Other new additions to the DLC include:

  • An APPEAL ACTION feature, which triggers a unique character pose. Players can preset up to five different slots per character with additional APPEAL .

Tieing in with the launch of the DLC, Konami will be releasing a free update for Metal Gear Online, which introduces a new game mode called Sabotage.

The official press release reads:

"Attackers must destroy or fulton an enemy missile before the round expires; but to access the missile, attackers must first hack into the Terminals to deactivate the Electromagnetic (EM) Barrier that is protecting it. Once the Terminals are hacked and the EM Barrier is deactivated, defenders can choose to reactivate the Barrier or protect the Missile."

The Cloak of Silence expansion pack will be priced at €3.99 SRP, and will be released in March.
