The updated version of <em>Revelations</em> hits Steam on May 20, but the more people that buy it before the launch date, the more goodies everyone can enjoy, with three reward tiers unlocked by pre-order numbers.<br /><br />Tier one is already unlocked, meaning everyone who pre-orders on Steam will get an art book and 13-song soundtrack when the game launches. Next up is tier two, a free copy of 2007's <em>Lost Planet: Extreme Condition</em> that Capcom will distribute shortly after that pre-order goal is reached. Tier three promises "more weapons and more characters" for Raid mode, with four pieces of additional content to be revealed after the game's launch, all part of the Season Pass.<br /><br />There's no word yet if these pre-order bonuses apply to console versions of <em>Revelations</em> as well.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/10/resident-evil-revelations-pre-order-perks-reveal-season-pass-on/">Resident Evil Revelations pre-order perks reveal season pass on Steam</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 10 Apr 2013 23:00:00 EST.

Who those characters actually are, of course, remains a mystery, though we do know that there will be four of them.<br /><br />The pass costs $14.99/1200 MS Points and includes four characters for "the price of three," according to the press release, which means we can safely infer that <em>Injustice</em>'s character DLC will cost $4.99/400 MS Points a pop when purchased individually. You may begin theorizing over the identities of the above silhouettes at the sound of the beep.<br /><br />Three bonus costumes are also included, based on Wonder Woman, Aquaman and Deathstroke's alternate timeline personas from the plot arch that lead to the New 52 relaunch in 2011, "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashpoint_(comics)">Flashpoint</a>." For the uninitiated, Flashpoint is known as being the small splinter of the DC universe where Wonder Woman actually wore some damn clothes that made sense for a conquering warrior princess.<br /><br /><strong>Update:</strong> As a small aside, Harley Quinn's story trailer has been tucked away after the break. We'll keep this description brief in case anyone is avoiding such things because <em>spoilers</em>, but let's just say that the Joker is involved. <em>Right</em>? We couldn't believe it either.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/21/injustice-season-pass-includes-4-characters-bonus-costumes/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Injustice season pass includes 4 characters, bonus costumes [Update: Now with more Harley Quinn]</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/21/injustice-season-pass-includes-4-characters-bonus-costumes/">Injustice season pass includes 4 characters, bonus costumes [Update: Now with more Harley Quinn]</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 21 Mar 2013 14:45:00 EST.

The season pass will cost players $39.99 and enable access to the game's first five DLC packs, which will include a new playable alien species, along with lots of new weapons, vehicles, missions, and other rewards. Plus, pass buyers get two bonus items: a digital Hellbug combat cap, and an extra Lock Box (which is a sealed container in the game for a chance at another item).<br /><br />The $39.99 is in addition to the game's initial purchase price ($59.99, or $99.99 for the deluxe edition). <em>Defiance</em> won't have a subscription fee, and this price is 20 percent off what the DLC will cost in total.<br /><br />The <em>Defiance</em> game will be launched on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on April 2, while the TV show will start on April 15.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/08/trion-offering-a-defiance-season-pass-with-dlc-new-species-and/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Trion offering a Defiance season pass with DLC, new species, and more</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/08/trion-offering-a-defiance-season-pass-with-dlc-new-species-and/">Trion offering a Defiance season pass with DLC, new species, and more</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 08 Mar 2013 01:00:00 EST.

We've got videos of both the new mode and the new map down below.<br /><br />To celebrate the release, Monolith devs are jumping in on the PlayStation Network and hosting a special "Play with Devs" session on Friday, March 1 from 5-8pm PT. The game is <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/04/ps-plus-free-guardians-of-middle-earth-this-week-cheap-karatek/">free this week for PS Plus members</a>, so if that's you download away.<br /><br />Monolith says the new content is coming "soon" to both PSN and XBLA, so no date yet. The company tells Joystiq that the new one-lane map will be free. Survival Mode will also be free for anyone with a season pass (included in the boxed retail copies of the game), but cost extra otherwise.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/26/guardians-of-middle-earth-adds-new-survival-mode-one-lane-map/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Guardians of Middle-earth adds new Survival mode, one-lane map</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/26/guardians-of-middle-earth-adds-new-survival-mode-one-lane-map/">Guardians of Middle-earth adds new Survival mode, one-lane map</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 26 Feb 2013 22:00:00 EST.

The Season Pass can be bought on <a href="http://store.steampowered.com/app/224840/">Steam</a> right now for $27, and will make its way to Xbox 360 and PS3 in the near future.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/02/09/aliens-colonial-marines-bug-hunt-dlc-coming-in-march-more-on/">Aliens: Colonial Marines 'Bug Hunt' DLC coming in March, more on the way</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sat, 09 Feb 2013 12:00:00 EST.

We already know about one piece of additional non-Season Pass content, the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/11/gearbox-posts-final-version-of-borderlands-2-mechromancer-class/">Mechromancer</a>.<br /><br />"We will have other, non-season pass related DLC," Pitchford says. "The additional character (Mechromancer) is one kind of example."<br /><br />We've heard rumblings of themes for future <em>Borderlands 2</em> DLC: One may be an expansion on the weapons manufacturer <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/19/borderlands-2-torgue-expansion-turns-up-on-the-workshop-resume/">Torgue</a>, and another might involve <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/16/pitchford-borderlands-2-dlc-may-skate-on-the-sand-a-la-star-war/">Sand Skiff</a>-like transportation. Pitchford reiterates a vehicle-focused DLC approach.<br /><br />"Since we finished the game, we've started with some new ideas that we expect will show up in DLC," Pitchford says. "Some new vehicle types are on-deck - awesome stuff."<br /><br />All of the Season Pass DLC packs will be "big," similar to the third expansion for the original <em>Borderlands</em>, <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/02/22/borderlands-dlc-secret-armory-of-general-knoxx-goes-public/">The Secret Armory of General Knoxx</a>. Knoxx raised the level cap, added 30 new enemy types, new weapons, new vehicles and improved the AI.<br /><br />"The stuff we're planning and working on for the Campaign DLC Season Pass is big DLC stuff - more like Knoxx," Pitchford says. "We're extremely far along with the first campaign DLC. The second DLC is also in amazing shape. The third DLC is a little farther out and the fourth DLC is just in the pre-concept stages."<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/23/borderlands-2-will-have-non-season-pass-dlc-pitchford-promise/">Borderlands 2 will have 'non-season pass' DLC, Pitchford promises</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Sun, 23 Sep 2012 22:30:00 EST.

