Gearbox Software and 2K Games have revealed the name and details for the third DLC expansion to Borderlands. Called The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, the new content is pitched as having “never-before-seen enemies in a huge new environment complete with tons of brand new missions.” JoyStiq have reported that new weapons and items are also promised in the DLC.
Back in December, Square Enix hinted that downloadable content was being considered for Final Fantasy XIII. Now, a new quote from producer Yoshinori Kitase has somewhat confirmed the inevitability of extra content for the huge RPG. Kitase says, “We did prepare DLC but it will arrive a little later in the west.” The nature of the DLC content or Japanese release dates were not revealed.

In a Q&A post on the Rockstar blog, the studio has promised a “very good” 2010 to PlayStation 3 owners. Most GTAIV owners were upset that the The Ballad Of Gay Tony DLC never made it to the PS3, and Rockstar understand their frustration. In response to a question from a user regarding the missing DLC, Rockstar replied, “we understand the frustration of PS3 owners like yourself who haven’t been able to play any of our most recent releases. All we can say is that we at Rockstar promise to be very good to you with our releases in 2010. Please stay with us and stay tuned!”

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves will be receiving more downloadable content in the near future according to Siliconera. The Uncharted 2 demo will go live on the PlayStation Store next week, bringing with it multiplayer skins from other PlayStation titles including Resistance 2, Infamous, and Killzone 2. Best of all, the DLC pack will be free to download.
Uncharted 2’s co-op multiplayer missions are certainly popular among players, and its likely that Naughty Dog will be expanding the available missions. Speaking with G4, Naughty Dog’s Evan Wells has said “So for future DLC, could we add more co-op? Probably more in the arena-style type of gameplay, like our Survival and our Gold Rush modes.”
Assassin’s Creed 2 is getting two downloadable packs early next year, with the first pack out in January followed by another in February. The DLC packs, Battle of Forli and Bonfire of the Vanities, were originally supposed to be part of the main game, but was dropped due to time constraints. “I felt that, ‘Okay, there were too many things to do and to finish.’ So we said, ‘Okay, let’s take a portion of the game that was planned and we’ll give it in DLC.’ We’ll remove some stress to the team while giving more to fans and people who like Assassin’s Creed,” Patrice Desilets told Kotaku.
