Rockstar unveils Red Dead Redemption co-op pack

Rockstar has lifted the lid on a downloadable co-op pack for upcoming Wild West sequel Red Dead Redemption, entitled Outlaws to the End.

Due out in June on Xbox Live and PSN free of charge, the DLC throws in six fresh multiplayer missions for gamers to tackle, ranging from anywhere between 2-4 players. Rockstar’s press blurb has kindly detailed three of them below:

“Walton’s Gold”

Walton’s Gang have taken control of a mining camp rich with gold. Fight through the camp and load your mine cart with as much gold as you can carry and get out as fast as you can – Walton’s boys have rigged the place to blow.

“The River”

Ride a raft down river, taking out rebel encampments along the way until you reach the rebel stronghold of Nosalida and a final epic battle for the town’s massive weapons caches. Watch out for Gatling gun-equipped enemy rafts.

“Ammunition”

The Mexican Army has the town of Tesoro Azul under siege. Storm the gates under heavy cannon, Gatling gun and sniper fire to destroy the Mexican artillery placements.

Rockstar founder Sam Houser commented: “Multiplayer in Red Dead Redemption offers players a whole new way to encounter the massive open world we’ve created, 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.”

Red Dead Redemption is scheduled for release in North America on May 18, with a European launch following on May 21.
