As previously announced, we've got a special and completely free bonus pack of Red Dead Redemption DLC coming as a show of appreciation for the awesome long-term support for the game's multiplayer modes since its release in 2010.

Today we can confirm the title for you: the Myths and Mavericks Bonus Pack will feature new fan-favorite multiplayer characters by popular demand (including a certain grizzled ol' gunslinger as pictured above) as well as new multiplayer locations for players of Deathmatch, Grab the Bag, Gang matches and other popular online modes to get busy in.

We expect the pack to be finished and available for download on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network in September.

Oh, also, yes â€“ for those who are asking about a return to the original Undead Overrun multiplayer mode settings â€“ we are planning to release a title update in the lead up to the new free DLC pack which will address that.

No SP additions? Too bad.

I like the DLC's name, 'Myths and Mavericks' makes it sound like they'll include some UN related stuff. I REALLYYYYYYYY doubt that, though

That new name only makes things even more mysterious! Glad we finally got some info... now to decipher what "Myths and Mavericks" actually means.

And notice how one of the tags is "Undead Nightmare". This wasn't present in the pre-announcement article.

One of the tags is Undead Nightmare because they are turning Overrun back to its original settings, i.e., not making retcher spit explosive in Sudden Death...

WAIT SEPTEMBER?!?! *groan*

I just jizzed myself nah but thank f**k. September can hardly wait it's gonna be awesome glad there gonna update undead overun as well as adding extra maps for bag and shootout mode. Landon Ricketts to be included as well although I'm not his greatest fan I'll be glad for him to be in it by far my most favourite character in the Mexican strand of the game plus the zombie Ricketts wasn't as good without having the original as a playable character thank you for the link.

Can't wait to run over HERBERT MOOOOOOON with my buffalo.

So happy we'll at least get Ricketts.

"Mavericks" has me holding out hope for real gunslingers but i'm sure that won't be the case.Either way, I'm glad they finally announced a release date (sorta)

Reuben-Cogburn · « **Reply #14 on:** July 27, 2011, 08:30:06 pm »

"Myth" could be a reference to Landon's status as a legend, but I somehow doubt it. It could apply to some mythical characters, perhaps the Sasquatch or the Strange Man. "Maverick" could point to Herbert Moon's radicalism.

i hope it opens up a few more gang hideouts..
every other player is gonna be landon ricketts..including me..hehe..cant wait..

Looking forward to all of this. Some new Gang Match locations will be great, Undead Overrun will be fun again, and the new characters will be brilliant. Hopefully we'll see Herbert Moon, De Santa and Javier Escuella with Landon Ricketts. It'll be funny to see a whole posse playing as either Landon Ricketts or his zombie counterpart.

I hope so too. I am already getting bored with what there is and there are so many areas where gang hideouts could be. Honestly just make Thieves Landing a big one. Otherwise make some that are so hard that they are close to impossible to beat but that scores big XP payouts. That and more cannons and Gatling guns. That big Mexican fort would be awesome too. Attack the army there.

Also I would really like to see more in Mexico in regards to banditos, uprisings and the military oppression.

Reuben-Cogburn · « **Reply #18 on:** July 27, 2011, 11:06:51 pm »

^Agreed. I want more gang hideouts in Mexico. There are only 4 there(if memory serves) while America has a whopping 11 gang hideouts. I'd love to see Torquemada made into a gang hideout, as well as the caves behind El Matadero.

For sure. I like that mine there on the back of the map in Mexico. Gould do another gold match there.

Another good idea would be roving gangs on the roads and the open country. Run into them and if you or your posse take them out you score XP.

Also would be cool to see Mexican raids into the USA that you could help to fight. Think Pancho Villa
