screenrant.com:

Saber Interactive has released an important update for, titled «Obelisk.» One of the main additions in the Obelisk update is a new replayable map for the Operations mode, also named Obelisk. This is set on the burial planet of Demerium, and all players can access this map, regardless of whether they own a Season Pass. The update also introduces a new enemy called the Tzaangor Enlightened. This fast-moving Chaos unit rides a Disc of Tzeentch and can be found in all Operations missions involving the Thousand Sons.

For those who felt the Season Pass was worth it and currently have it, a Dark Angels Chapter Pack is coming that includes a new Champion skin for the Bulwark class, weapon skins, a skin for the Storm Shield, and over 40 additional cosmetic items that represent different Dark Angels Successor Chapters. The update also brings technical improvements, like increased resolution and frame rates for PS5 Pro users. Also, PC users can finally take advantage of AMD's FSR 3 and Nvidia's DLSS 3 with frame generation support.

For this Operation, you’ll be sent to Demerium to rotate a replica of the obelisk to disrupt the flow of energy protecting the Aurora device. This operation takes place in parallel to the final events of the campaign. To reach the console control of the obelisk, you’ll have to make it through a tomb plunged into darkness. To make your progression even tougher, the Chaos forces see a new addition to their roster: the Tzaangor Enlightened, a new Majoris enemy! They will now appear in every PvE Operation with Chaos.

The Obelisk update has brought a lot of new content to including the new Operation map, which should make co-op more replayable because of its new PvE challenges. The new XP rewards based on how many enemies players defeat in Operations mode (called the «Extermination Bonus») should help players progress faster. There were also melee system fixes, which will make that system a lot better for players who have been having trouble with it.
