Brutal Legend Gets First Map Pack DLC

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!"
