SSX | New DLC dated

The two new pieces of DLC for SSX – Mt. Eddie and Classic Characters – will be available from 1 May as announced by EA.

The 1 May release date is most likely for Xbox Live and US PSN while the European PSN release date is most likely to be a day later – EA is still to confirm this.

Both pieces of DLC will be available separately for$6.00 each or you can grab them bundled together for $8.00.

The Mt. Eddie Pack includes the new Mt. Eddie map which is described as “an over the top Tricky-inspired, ultra-long track”. It features nine drops and also comes with a compilation of retro music – including two tunes from previous SSX games.

The Classic Characters Pack is exactly what it says it is – seven classic SSX cast members, each with their “own wardrobe of outfit colourways and unique snowboard.”

From the Official SSX Facebook Page:

After a week of teasing the community by slowly releasing puzzle pieces of a screenshot jam packed full of classic SSX elements, we revealed on Friday that we would be bringing some of that classic, retro fun from previous SSX titles to the newest SSX release with our upcoming DLC.
Today we’re proud to announce that on 05.01.2012 we’ll be releasing the SSX Mt. Eddie & Classic Characters Bundle Pack. Mt. Eddie is a TRICKY inspired, ultra-long mountain that features 9 new Race and Trick drops, and is filled with huge kickers, ridiculous grinds, a Big Air drop, fireworks, and a whole lot more – the classic SSX experience! This DLC bundle pack also comes with 7 retro SSX characters from SSX 3 and Tricky, each with a unique snowboard. And as if that weren’t enough, this pack also includes 3 classic music tracks.

You can even get these elements separately in the SSX Mt. Eddie Pack or the SSX Classic Characters Pack. Leading up to the May 1st launch we’ll be showing off what exactly we’re releasing with character images, gameplay videos and a live Q&A with the development team talking about the new DLC.

The Classic Characters Pack will run $5.99, as will the Mt. Eddie Pack, while the double bundle will be $7.99.

Mt. Eddie will include:
• Mt. Eddie – an over the top, TRICKY inspired, ultra-long track (9 drops)
• Retro music tracks including two from previous SSX games

The Classic Characters pack will have:
• SSX classic cast featuring 7 characters
• Each character comes with an assortment of outfit colourways
• 7 unique snowboards – one for each of the characters in the pack
