Brink DLC Available Now!
At long last, the first DLC pack for Brink is out. The DLC pack, titled “Agents of Change”, was released stateside late on Wednesday, August 3rd. At time of publishing, Agents of Change will be available free of charge, but only for the first 2 weeks. Let’s repeat that, just for proper impact…
Agents of Change will be free for the first 2 weeks only!
2 weeks… 14 days… A fortnight… And that’s counting out from yesterday, 08-03-2011. After that, the DLC will cost you—price currently unknown. All that having been said, act now and continue the battle for the Ark!
Note: This past weekend also saw the release of a cumulative update for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Brink. This brings the console releases up to current revision status, matching the PC version which has been receiving rolling updates since title launch. The cumulative update is mandatory in order to download Agents of Change.
Following is a catalog of what Splash Damage and Bethesda tell us Agents of Change is bringing to the game:
New Maps
- Founders’ Tower – The revolution finally reaches the island’s iconic spire and takes the battle for the Ark to dizzying heights.
