Rockstar released some new details about about the upcoming downloadable content packs for Red Dead Redemption. The Liars and Cheats Pack will be available on September 21st on both PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE.
"The Liars and Cheats Pack will contain a great range of new highly-requested features to expand the Free Roam world including Multiplayer Poker and Liar’s Dice, as well as a brand new Competitive Multiplayer gameplay mode. The Liars and Cheats Pack will also include the content previously announced as the Free Roam Pack. The Free Roam Pack was originally planned as a free download, but due to the platform networks’ restrictions on numbers of free packs we can give away (and our promise to bring you the free Hunting and Trading Outfits Pack – more on that below), we have instead added it to the Liars and Cheats Pack as one Free Roam release boasting the following features and more:
Multiplayer Poker and Liars' Dice Games One of the most fan-requested features comes to multiplayer.
Multiplayer Horse Races Ride out against your friends and foes online - with mounted combat guns blazing.
The Explosive Rifle A devastatingly destructive new weapon with its own new single-player and multiplayer challenges.
7 New Gang Hideouts Posse up and take on the new Hideouts together to level up quickly.
4 New Hunting Grounds New Hunting Grounds are now visible on the map for all to see, with some of the most action-packed wildlife hunting yet.
Stronghold Competitive Multiplayer Mode Teams take turns in attack and defense in multi-tiered Competitive games.
Posse Scoring and Leaderboards Compare stats with other posses and compete to see who are the kings of the Free Roam frontier.
Plus, 15 additional multiplayer characters from the Red Dead Redemption storyline are being made available as multiplayer characters, and more all-new Achievements and Trophies."
Red Dead Redemption Liars and Cheats Pack will be available on September 21st worldwide on both PlayStation Network ($9.99) and Xbox LIVE (800 Microsoft Points).
Undead Nightmare Pack:
"Unleashed upon the world of Red Dead Redemption, the Undead Nightmare Pack will feature an entirely new single-player campaign that follows John Marston as he tries to find a cure for the highly infectious zombie plague that has spread across the frontier.
In addition to the lengthy single-player adventure, The Undead Nightmare Pack features brand new gameplay mechanics, weapons, zombie animals, mythical creatures and even a brand new secret location.
All this, plus some new multiplayer modes and much more to be revealed in the weeks ahead. The Undead Nightmare Pack will be available simultaneously for download via PlayStation Network ($9.99) and Xbox LIVE (800 Microsoft Points). We'll have lots more info soon."
Free Downloadable Goodies:
"Additionally, we are going to be bringing you some free downloadable goodies in the next few weeks including the anticipated Hunting and Trading Outfits Pack which will give everyone the Savvy Merchant and Expert Hunter Outfits and related Challenges, plus special compatibility to enable everyone online to see the Red Dead Revolver multiplayer character skins being used by those who have purchased any of the DLC – we will have full details on this very soon."
"Composed by the critically acclaimed recording artists, Bill Elm and Woody Jackson and produced by David Holmes, the Red Dead Redemption Soundtrack Album is a lush and emotive score that captures the haunting sound of the dying American West and Mexico at the turn of the century. Filled with sweeping strings, martial timpani, and piercing horns, this music was performed on authentic instruments of the period.

Red Dead Redemption Legends and Killers DLC Pack will be available on PlayStation Network and XboxLive tonight at midnight Eastern time and Rockstar released some last minute details.
"The Red Dead Redemption Legends and Killers Pack of DLC coming to Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network tomorrow features 9 unique new Multiplayer Map Locations spread across the vast open world of Red Dead Redemption's Multiplayer.
Each new map location has been updated and tailored specifically to enhance multiplayer combat. These new locations, along with added game modes for certain existing maps, provide over 30 new and unique multiplayer gameplay variations. Read on for an in-depth look at each of the new locations - including some of the strategic gameplay each provides."
Tall Trees Modes Available: Hold Your Own The snowy highlands of Tall Trees create an awesome backdrop for epic Hold Your Own matches. Because of the vast expanse of this map, you’ll probably have most success on horseback. This map is all about coordinated tactics, go in single-handed and expect to be taken down very quickly.
