Those playing the pre-order beta of New World Interactive’s FPS Insurgency: Sandstorm will be thrilled to hear that a major update is on the way. Arriving on November 8th, the update will be bringing many requested changes. Insurgency: Sandstorm is set to launch for PC on December 12th, and will be coming to consoles in 2019.

 
This update includes a brand new map, Precinct, a new Insurgent weapon, as well as various new options, tweaks, and fixes.

 


 
The new updateteaser trailer showcases Precinct, a large scale urban map set in a city within the fictional, contemporary conflict of Insurgency: Sandstorm. Tight corners, broken barricades, destroyed streets of burnt-out cars and makeshift roadblocks epitomise this map, bringing the frenetic action and tactical squad-based play of Insurgency to a brand new, urban locale.

 
Other improvements include graphical options, anti-aliasing, animation and character models, plus related optimisation improvements to help the game run better on more systems, along with additional cosmetics, and a new Alpha AK weapon. These, plus additional server browser improvements, will continue to see changes in the run up to release.

 
Finally, gameplay changes will target everything from hundreds of improvements and bug fixes to the specifics of movement speeds, weapon statistics, map layouts, an Unreal Engine update to version 4.20, and more. A full changelist will be available upon release.
