First Brutal Legends DLC out next week

Will be free for PS3 players for a limited time.

EA and Double Fine Productions have announced the upcoming release of Tears of the Hextadon DLC for heavy metal, third-person action game, Brutal Legend.

Released on November 3 for Xbox 360 and November 5 for PS3, Tears of the Hextadon feature two new multiplayer maps. All players who download the new map pack will receive a free axe, the Blade of Ormagöden.

In the first map, Circle of Tears, vile waters have carved a rough-hewn circular battlefield into a forsaken land that players must circumvent to destroy their opponent. In the second map, Death's Fjord, players find themselves on an icy mountain pass with a dense cluster of fans that lie below, waiting to be harvested by those brave enough to capture them without cover from enemy attack.

Tears of the Hextadon will be priced 400 MS Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and £3.99 on PSN, however, PS3 gamers will be able to download the DLC for free until November 19.
