Electronic Arts today announced a new batch of downloadable content from Tim Shafer’s Brutal Legend by the name of “Hammer of Infinite Fate” coming to PS3 and Xbox 360 next week.
The content for the third-person metal-infused action/adventure game introduces a series of new skins, weapon upgrades, multiplayer maps and unlockable achievements to the world.

With the DLC gamers can deck out main character Eddie Riggs in three new outfits, namely the Mountain Man, Black Metal and Zaulia Threads and can enjoy four new multiplayer maps and new outfitting, including the Oculus of the Lost, a GPS-type device for Eddie’s ride, The Deuce which points to valuable items.
Creator and designer Tim Schafer loves his game and is an all-around funny guy.
“I’m excited about the beard, or course, and the new achievements and trophies,” said Tim Schafer, President of Double Fine Productions. “But the thing I really can’t wait to get my hands on is that Oculus of the Lost. Using it to find the last Bound Serpent isn’t cheating, because it looks so cool on my car.”
The Hammer of Infinite Fate comes to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 Dec. 17 for $4.99 and 480 MS Points ($6) respectively. Why do 360 gamers need to pay more? Could be a misprint (we’ll update if EA does) or maybe EA just doesn’t like you 360 fans.
Goodness gracious this game has the best multiplayer I’ve played in a long time. I just hope this DLC works with matchmaking. So far I could only get the first two DLC maps working with friends and custom matches, which is too bad because The Circle of Tears is my favorite map and I want to play it with more people.
But this time we get four maps instead of two, so it’s a much better deal and more fans will like it.
