The new Angel City Map won't unlock for general Titanfall 2 players until December 3, but anyone who pre-ordered will be able to get in on the action as soon as the contennt update rolles out.
You'll notice that one of the additions is an in-game store; this is where Titanfall 2's premium add-ons come into play. According to the Titanfall blog, the in-game store will offer strictly cosmetic items - and there'll be no loot crate nonsense.
"We will have no in-game currency exchange. No locked loot boxes, crafting shards or pay-to-win weaponry. No RNG. If you see something you like, you buy it and that’s it," Respawn wrote.
"These in no way effect stats and are purely cosmetic. We will have two Prime Titans available at launch. They have new chassis and assassinations but function the exact same way as their original counterparts."
Respawn said this first content update "is just the beginning" of its plans for Titanfall 2. In 2017, it expects to offer "more drops that will differ in size and scope" including more free maps, modes and weapons.
As for the rest of 2016, Respawn plans to introduce game mode twists to Titanfall 2, host double XP weekends, highlight top Networks (clans) and run several giveaways across its social channels.
