Now that the 'Tomb Raider' reboot is out it's time for inevitable DLC. One day following the game's release, Meagan Marie, Crystal Dynamic's community and communication manager, took the game's tumbler page to announce it.
No, it has nothing to do with the well-received single-payer campaign. Yes, it’s a multiplayer map pack called the "Caves and Cliffs Multiplayer Map Pack," and it is initially exclusive to Xbox Live. "Caves and Cliffs" offers three new maps for the price of 400 Microsoft points, the equivalent of five dollars. The pack goes on sale on March 19, though Marie did not say when Playstation or PC players can get cozy in that new map smell.
She details each map on the blog as:
Scavenger Caverns
An extensive subterranean network of caves used by the island’s scavengers as an underground prison
Cliff Shantytown
This scavenger settlement was built high up on the island cliffs. Its many layers hide some of the deadliest traps on the island
The Burning Village
A raging fire has embraced an abandoned Japanese village, the burning buildings offer multiple ways to escape or engage your enemies
Critics took to the reboot in a big way. The Xbox 360 version currently averages a respectable 86 on Metacritic. That said, most agree the weakest element of the game is the multiplayer, which Game Informer’s Matt Miller calls “lackluster.”
But hey, if shooting other gamers on a mysterious, tropical island is your kind of thing right now, then you’re in luck. ‘Far Cry 3’s’ multiplayer wasn’t so hot either.
