Bulletstorm is out now in North American on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Other than the usual self-promotion in the press release regarding initial review scores (9.25 from Game Informer) and the expected mention of the Gears of War 3 Beta (“Gamers will need the Epic Edition disc in order to play the Gears of War 3 beta”), there was also mention of the first DLC for the game.
Entitled the ‘Gun Sonata’ Pack, it will be out “this spring” (Northern Hemisphere) and it will not be free.
Featuring three new maps for Anarchy multiplayer mode, from the wretched Sewers of Stygia to the dilapidated ruins of Hotel Elysium and the open spaces of Villa, the Gun Sonat a Anarchy maps provide even more settings for players to work together in order to pull off fantastic team skillshots. In addition to the new Anarchy maps, Gun Sonat a will also introduce two new Echo mode maps, including Crash Site, where Final Echo soldiers must deal with the ramifications of their crashed ship, and Guns of Stygia, in which a captive commando escapes from an enemy prison. Completely new to the Bulletstorm experience, Crash Site and Guns of Stygia offer brand new challenges for those competing to top personal high scores and leaderboard rankings. Two new Leash enhancements, the Flamingo and the Pulp, make it even more enjoyable to kill with skill and style.
The Gun Sonata downloadable content will be available this spring for 800 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and £7.99 on the PlayStation Network.
