Max Payne 3 Multiplayer DLC Plan For 2012

May 1, 2012

Rockstar announced via press release this morning their full planned lineup of multiplayer DLC for their upcoming release, Max Payne 3. The game releases on May 29th, and the first map pack will launch shortly thereafter in June.

This first pack, the Local Justice Map Pack, will include the Police Precinct map for Gang Wars, Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Payne Killer multiplayer modes. It will also include two additional maps for Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, and Payne Killer, as well as precinct-themed multiplayer avatar items, multiplayer challenges, and more.

As you may expect, Rockstar is offering a Rockstar Pass for all of the upcoming DLC at a special bundled discount. The Pass will cost 2400 MSP or $29.99 (PSN or PC) for all DLC releasing through the end of 2012. The Pass is already available for preorder through Xbox LIVE and PSN via Best Buy, GameStop, or PSN Store.

Their current schedule for the multiplayer DLC packs is as follows:

June 2012

Local Justice Map Pack

Summer 2012

Disorganized Crime Map Pack

Deathmatch Made In Heaven Mode Pack

Hostage Negotiation Map Pack

New York Minute Co-Op Pack

Fall 2012

Painful Memories Map Pack

Trickle Down Economics Map Pack

For all this, thirty dollars is quite the bargain if multiplayer packs are your bag.
