Bethesda has announced through their blog that Brink will be getting some downloadable content next week called “Agents of Change”. Even more importantly for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gamers, there will also be a patch to fix a ton of issues. The DLC will be released on August 3, and for the first two weeks, it’ll be completely free. After two weeks, it’ll cost $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points), so Bethesda is urging fans to pick this DLC up.
“Agents of Change” includes:
New Maps
* Founders’ Tower – The revolution finally reaches the island’s iconic spire and takes the battle for the Ark to dizzying heights.
