Electronic Arts and Double Fine Productions Inc. has announced that the first downloadable content for the heavy metal inspired third person action game Brutal Legend (PS3, Xbox 360) will be coming to PSN and Xbox LIVE this November.

The Brutal Legend Tears of the Hextadon map pack will include two new multiplayer maps; the Circle of Tears and Death’s Fjord:

In the first map, Circle of Tears, vile waters have carved a rough-hewn circular battlefield into a forsaken land that players must circumvent to destroy their opponent. In the second map, Death’s Fjord, players find themselves on an icy mountain pass with a dense cluster of fans that lie below, waiting to be harvested by those brave enough to capture them without cover from enemy attack. All players who download the new map pack will receive a free axe, the Blade of Ormagöden.

The Tears of the Hextadon map pack will be available on Xbox LIVE on November 3 for 400 MS Points and on PlayStation Network on November 5, where the two-map pack will be downloadable for free until November 19 and will cost  UK£ 3.99 (or about US$ 6.00).
