Rockstar has today revealed the co-op mission pack 'Outlaws To The End' for its western shooter Red Dead Redemption. The free mission pack will be released on 360 and PS3.
There will be six missions in total in the new DLC which will hit Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network in June. Players will be able to play through some of them with friends with up to four players.
"Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption offers players a whole new way to encounter the massive open world we've created," said Rockstar co-president Sam Houser, "but we felt the experience would not be complete without co-op game play."
"With these missions, we wanted to create new ways for players to share in the experience of engaging with this amazing landscape."
Rockstar haven't given an exact release date other than June but the game releases May 18 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the US, with a European release on May 21.
