Brink : un patch maintenant, du DLC bientôt

Splash Damages devrait bientôt sortir le premier DLC pour Brink, son dernier FPS. Ce premier DLC s'intitulera Agents of Change, contiendra deux nouvelles cartes (La Tour des Fondateurs et Les Labos), cinq nouvelles aptitudes (Drone, Grenade au napalm, Pyromine, Unité de régénération mobile et Scanner stratégique), deux nouvelles tenues (le Patibulaire et le Rosbif) et deux nouvelles armes (Baïonnette et Bouclier d'arme), et sera gratuit pendant les deux semaines suivant sa sortie, aussi bien sur PC que sur consoles. Voilà un geste bien noble.

À côté de ça, la version PC du jeu a eu droit à un bon gros correctif dont on vous colle le changelog juste après. Les versions consoles auront droit à ce patch en même temps que le DLC, qui devrait logiquement arriver début juillet.
