After generously giving us the first DLC of Red Dead Redemption for free a few weeks ago, Rockstar is now talking business again with the announcement of 4 new packs that will be priced 800 Microsoft points ($9.99 on PS3) each. Unfortunately, nothing as exciting as what GTA IV's two big additional contents brought since it will simply be a way to add new multiplayer maps or characters (including Red Dead Revolver's hero), new game modes, new weapons, zombies, and, last but not least, the indispensable new achievements/trophies modern gaming now could not live without. The first pack will be released in early August and until then, you will find the first images inside.
As we failed to mention the content of the four packs when they were announced a little while ago, here they are now:
New active map locations, characters and more:
* Release date: beginning of August 2010;
* 9 new multiplayer map locations — more than doubling the amount of territories in the multiplayer competitive modes;
* 8 new multiplayer characters — play as characters from Red Dead Revolver;
* Introducing a new projectile weapon: the Tomahawk, with corresponding challenges for single-player and multiplayer gameplay;
* New achievements and trophies;
* Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE).
New competitive modes, multiplayer mini-games in Free Roam, and more:
* Release date: TBC;

* New achievements and trophies;

Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with new modes, challenges and gang hideouts to discover:

Love this game so much, but will skip all this pointless stuff.

Its a shame but it looks like we will have to wait for RDR2 before any new SP stuff arrives, but I shall enjoy this stuff too.
