From the press email:

Accessed via the Sleep Room Terminals, the new Invasion Mode allows players to join as either a Reagent or an Imposter. Only a limited number of Imposters can invade any given Trial, but while the others wait, they can be the eyes and ears of their murderous teammates. Each Imposter will get a chance to invade the Trial, as their peers succeed in their sabotage…or die trying.

Key Features of New PvP Invasion Mode:

• Become the Hunter — Stalk your prey from the shadows, utilizing stealth and subterfuge to sneak up on unsuspecting Reagents before going in for the kill.
• Surveil the Trials — Plan your route and attack strategy by carefully considering surveillance camera footage. Your fellow Imposters
• Don a Deadly Disguise — Dress yourself in the garb and skin of your targets to gain their trust. Then, when the moment’s right…
• Stab Them In the Back — Close-quarters combat is the only rule of engagement. Outwit your opponent with multiple blade strikes or a single, lethal stab attack. One slip up means certain death, ratcheting up the intensity in the high-pressure Trial arenas.

There will also be a new time limited event, new challenges and a new in-game store.
