Before the game’s even gone on sale, Rockstar has announced DLC plans for Max Payne 3, and has introduced its online pass system dubbed Rockstar Pass. Details inside.
Rockstar promise to release new “multiplayer maps, modes, bursts, items, playable characters, challenges and more,” in the coming months on PSN, Xbox Live and PC.
“The story of Max Payne 3 begins in the single-player game and crosses over into the deepest multiplayer experience we’ve ever created. We intend to support the Max Payne community with new and innovative content well into the future,” Rockstar founder, Sam Houser said.
The first map pack is called Local Justice and will arrive in June featuring the Police Precinct map for Gang Wars, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Payne Killer multiplayer modes.
Local Justice will also include two additional maps for each mode and a new precinct-themed multiplayer avatar items and multiplayer challenges.
