We Support an R18+ game Classification

When it comes to Red Dead Redemption we were pretty spoilt for riches to begin with. The fact Rockstar have been going overboard with the expansion packs is like even more delicious icing on top of some pretty damn delicious icing liberally smeared over a scrumptious cake.

So at this rate we're probably all going to get the cowboy video game equivalent of diabetes.

The Outlaws and Legends and Killers packs released in June added to the online competitive gameplay in Red Dead Redemption. The upcoming Liars and Cheats pack to be released on September 21 is designed to expand the free roam multiplayer experience, plus a few extra competitive modes to keep things interesting.

Here's the official details from Rockstar:

The Liars and Cheats Pack will contain a great range of new highly-requested features to expand the Free Roam world including Multiplayer Poker and Liar’s Dice, as well as a brand new Competitive Multiplayer gameplay mode.  The Liars and Cheats Pack will also include the content previously announced as the Free Roam Pack.  The Free Roam Pack was originally planned as a free download, but due to the platform networks’ restrictions on numbers of free packs we can give away (and our promise to bring you the free Hunting and Trading Outfits Pack – more on that below), we have instead added it to the Liars and Cheats Pack as one Free Roam release boasting the following features and more:

Multiplayer Poker and Liar's Dice Games
One of the most fan-requested features comes to multiplayer.

Multiplayer Horse Races
Ride out against your friends and foes online - with mounted combat guns blazing.

The Explosive Rifle
A devastatingly destructive new weapon with its own new single-player and multiplayer challenges.

7 New Gang Hideouts
Posse up and take on the new Hideouts together to level up quickly.

4 New Hunting Grounds
New Hunting Grounds are now visible on the map for all to see, with some of the most action-packed wildlife hunting yet.

Stronghold Competitive Multiplayer Mode
Teams take turns in attack and defense in multi-tiered Competitive games.

Posse Scoring and Leaderboards
Compare stats with other posses and compete to see who are the kings of the Free Roam frontier.

Plus, 15 additional multiplayer characters from the Red Dead Redemption storyline are being made available as multiplayer characters, and more all-new Achievements and Trophies.  

This pack will be released on September 21st worldwide for download on both PlayStation Network (AUD$15.95) and Xbox LIVE (800 Microsoft Points).

We also received word on the upcoming Zombie pack for Red Dead Redemption. Titled the Undead Nightmare Pack it's a mostly single player experience with John Marston trying to stop a bizarre plague that's turning his fellow frontier folk into freaky flesh guzzling fiends. The pack will have new gameplay mechanics, weapons, zombie animals, mythical creatures and a new secret location. No word on when it will be released yet other than before the end of the year but the price will be the same as the Liars and Cheats pack AUD $15.95 on the PSN or 800 MS Points on Xbox Live.
