Has anyone downloaded yet? Is it an entirely new game mode?
New map for horde mode, has exclusive rewards that might never come back, will later be replaced with other rewards once christmas passes.

Neat so even Fireteam Elite gets some FOMO stuff.
ffs
Can you outline the rewards?

Here ya' go. (https://www.aliensfireteamelite.com/en/community/ruptured-cistern-new-vertical-gameplay-and-limited-time-holiday-rewards/)
Yes. It a new game mode, similar to horde and restock but with a bit more of a vertical twist.
Unfortunately the new update comes with no new players.
I had the chance to have a quick play of this one this morning before work with RidgeTop. Props to Cold Iron, they took the criticism on about the first Horde map and sorted it with this. Much more open, with progression through the map, forcing you to change location. I dig it. Really did enjoy this.
I got one of the new weapon skins and one decal just on this single playthrough. There's 2 winter themed skins and 6 decals. I think they look a little silly, but I like the spirit of them. Got until mid-Jan when the next update drops to get them, so plenty of time.

I got a bunch of random attachments in my inventory when I loaded up for the first time too. Not sure if they came with this, or I just missed them from the last update?
Gave this a go last night and its really fun. I'm glad to see the developers are still adding content for this game since day 1. I really hope this continues. I am truly hoping the Devs can finally get a "Raid" going for this game (an actual 5, 10, 12 man raid). Boss fights, Trash Mobs, Loot, Etc...It would be awsome especially with a game like this.
This was short and sweet, glad it was free.
I've really been enjoying this addition. I'm hoping we'll see new maps added for each of the modes over Year 2.
Hicks are we getting more campaign missions for year 2?
There's been no confirmation. But if they follow the old pre-Disney plans I've seen, they should be doing more.

I will have my Pala Station excursion!
It'd make sense to get one eventually! It'd be an entirely new visual aesthetic and that's one of things I did enjoy about the game, the campaigns are all very different from each other in that regard. An Aliens feel would be a nice addition to the game.
But in the sequel!
Any word on an upcoming DLC?
I assume we're not getting any now, but rather this new game instead.

I mean they did say in their last press statement that there will be "long requested updates" coming to AFTE.
QoL and updates and new shit for Alpha and Beta.....so what can that be? and how long will that take?
This game deserves a health shot of vitamin A and B for sure not another short ended content update. Something like that won't get people back considering they can swing their battle axes towards A:DD(if they haven't) and Robocop and Alan Wake 2.
If they want to compete, I only expect something large and unexpected. Like a full 3 mission pack that brings this games story full circle.
If they were smart they should. And considering that your icon on the PC for AFTE is red, and all the marketing material shows red hues for aliens making it such an abnormal glow for the xeno, I would highly consider for them to go red xenos next time round. Its an easy thing to do, and they could focus their efforts and making other stuff in the game! and the inclusion of red xenos pulls you towards why the Prowler was the way he was. Further more the lore even indicated Red Xenos in Alien Genocide.....just saying something simple like that coupled with a new campaign would be the biggest distraction this winter~!
