News: Rocksteady! Brütal Legend to get more content

Grab your axe and prepare to bring down the hammer, Electronic Arts and Double Fine announced today that they are releasing a second downloadable content pack for Brütal Legend, titled Hammer of Infinite Fate.

Gamers can look to purchase the DLC on Thursday, Dec. 17 for 480 MS Points (Xbox 360) or $4.99 on the Sony Playstation Network.

The DLC will include a series of new skins, weapon upgrades, multiplayer maps and new achievements.

“I’m excited about the beard, or course, and the new achievements and trophies,” said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. “But the thing I really can’t wait to get my hands on is that Oculus of the Lost. Using it to find the last Bound Serpent isn’t cheating, because it looks so cool on my car.”

As far as new skins, players will be able to customize Eddie Riggs with three new outfits; the Mountain Man, Black Metal and Zaulia Threads. The Deuce will also see four new paint jobs and four new upgrades, including the omnipotent Oculus of the Lost, an all-seeing GPS for the world. Players can also expect to see the Eye of Sorrow, which harnesses the energy of the Sea of Black Tears, launching "black projectiles of doom" at enemies.

According to the release, "Hammer of Infinite Fate further expands the Brütal Legend Stage Battle multiplayer experience with four new mind-melting multiplayer maps; the Altar of Blood, Coiled Remains, Crucible of the Titans and The Amplified Cliffs. Each map features a completely unique environment tailored to the Gods of Metal, with an in-game element of surprise that puts a strategic twist to every Stage Battle."

Just in case you missed the first DLC, Tears of the Hextadon, you can find it for 400 MS Points or $4.99 on PSN.
