There's two new maps out now for Killzone: Shadow Fall, and The Insurgents Pack, an expansion predominately focussed on the multiplayer side of the game, has been detailed.

The new paid-for content comes with a new character class, two new game modes, three new abilities, and three new weapons. Here's the details (via the PlayStation Blog):

The Insurgent
A brand new class with two unique abilities: Hack and Steal.
The insurgent starts with just a pistol and his wits about him. As vulnerable as he is, he can slowly build up his arsenal in the game by using [Steal] to steal weapons and abilities from downed enemies, which enables him to use those weapons throughout the game, even if he falls in combat. By using [Hack] he can change enemy ground automata into friendlies, turning the tide of battle quite swiftly.

Killzone: Shadow Fall

Three new abilities
The Scout, Support and Assault also get additional abilities.
E-Pulse emitter - a deployable beacon that sends out an e-pulse making it difficult for enemy units to install automata in that area
Tactical Echo emitter - a deployable beacon that send out a Tactical Echo from a fixed location making the area hard to infiltrate by hidden enemy units
Guard Drone - The Assault gets a stationary Buddy drone; deploy it in one place and it guards the location from a ground level.

Three new weapons
Welcome old friends and new with this pack of weapons for the Scout, Assault and Support:
M82 - the classic assault rifle of choice from Killzone 2 and 3 is back!
L512 SMG Pistol - this amazing machine pistol makes your tactical secondary weapon of choice that much more punch
Sta14 Rifle - The sniper rifle of many battles past adds to your long distance sniping arsenal.

New single player Elite Mode
The nightmarish difficulty of Elite Mode will test the hardest of warriors.
Three lives, Hard difficulty, and the Shadowfall campaign to test your mettle.

New online collectibles mode
Find the online collectibles crates in game for rewards.
A limited set of collectible crates will spawn only for Insurgent Expansion holders, one per match for a limited time. Collect one and earn extra points in game, collect more and stand to win rewards in game.

New challenges and trophies
All this content comes with its own set of Challenges and Trophies to unlock. Trophy details will be released soon.

Insurgent Personalisation Pack
One OWL Skin
Three Spotlight Moves
One voice-over pack containing HGH and VSA battle chatter voices

If you've got the Season Pass then all this content has already been paid for, otherwise expect it to set you back €9.99. If you've no intention on paying for the new class and game modes, there's two new maps that are available to download for free. The Cruiser map and The Hanger are now both available to download. If you've not got a copy of the game but want to try it out, there's a free multiplayer trial running until March 11.

Killzone: Shadow Fall

REVIEW. Written by Petter Hegevall

"Killzone: Shadow Fall ends up being a nice side attraction that, despite a few frustrating elements, shows what PlayStation 4 is capable of."
