Fresh Kane & Lynch maps dated

Grab The Dope Bag in mid-April.

Eidos has plans to pop a fresh batch of Kane & Lynch maps on Live Marketplace and PSN this month.

Specifically these will be available on 17th April, and will be free. PC maps are currently unconfirmed.

Dubbed The Dope Bag, the pack will contain four rather different maps. Clean Cut is based around an LA construction site where the Russian Mafia deals drugs; Hooker's Trail has you clashing with Yakuza in Tokyo; Flying High offers up a drug baron's mansion in the Venezuelan jungle for raiding; and Hasta La Vista pops you in Havana where you will ambush a military convoy.

These are all for the Fragile Alliance multiplayer mode, where up to eight of you work together to get away with the bounty. However, there is only one winner, and that's the one who steals the biggest haul, so you must decide how long to co-operate before you make a break for it.

Kane & Lynch was released last November to solid applause. It has perhaps the grittiest and most original setting and story we've seen in a while. Pop over to our Kane & Lynch review to find out more.
