In this day and age you can't have a game release without delivering on downloadable content immediately after launch. Therefore, Brutal Legend has let the "man" get the best of him and plans to do the same and release DLC in the coming weeks. DLC that will be free for Playstation 3 owners.
The Tears of the Hextadon map pack contains two new maps for Brutal Legend's RTS multiplaer mode. The Circle of Tears map is surrounded by water, while the Death's Fjord map pits sides against one another in a icy mountain path where players must brave wide open space to reach the ghoulish fan geysers to generate an army.
"I play Brutal Legend online every night," said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. "And I need more maps! Circle of Tears is named after the crying of my vanquished foes on the battlefield, and Death's Fjord is obviously a tribute to my Nordic ancestors, and their love of fan geysers and… Well, actually I just thought the name was cool. See you online!"
As mentioned previosuly, the map pack with be free for Playstation 3 owners from November 5, when it goes live, til November 19. Xbox 360 owners will be able to purchase the map pack two days earlier on November 3 but have to shell out 400 MS Points in order to continue the rockin'.
