Systemic Reaction has just released a new update for Second Extinction, adding new difficulty modes and other goodies.

The aptly named Insane difficulty mode ramps up the challenge with stronger enemies that will require perfect teamwork and some really good aiming skills, while the Hard difficulty mode provides a more balanced experience for players who have already mastered the base content but might not yet feel ready for Insane difficulty.

As you can probably gather from the video above, the new difficulty modes will reward you with new cosmetics and increased research so you can further customize your characters.

You can read the patch notes here, and Systemic Reaction have also shared a roadmap update here.
