Microsoft has announced free content for the shooter starting on June 6, including new skills for the classes, two new difficulty levels, five new wing levels, and much more. If you haven't played the game itself, you can also do so courtesy of a free trial starting next week.

Examples include:
- Flow (engineers) - You take less damage while repairing fortifications
- Berserker (heavy) - Dish out more damage as your health gets lower
- Cloak (scouts) - You are cloaked when remaining still behind cover
- Steady Hand (sniper) - Less damage and camera shake while aiming or scoping
- Siphon (soldier) - Enemies drop more power when killed by planted grenades
Rise of the Horde also includes horde skill loot drops by bosses at waves 30, 40, and 50; the Inconceivable and Ironman difficulty levels; 500G of new achievements; five new wing levels; and more.
