The first part of the Heavy Rain DLC pack, Heavy Rain Chronicles: The Taxidermist, was originally expected to arrive when the game is released next week but has since been delayed. The first episode of the DLC is offered for free with the game when pre-ordering, but can be purchased separately from the PlayStation Store for $4.99.
The DLC will now be available to download on Thursday, 4th March 2010, “due to a delay by the publisher.” The delay, however, won’t be affecting the European release of the DLC, which will still be available to download on launch day.
