Max Payne 3 Hostage Negotiation DLC Release Date

Rockstar has revealed that Max Payne 3’s Hostage Negotiation downloadable content will be released for all platforms on October 30th. The pack will be available for $9.99 (800 Microsoft Points), or free to players who purchased the Rockstar Pass.

As Rockstar detailed earlier this month, Hostage Negotiation includes four new maps: Club Moderno, Estádio Do Galatians, O Palácio Strip Club and Favela Heights. The pack also includes new items, new weapons and a new avatar faction.

In a blog post on its official site, Rockstar showed off arm bandages and tattoos as accessories that can be equipped on the Filhos De Ogum avatar and revealed that “each faction's customized Heavy Helmet will reduce all damage taken to the head by 75%.”

Rockstar says that more details on the pack will be revealed next week, so keep checking back for new information on all four new maps. Until then, check out our Max Payne 3 wiki guide for all the details about the game.

Free Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Add-On Arriving in August

Max Payne 3's next multiplayer expansion, Disorganized Crime, will be free. Rockstar Games says it will have players fighting "above the streets surrounding Max’s old apartment in the new Hoboken Rooftops multiplayer map." In addition, Disorganized Crime adds more aggressive AI, explosive rounds, and headshot-only kills for Score Attack.

Following up in September is the Hostage Negotiation map pack, which will cost $10 on Xbox Live, PlayStation Network on PC. Rockstar has yet to provide details about the new multiplayer levels included here.

The following month adds two more $10 downloadable add-ons for Max Payne 3 multiplayer. Both the Painful Memories Map Pack and Deathmatch Made in Heaven Mode Pack (which includes the content from the previously revealed New York Minute co-op pack) will arrive at an unspecified date in October.

The Local Justice add-on, which includes three new maps and some new weapons, recently released on consoles, and will hit PC on August 9 at a discounted price of $5.99 for the first week.
