[Datamining] File-by-file analysis of new PAK data additions in 2020-06-05 Experimental build (tl;dr nothing exciting)
Since I've seen some bogus speculation about what's in yesterday's Experimental build, I decided to have a look in the files myself. I did a "diff" of every package's contents, and what follows is a list of every file that was added – I didn't bother comparing file sizes of changed files, since those are probably 99.99% simple asset touch-ups. Added files and strings (see below) are by far the most likely indicators of coming features.
The full diff (too big for this post), with a few comments: https://gist.github.com/JPLeBreton/1e1082ec49147898076198c3040d3641
TL;DR I don't see anything here that hints at any new features other than the cross platform multiplayer stuff that has already been covered extensively. I did this mainly to confirm for myself that all the wild talk of OMG CONFIRMED new proc gen, new biomes, etc is totally unfounded. But here's the data, draw your own conclusions.
Of greater interest is my earlier dump of all the added strings, which include !!spoilers!! for coming weekend missions: https://gist.github.com/JPLeBreton/6b42a482336d3794f02019e54a5a4ef2
