Pah! Did You Think You Were Going To Get To Put Red Dead Redemption Down?

We're only just starting to get into the multiplayer, but we've passed the two-day mark in Red Dead Redemption. Things could end up very messy before this year is out. We're thinking 100 hours is not out of the question. Especially now Rockstar's detailed their future DLC plans for Red Dead Redemption.

The first update's due in August, with the "Legends & Killers" DLC pack. This is your standard-fare multiplayer shooter update, with nine new multiplayer maps and eight new characters (from Red Dead Revolver no less!) on offer. The pack will set you back $9.99 when it hits the PlayStation Network next month.

But, there's more. Rockstar's committed another three DLC packs which are set to launch throughout the rest of the year, adding new multiplayer mini-games, free roam challenges and even a horror twist on the wild west setting. We've dropped all the information after the jump.

“We want to continue to provide Red Dead Redemption’s fans with a steady supply of innovative new content,” said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. “Our goal is to continue to pack as much entertaining gameplay and as many surprises as we can into the massive world of Red Dead Redemption over the coming months.”
