Red Dead Redemption isn’t coming out until May 18 (May 21 in Europe) but Rockstar Games have already announced a DLC pack for the open-world western. Hold off a bit on the nickel-and-dime theories, though. It’s gonna be released as a free download.

Red Dead Redemption isn’t coming out until May 18 (May 21 in Europe) but Rockstar Games have already announced a free DLC pack for the open-world western.

The free Outlaws to the End pack will add a co-op mode to the game. It will consist of six missions, each of which will support two to four players online. So far, three have been revealed with the others o be made public soon:

• Walton’s Gold – Walton’s Gang have taken control of a mining camp rich with gold. Fight through the camp and load your mine cart with as much gold as you can carry and get out as fast as you can – Walton’s boys have rigged the place to blow.
• The River – Ride a raft down river, taking out rebel encampments along the way until you reach the rebel stronghold of Nosalida and a final epic battle for the town’s massive weapons caches. Watch out for Gatling gun-equipped enemy rafts.
• Ammunition – The Mexican Army has the town of Tesoro Azul under siege. Storm the gates under heavy cannon, Gatling gun and sniper fire to destroy the Mexican artillery placements.

The DLC pack will also feature additional multiplayer XP rewards and brand new Achievements and Trophies to unlock. It’ll be available simultaneously on Xbox 360 and PS3 this June. Two more DLC packs are slated for release later this summer.
