Frink: Free Brink DLC, Next Week
Well, we already knew full well that the first add-on content for Splash Damage's bold team-based shooter Brink would be a freebie for a limited time, but what we didn't know is when it would turn up. Of course, I've gone and ruined all the mystery by writing it in the headline, haven't I? Man, I am an SEO expert's worst nightmare. 'Always ask a question if you want to soullessly farm traffic', that's the rule. Why don't we do that? Why don't we do it for every post? Why don't you read on to find out? Or at least to find out what's in Brink: Agents of Change? WHY DON'T YOU? WHY? DON'T YOU LOVE US? DON'T YOU WANT US TO HAVE PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS, HITS? WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?
Agents of Change, then. It contains two all-new environments, five new player abilities, two new outfits, and two new weapon attachments, and it's released on August 3 - as in, next Wednesday. It'll be free to download for the next two weeks, but if you're later than that you'll have to pay for it. It's free forever for those who did grab it on time though, don't worry -they're not going to drop a fee on you two weeks later.
Here's the full list of content. We've run it before, but hey, any excuse to bust out the 'Sad Punk':
