Brutal Legend DLC incoming: 'Tears of Hextadon' announced photo

More is coming to Brutal Legend in Rock-November. Publisher Electronic Arts and developer Double Fine have just announced a downloadable map pack dubbed “Tears of the Hextadon.” The pack adds two additional maps -- Circle of Tears and Death’s Fjord -- to the Stage Battle component.

Circle of Tears, as described in the press release, is a “rough-hewn circular battlefield” that players will have to navigate in order to rock opponents. The other map, Death’s Fjord, is an “icy mountain path,” with fans waiting to be gathered at the bottom of the aforementioned.

The expansion is set to release on November 3rd via Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 400 Microsoft Banana Dollars (in moon speak). The PSN version of the content -- at least in the UK -- will launch on November 5th for free until November 19th, at which point it will be priced the equivalent as the LIVE version. All owners of the pack will receive a playable axe called “the Blade of Ormagoden” for their patronage.

[Update: The latest PS blog posting confirms that the two weeks of free on PSN is intended for the US as well.]

I'm glad to see Double Fine expanding on the game, but I'm not much of a fan of the multiplayer and.I don't know if I would pay $5 for the two maps.

I would totally buy this if not for the simple fact that my university's firewall keeps blocking certain Xbox Live titles from connecting. I have yet to be able to connect to a match in Brutal Legend, Ghostbusters, or Castle Crashers while attending class here. If not for the fact that I can at least still get a relatively good quality picture with Netflix streaming, I would cancel my Xbox Live subscription for awhile...

More single player would be better. I doubt I'll ever touch multiplayer.

Free is the right price for this.

"The PSN version of the content -- at least in the UK"

Canada is still considered a part of the UK to you Americans, isn't it? I'll probably buy it anyway to fund the creation of worthwhile DLC (in a magical ideal world at least), but free makes it infinitely more tempting.

Yeah the single player is criminally short. The world is so awesome and playing through the game barely scratches the surface (I didn't even stumble on the beer tree until end game) it really needs some more story and game play out there. Any single player content Id jump all over and pay unreasonable amounts for. Multiplayer? I dunno I can only rely on melting faces so long.

I would like some more single player stuff. But I'm one of the mutants that enjoys the RTS parts of the game. Even if the Brutal difficulty AI still stomps on me.
