A new batch of downloadable content is coming next month to expand the world of "Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain." According to PlayStation Lifestyle, the DLC will bring three new maps called Coral Complex, Rust Palace, and Azure Mountain. The content will also introduce a character, Quiet, to the game.

Here are the details about the new arenas in the DLC coming in March:

Coral Complex: A dedicated Motherbase environment that allows players to access tall towers and use storage containers and other internal areas as cover for tactical advantage. Coral Complex combines open areas with lots of hiding opportunities.

Rust Palace: Set in Afghanistan, the Rust Palace is a large multi-level building. The skeletal nature of the abandoned and decrepit building means that cover is scarce, while the internal areas feature a lot of dusty rooms and high-up sniping positions.

Azure Mountain: An outdoor plain set under Africa's scorching sky. A small cluster of buildings offers limited cover, with only crumbling walls and occasional scrubland surrounding the massive rock known locally as the Cradle of Spirits.

As for Quiet, the character will have the ability to temporarily go invisible and even boost movement speed.

Bundled with "Cloak of Silence" is a new "Metal Gear" online feature called Appeal Action, which allows players to execute different poses. The DLC includes four Appeal Action packs priced individually at €1.99 each: Basic Appeal Pack, Battle Appeal Pack, Dance Appeal Pack, and Hero Appeal Pack.

There is also news of a free update that will launch with the DLC next month. The update, called the Sabotage game mode, will have players fighting for control of an enemy missile.

The DLC, which includes the three maps and Quiet, is priced at €3.99. Game developer Konami has yet to reveal pricing outside of Europe and an exact release date for the DLC.

"Metal Gear Solid V" is available on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
