Ubisoft is taking players back Inside Recon, in a brand new episode of the Ghost Recon: Future Soldier behind-the-scenes series.

This time around, Tommy Jacob - Creative Director on Multiplayer - is walking us through the recently released Khyber Strike DLC offering. Khyber Strike includes:

New weapons, new game and three new maps:

Switchback: Step off the main road leading down into the city and into a maze of ancient buildings and narrow alleys. The twists and turns of the alleyways turn every corner into a close-quarters deathtrap.

Palace: There's no time for reflection even in this magnificent relic. What once was a museum dedicated to showing the glories of the past is now a battlefield, with a massive courtyard at the heart of its contested ground.

Transit: A Moscow metro station makes for close quarters and close-range combat. Trains pulling into and out of the station add to the danger as Ghosts and Bodark slug it out underground.

Earlier this month, Ubisoft Red Storm revealed a brand new DLC offering for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, their recently released third-person shooter.

The Khyber Strike DLC is available today and brings new maps, new game modes and new weapons to Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's online multiplayer mode. The three new maps include:

Switchback: Step off the main road leading down into the city and into a maze of ancient buildings and narrow alleys. The twists and turns of the alleyways turn every corner into a close-quarters deathtrap.

Palace: There's no time for reflection even in this magnificent relic. What once was a museum dedicated to showing the glories of the past is now a battlefield, with a massive courtyard at the heart of its contested ground.

Transit: A Moscow metro station makes for close quarters and close-range combat. Trains pulling into and out of the station add to the danger as Ghosts and Bodark slug it out underground.

Released this morning, the trailer above shows some of this brand new Ghost Recon: Future Soldier content in action.

Ubisoft Red Storm has announced a brand new DLC package coming to their recently released third-person shooter, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. The Khyber Strike DLC will feature 3 new maps, 1 new multiplayer game mode, 1 new Guerilla mode map and a level cap increase of 10 ranks. All of this content also comes with new corresponding achievements.

The 3 new maps are Switchback, Palace and Transit:

Switchback: Step off the main road leading down into the city and into a maze of ancient buildings and narrow alleys. The twists and turns of the alleyways turn every corner into a close-quarters deathtrap.

Palace: There's no time for reflection even in this magnificent relic. What once was a museum dedicated to showing the glories of the past is now a battlefield, with a massive courtyard at the heart of its contested ground.

Transit: A Moscow metro station makes for close quarters and close-range combat. Trains pulling into and out of the station add to the danger as Ghosts and Bodark slug it out underground.

The Guerilla mode map is called Village and takes place in a peaceful country village, suddenly caught up in the maelstrom of war. 

Finally, we have 'Takeover', the brand new multiplayer game mode. In Takeover, players face off in a classic team deathmatch style game mode...with a twist. Both teams have objectives to defend/attack in addition to the straight forward battle to be the first side to reach the set amount of kills first. Controlling the objective earns your team a bonus score multiplier.

Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's Khyber Strike DLC will be available on October 10th for 800MSP/$9.99.

Last month, Ubisoft revealed that the next DLC offering for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier would be called Raven Strike. Well, now we're getting our first good look at the content in a behind the scenes video released moments ago.

In this episode of Inside Recon, Community Developer Zack Cooper gives us a great overview of what to expect in Raven Strike. The DLC is mainly geared towards singleplayer, and expands the campaign significantly. All told, there are three brand new missions in Raven Strike, including:

• Secure Dawn
• Cold Walker
• Argent Thunder

What's more, all of these missions will be playable cooperatively with up to four other players. Raven Strike concludes with a brand new Guerilla Mode map, which we believe will be previewed in a later episode of Inside Recon.

Having trouble picking out the perfect class for your style of playing in Ghost Recon: Future Soldier? Each of the classes in the game is balanced well and offer something valid and important to every match but which one is right for you?

To help make that decision a little easier, one of our shooter veterans - Samson - is going in-depth with each class and giving a broad overview on what the class offers players. As Samson illustrates in the video above, the Engineer is pivotal in every match, regardless of game mode, as he is one of your only sources of intelligence on the enemy team. Samsong brings years of experience to the fold with this class overview, and we're looking forward to bringing you his follow up pieces in which he'll discuss the Rifleman and Scout classes!
