Brutal Legend Gets First Map Pack DLC

October 27, 2009 - The first downloadable map pack for Brutal Legend will be coming next month, publisher Electronic Arts announced today.

The "Tears of the Hextadon" pack adds two new additional multiplayer maps -- Circle of Tears and Death's Fjord -- as well as a free axe, Blade of Ormagoden.

The pack will be available on Xbox Live starting November 3 for 400 Microsoft Points ($5) and on PlayStation Network starting November 5 for free until November 19 where it will then cost $4.99.

"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!"
