Free Chromehounds content on the way

From Software's Chromehounds just came out in the US last week, but the tactical mech shooter is already due for a downloadable content pack, according to an announcement on publisher Sega's official forums for the game.

The downloadable content pack contains four items: three new Chromehound parts (two new arms and an armor upgrade) and a new color scheme. It isn't an overwhelming amount of extra content, but it will be free. Sega and From Software had server issues around the time of the game's US launch, and according to the announcement, making this download free is one way of thanking players for sticking with the game.

According to the post, the content pack will be available at midnight GMT on Wednesday (5 p.m. PDT on Tuesday). For more on Chromehounds, check out GameSpot's full review.
