More DLC coming for Brütal Legend

By Ellie Gibson Published 10 December, 2009

More skins, weapons, maps and so on.

A second batch of downloadable content is on the way for heavy metal-themed action game Brütal Legend.

Titled Hammer of Infinite Fate, it includes three new outfits - Mountain Man, Black Metal and Zaulia. You also get seven more back patches.

There will be four new paint jobs for The Deuce and four more upgrades. These include the Oculus of the Lost, a GPS system, and the Eye of Sorrow - a weapon which draws upon the Sea of Black Tears to launch black projectiles of doom at enemies. You also get The Disgorger and the Coiling Maw.

On top of all that there are nine new achievements and six more heads to buy and unlock including Rima, Razputin, Dadbat Hunter, Kage the Kannonier and the game's creator, Tim Schafer.

And finally there are for new multiplayer maps - the Altar of Blood, Coiled Remains, Crucible of the Titans and The Amplified Cliffs.

"I'm excited about the beard, of course, and the new achievements and trophies," said Tim Schafer. "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."

The Hammer of Infinite Fate will be released on 17th December, priced at 480 Microsoft Points (£2.04 / €2.88) on Xbox Live. A European PSN price has yet to be announced but you can expect it to be around the same.

Brütal Legend scored a healthy 8/10 from Eurogamer when it was released earlier this year - read our review for the full lowdown.

    Great news. The DLC for AC2 should do something like this with the damn feathers.

    That is pretty crafty, including a GPS as bait for us OCD types.

    The Beard means I am sold

    Using maps and walkthroughs for games isnt something i like to do. In game GPS wont be an issue. Playing a game while holding a map just doesnt feel right imo. Thats why i dont killed every damn pigeon in GTAIV either. Using a map while looking for pigeons feel more like work than fun. If playing a game feel like work then something is terribly wrong. I love achievements and ussually collect them all but the collection ones that actually force you to use a map or achievements that forces you to boost is ridiculous. I dont bother with them. The collections in Batman AA was great though. No cheats needed.

    I don't see the point of gps style features that give everything away in openworld games. You end up looking up the map more than paying attention to the environment.

    Better to explore by yourself and miss a few things than spend the whole game trying to reach all the bloody blinking dots in the gps..

    Nobody forces you to use it. I love the idea.

    You mean it's better if the game cheats for you? I was so pissed when I found the first map to the all the "hidden" joker thingies and stuff on top of all the annoying handholding all along I stopped playing the game there and then. Really, if you're told where they are and how to get them, what's the point?

    17 December eh? Wait a few weeks and I fully expect to be able to buy this sadly underperforming title for £20 in the sales.
    Bargain.

    @jimboton

    I see your point - but to me its more about how to get them than finding out where they are. Im not a fan of collection in games anyway.

    @jimboton

    You ditched the best game of the year (IMHO) because it had a map to collect the Riddler cheats? Which weren't even the main focus of the game? Seriously?

    Wow. Each to their own, but you know you could have just not used the map?

  • jimboton #12 2 years ago

    @organica

    I ditched it when it became obvious the game wasn't going to let go of my hand even for the non essential stuff.
