Rockstar Games Announces South Central Upgrade and Content Pack for Midnight Club: Los Angeles at a nice price.

Rockstar Games staff have been herded into a coding dungeon over the past few months, directed to produce a huge amount of extra content for the street racer Midnight Club: los Angeles.

Emerging from the bunker, avoiding the glare of the sunlight, they have given details of the content, and it comes in the form of two downloads.

First up the free content: The "South Central Upgrade Map" provides players with a whole new area of the city, about one-third the size of the original map, and will be available for free. This area features L.A. landmarks such as Exposition Park, the USC campus, Shrine Auditorium, Crenshaw Plaza, and the L.A. Memorial Coliseum and stretches south to the 105 Freeway

In addition to the free new city area, players will be able to purchase the "South Central Content Pack" which includes new character competitions, races, cars and music available in a single complete package. The new vehicles include a variety of cars and a motorcycle. Also making an appearance for the first time in Midnight Club: Los Angeles will be SUVs, a longtime favorite of the series' fans.

"This downloadable content hones in on a very iconic area of Los Angeles," said Jay Panek, Midnight Club Producer at Rockstar San Diego. "'This South Central download features staples of the area, from the landmarks to the types of cars, and we think it really helps enhance the overall L.A. feel we set out to recreate."

Look for the new download content early next year for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game.
