forces can now equip the VHS-2 Croatian assault rifle and MRO “Micro Red Dot” optic. Insurgency: Sandstorm’s Update 1.3 is expected to go live at 3pm MT / 11pm CEST today.
Insurgency: Sandstorm also revealed its free content roadmap just a few days ago. New World Interactive’s shooter is set to receive a number of additions including new weapons, maps, night versions of existing maps and more until the end of the year. Check out its free weekend trailer below and give our Insurgency: Sandstorm review a read to get an idea of what you can expect should you choose to jump in this weekend.
