Certain Affinity announced today that it is working on brand new downloadable content for its popular action-RPG Crimson Alliance. The DLC, the Vengeance Pack, will be released on Xbox Live Arcade on October 12. The Vengeance Map Pack lets Crimson Alliance players team up with three other players and continue their adventure cooperatively through the perilous lands of Byzan.

“From the start we wanted to keep the adventure going by giving players new places to explore with their friends. When we finished the game back in May we had a few months to wait before the Summer of Arcade was over. So we devoted ourselves to building the kind of maps that we wanted to play: fiendishly difficult ones that are perfect for co-op,” said Max Hoberman, President of Certain Affinity.

The Vengeance Pack also contains new campaign levels that put players in a race against the clock to destroy two dangerous new threats. The pack also offers a new Challenge Map called Fistful of Coins, which promises to test players with a seemingly never-ending stream of enemies, with mountains of gold at stake. Other new features include new loot to collect, and new enemies to keep players on their toes.

The Vengeance Pack will cost 240 Microsoft Points and will be available from the game's main menu at launch. It will weigh in at right around 40 MB.
