It’s just been announced that the first downloadable content (DLC) for Brütal Legend, a two-map map pack, will be available early next month.

Called ‘Tears of the Hextadon,’ the Brütal Legend map pack will be available on November 3rd on Xbox LIVE Marketplace for 400 MS Points, and on the PlayStation Store on November 5th for free until November 19th, when an asking price of £3.99 will be implemented.

Tears of the Hextadon’s two maps, entitled Circle of Tears and Death’s Fjord, will expand on Brütal Legend’s Stage Battle multiplayer mode, while everybody who downloads the map pack will receive a free axe, awesomely named the ‘Blade of Ormagöden.’

President of Double Fine Productions, Tim Schafer commented:

“I play Brütal Legend online every night. And I need more maps! Circle of Tears is named after the crying of my vanquished foes on the battlefield, and Death’s Fjord is obviously a tribute to my Nordic ancestors, and their love of fan geysers and… Well, actually I just thought the name was cool. See you online!”

You can read a brief description of each map below:

“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.”
