Kane & Lynch gets free DLC

by Mike on April 10th, 2008

New Kane & Lynch maps would improve its sweet multiplayer.

Here’s something that could slip by your radar: Eidos said it will release four new downloadable maps for the Fragile Alliance multiplayer in Kane & Lynch: Dead Men. Like anything I enjoy downloading, the DLC will be free on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. Strangely, there was no mention if the free goodies would be available for the PC.

The maps will be released in one pack entitled “The Dope Bag.” The press release gave a brief description of each map:

Take on local dope dealers and the Russian mafia at a construction site in “Clean Cut,” clash with the Yakuza in Tokyo in “Hooker’s Trail,” raid a drug baron’s mansion in a Venezuelan jungle in “Flying High” and ambush General Fuentes’ military convoy in the streets of Havana to steal the gold hidden in his vehicles in “Hasta La Vista.”

Up to eight players can team up in Kane & Lynch’s multiplayer against police or various enemies in a series of heist scenarios. The objective is to steal the bounty and make it to a getaway point. The winner is the player who escapes with the most loot.

If you recall ex-GameSpot editor Jeff Gerstmann’s video review, Kane & Lynch’s multiplayer is the “neatest” idea the game has to offer. This DLC would hopefully make up for the single player element’s sorry state.

When is this DLC coming out? You won’t have to wait long. “The Dope Bag” is set for release on April 17th.
