New Map Screenshot Teases SOCOM: Confrontation DLC for Summer Release


* All new Area of Operation
* New Features
* New Game Mode
* New Maps
* New Characters
* New Weapons & Attachments
* New Music
* New Voice-Over




SOCOM: Confrontation will soon join the DLC fold, with new content scheduled to drop later this summer. While details on the new content are slim, the game's official site promises more information will be made available in the upcoming weeks. What we do know is the content will include a new area of operation, a new game mode, along with new maps (teased in the tiny image above), characters, weapons and attachments.

Audiophiles will also be happy to hear the game's music will be updated and players can select a new voice-over when the content arrives. Now that SOCOM: Confrontation has evolved beyond its original feature-sparse retail release, we're excited for new ways to get tactical on our online enemies.
