Outlaws to the End was apparently only the beginning. Rockstar has recently revealed that they’re working on even more DLC for everyone’s favorite open-world western. Four completely new bundles of DLC goodness are bound for the Xbox Live and PSN, starting with the Legends and Killers pack in August and continuing through “the fall” with the Undead Nightmare (yes, you read that right) pack. Let’s take a look at the specifics, shall we?

This is the DLC list taken from Rockstar’s official site:

Legends and Killers Pack (Releasing beginning of August 2010)
New active map locations, characters and more:
  • 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
  • New Achievements/Trophies
  • Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE)
Liars and Cheats Pack
New Competitive Modes, Multiplayer Mini-games in Free Roam, and more:
  • ‘Attack and Defend’ Multiplayer Competitive Mode and Challenges
  • New Multiplayer Horse Races complete with mounted combat
  • Play as the heroes and villains of Red Dead Redemption as well as 8 additional multiplayer characters
  • Multiplayer versions of Liars Dice and Poker from the single-player game
  • Introducing a new weapon: the Explosive Rifle, with associated Challenges available in single-player and multiplayer
  • New Achievements/Trophies
  • Release date TBC
  • Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE)
Free Roam Pack
Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with new Modes, Challenges and Gang Hideouts to discover:
  • Additional Free Roam Challenges
  • New action areas and defensive placements
  • Posse Scoring / Posse Leaderboards
  • New ‘anti-griefing’ measures in Free Roam
  • Release date and pricing TBC
Undead Nightmare Pack
Ghost towns and cemeteries come alive in a West gone horribly wrong:
  • Brand new single player adventure, Challenges and quests
  • 8 New Multiplayer Zombie characters
  • Additional animals unleashed in the world
  • New Dynamic events
  • More details to follow…
  • Release date TBC
  • Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE)

Multiplayer Liar’s Dice and Poker? A slew of new Free Roam content (making it actually worthwhile)? “Anti-griefing” measures? New Dynamic events? Mother-fucking ZOMBIES?! If it weren’t for the fact that all these features will probably set me back about $40 (practically the price of a second game), I’d be needing a change of underwear. Even so, this pretty much guarantees that my copy of Red Dead Redemption won’t be leaving my hands for a really freaking long time.

    I’ll hold you to this, Rob Jr., master of “I DON’T WANNA PLAY WITH ‘YEEEEEWWW’” :P


  3. Funny, because the last time I asked you to play you turned me down. ;)
