The trailer also has some info concerning the game’s GameStop-exclusive pre-order content. It’s a few suits and weapons; a special goggle color; and a co-op mission. It may well all be seen on the end of the trailer:

Once this update is live we can communicate this via the Eidos Montreal Community channels.”
