Update 1: Twisted Pixel just sent us some screens of the new maps…

Kotaku is reporting that ‘The Maw‘ developers Twisted Pixel are already hard at work on some DLC for the arcade title.  For those that have played the game this should come as no surprise.  While being a unique and very fun game to play I found it to be somewhat on the short end of the spectrum. With the three new DLC levels, whose releases will be spaced out, we will be able to fill in some more of the story as they will be acting as “deleted scenes” that take place between the retail levels. Here’s a little more info on the levels that will be coming with their own Achievement ad will run close to 100 MS Points.

“Brute Force will fill in some missing moments found between and original game’s second and third level, the team told me. In this level, Bounty Hunters have sent in members from their new elite strike force, the Brutes, to stop Frank and Maw.

In River Redirect, which occurs after the original game’s sixth level, Frank and Maw have to change the course of a rive to reopen their path past a raging fire.

The Speeder Lane level will take place after the original game’s seventh level and has Maw and Frank stealing a Bounty Hunter Speeder and using it to break through a blockade.”

There is no official date for the DLC but like many others that have enjoyed playing ‘The Maw’ I hope the first one shows up sooner rather than later.