Thieves' Landing Modes Available: Gang Shootout, Gold Rush, Grab The Bag, Hold Your Own, Shootout Under a constant river fog, the dark and ominous town of Thieves Landing provides lots of crossfire opportunities with its unique combination of cover and open space. Look for the buildings you can climb up on, but be careful of the surrounding water. With only a couple of bridges connecting the various areas of this map, players need to be extra vigilant in Thieves Landing because someone will always be ready to take you down.
Fort Mercer Modes Available: Gang Shootout, Gold Rush, Grab The Bag, Shootout Bill Williamson’s last known whereabouts in New Austin, Fort Mercer offers a close quarters paradise, with the occasional guard tower sniping from above. Players can use the various corridors to their advantage and use their weapons strategically. If you are in a narrow space, your shotgun can be a useful tool or if you’re perched on a high building with distance to play with, then your rifle may be your best bet.
Manzanita Post Modes Available: Grab the Bag, Hold Your Own The road through Manzanita Post is the quickest way to the other team’s base but also the most exposed. The forest in the eastern half of the map provides a less exposed alternate route and also features some conveniently placed gatling guns for added firepower along the way. Utilize the watchtowers and the ridge located in the west segment of the map for an elevation advantage to provide cover for your teammates and prevent the opposition from stealing your team’s bag.
Blackwater Modes Available: Gang Shootout, Gold Rush, Grab The Bag, Hold Your Own, Shootout While modern settlements like Blackwater accelerated the demise of the old west, their purpose-built block-like design serves up an awesome location for all the multiplayer modes, with tons of cover, sniping perches and choke points throughout. With rooftops, narrow allies, and long streets lined with storefronts, Blackwater adds intense urban combat to the world of Red Dead multiplayer.
Punto Orgullo Modes Available: Hold Your Own Bases are located at each end of Sidewinder Gulch and knowledge of the mazelike gorges that run through the center of this map is key to forming a cohesive assault on the opposing team's base. You can get to the other side of the map by the main road, but are left vulnerable to incoming fire due to its open nature and lack of cover. Whistle for a horse to gain a speed advantage and use a mounted effort of road and ravines to quickly get into the other base to grab the bag and escape back to your base. The elevated hilltops located at the north of the map give players an added sight advantage.
Escalera Modes Available: Gang Shootout, Shootout The town of Escalera is defined by various elevation changes. Controlling the villa watchtowers in the northern section of the map will give players the best vantage points to pick off opposing players. A sniper rifle is located at the Market on the lowest level to aid in getting players off of the watchtowers. Utilize interiors and cover while minimizing time spent in open areas vulnerable to fire from upper levels of the map.
Hennigan’s Stead Modes Available: Grab the Bag, Hold Your Own Teamwork is of utmost importance due to the open nature of this map. The trees provide some helpful cover as your team makes their way across the vast plains to the other base. Horses will prove useful so whistle for one and work together to time your assault while leaving a couple players behind to protect your bag. Use the deadly new Tomahawk weapon in close quarters battles to help complete new Challenges.
Rio Bravo Modes Available: Gang Shootout, Gold Rush, Grab The Bag, Shootout The mountainous Rio Bravo area lies between Tumbleweed and Fort Mercer. The numerous winding narrow pathways between the foothills, and the intentionally restricted choice of weapons make matches fought here extremely tense, nerve-wracking experiences. Because opponent blips only appear on your mini-map when people fire their weapons or sprint, you’ll find people can jump out at you at any point, so look out for Tomahawk stealth kills.
Additionally, three of the original Multiplayer Map Locations in Red Dead Redemption will be getting additional game modes as part of the Legends and Killers Pack. Diez Coronas: Grab The Bag Pacific Union Railroad Camp: Gang Shootout, Shootout Tumbleweed: Gold Rush, Hold Your Own Look for the Legends and Killers Pack download to pop up on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network starting tonight at midnight Eastern time.
