Brütal Legend downloadable content free for two weeks via PSN

Just because Rocktober is entering its last days doesn’t mean the metal has to die along with it.

Double Fine isn’t done melting faces online and is about the release a new map pack for Brütal Legend called “The Tears of the Hextadon” via PSN on November 5, 2009. PS3 owners will also be able to download the maps free until November 19, 2009. The Xbox Live DLC will probably come a couple of days earlier but Microsoft has it priced at 400 MS points (or US$5).

The “Tears of the Hextadon” pack will contain two maps called The Circle of Tears and Death’s Fjord and the Blade of Ormagöden axe that are available to anyone who downloads the pack. Each map has an elemental theme accompanying it. The Circle of Tears has a lot of water and Death’s Fjord takes place on an ice covered mountain path.

Brütal Legend’s multiplayer mode consists of picking one of three teams with different abilities. The goal is to destroy the other teams stage. You can call upon different character classes to fight with you by using fans who act as in game currency. It basically plays like a mix of standard hack-and-slash and real-time strategy genres.

Brütal Legend, featuring the voice of Jack Black, was released October 13, 2009, for PS3 and Xbox 360 and is rated “Mature” by the ESRB for blood and gore, intense violence, partial nudity, strong language and suggestive themes.
