Japan's biggest-selling Xbox 360 title, Hironobu Sakaguchi/Mistwalker's Blue Dragon, is set to receive a burst of downloadable content tomorrow at 8pm local time.

At that point, fans will be able to grab an update that introduces a pair of new difficulty modes ("hard" and "super hard"), which adjust enemy toughness, along with a "new plus" option that allows players who have finished the game to start again with their characters' stats intact.

What's more, the download won't cost anything, which is good news. And given that Blue Dragon is still yet to be dated in Europe, there's every chance we'll see these updates bundled into the three-DVD RPG when it launches here later this year.
