More Revengeance add-ons incoming

We’ve known about the two Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC packs ‘Jetstream’ and ‘Blade Wolf’ for some time, and Konami has now announced that both of these story expansions will release sometime in April for PS3 and Xbox 360 (although in the US they’re PS3 exclusive, so Xbox gamers go without). The only confirmed price so far is $6.99.

If you’re looking for some Metal Gear Rising to keep you busy in the meantime, the VR Mission Expansion for Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is already out on the EU PS Store, priced £1.99 or for completely free until 3 April in the US, and is also available on Xbox Live in Europe, priced 240MSP.…

At last, the first opportunity for some non-Battlefield Premium members to sample End Game – the final piece of Battlefield 3 DLC – as it’s scheduled to arrive on the PlayStation Store today, priced £11.99/$14.99.

So it’s now only regular Xbox 360 gamers who don’t have access to the DLC – they’ve got another week to wait before End Game arrives on Xbox Live on 26 March.

End Game introduces new vehicles (including dirt bikes), new maps, and the return of the classic Capture the Flag mode. Here’s a launch trailer:
