Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier

Ubisoft has announced the first paid DLC for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier before the game has even released.

If you hadn’t already guessed, the Arctic Strike DLC pack takes you to the Arctic - who’d have thought it. It includes,  ”additional multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer mode, a new Guerrilla Mode co-op map and six additional weapons,” according to Ubisoft.

The DLC will be available on July 3 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and will set you back 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99. Announcing DLC before game has even launched appears to be the norm lately. Fans love extra content, but being told about more money you will be spending before you’ve even bought the game can leave a sour taste.