Meanwhile, North American folk can still expect to rain bloody death down upon their enemies on March 12.<br /><br />Non-North American revenge aficionados looking for something a little more substantial than just the game itself will have both Special and Collector's editions to choose from, which each contain varying levels of goodies, both in-game and out.

No pricing information or pictures of the packs have been released as of yet, thought details are expected in the "near future," according to the <a href="http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/08/30/god-of-war-ascension-release-date-confirmed-special-editions-detailed/">European PlayStation Blog</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/30/god-of-war-ascension-euro-dates-announced-along-with-special/">God of War: Ascension Euro dates announced, along with Special / Collector's Editions</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 30 Aug 2012 21:00:00 EST.

A letter purportedly sent to GameStop employees both thanks them for their "hard work" in snapping up pre-orders of <em>AC3</em> from customers, and, more importantly, warns them of an upcoming "season pass concept" for this October's game.<br /><br />"We are currently in the process of creating a complementary development team that will begin working on post-launch episodic content to continue the Game of the Year experience that <em>Assassin's Creed 3</em> will undoubtedly deliver," reads the letter. It's not exactly uncommon for Ubisoft to support its games post-launch, and the AC franchise is no exception - each of the last three AC games, starting with <em>AC2</em>, were bolstered by post-launch content.<br /><br />Precedents set by previous "season pass" offerings dictates that a variety of DLC (multiplayer, single-player, or both) would be packaged and sold ahead of its launch, giving the buyer an aggregate discount across all of it. Ubisoft enacted such a scheme with the last AC title, <em>Revelations</em>, albeit <a href="http://www.gamestop.com/pc/dlc/assassins-creed-revelations-season-pass/98570">only via PC</a>. Still, neither Ubisoft nor Gamestop can confirm this letter or a "Season Pass" for <em>AC3</em>. And no, DLC for <em>Assassin's Creed 3</em> has not yet been announced, outside of the ambiguous "special DLC" heading <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/06/04/assassins-creed-3-getting-its-own-ps3-hardware-bundle-comes-wi/">exclusively to PlayStation 3 players</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2012/07/23/rumor-assassins-creed-3-getting-a-season-pass/">Rumor: Assassin's Creed 3 getting a 'Season Pass'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 23 Jul 2012 11:30:00 EST.

And if you happen to pre-order from ShopTHQ, this season pass is free. Not a bad deal for a lot of UFC stuff (and <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/thq">THQ</a> could use the money right now).<br /><br />All this stuff will also be available separately. In addition, there's some DLC that isn't part of the Pass, including the $3 "Create-a-Fighter Boost," which gives you extra points for your custom fighter, and two sets of "Ultimate" fights that are already free at launch.

You've got yourself a brand new copy of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/forza-motorsport-4"><em>Forza Motorsport 4</em></a> from Grandma, a full day off from work for holidays, and a general attitude of not accepting standard pricing, right? <em>Perfect</em>, because Microsoft is offering major discounts -- today only -- on <em>Forza 4</em> content over Xbox Live, including that "Drifter Race Suit" your Avatar has been asking for.<br />
<br />
Okay, okay, the normally <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/22/forza-motorsport-4-gets-a-30-season-pass-redeemable-for-six-dl/">$30 "season pass"</a> is also being discounted to $22.50, while last month's "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/28/forza-4s-november-speed-pack-roars-to-xbox-live-on-nov-1/">November Speed Pack</a>" is also lowered in price to 280 MS Points ($3.50) from 560. That Drift Racer suit is also half off but, you know, you probably don't need that.

Ah, gaming. There's always something new to be excited about! Last year, it was the <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/online-pass/">online pass</a>, which has become standard practice for almost any game with a meaningful multiplayer component released in 2011. But publishers are always looking to innovate, and this year has seen the rise of the Season Pass. The newest game to boldly ask for your money in advance? <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/saints-row-the-third"><em>Saints Row: The Third</em></a>!<br />
<br />
Offering a <em>full fifteen percent off</em> of the DLC if you were to buy all four releases separately, the <em>Saints Row: The Third</em> season pass will get you three mission packs - "Genkibowl VII," "Gangstas In Space," and "The Trouble With Clones" - and the Nyte Blayde DLC pack, which comes with a sweet "vampire-hunting sports car." No word on if the car does the hunting by itself, but with Saints Row there's no way to be sure. The DLC covered by the season pass will release between January of 2011 and "Spring 2011." You can find the full details and press release after the break.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/10/thq-announces-the-first-saints-row-the-third-season-pass/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>THQ announces the first Saints Row: The Third season pass</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/11/10/thq-announces-the-first-saints-row-the-third-season-pass/">THQ announces the first Saints Row: The Third season pass</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 10 Nov 2011 23:02:00 EST.

<a href="http://joystiq.com/game/uncharted-3-drakes-deception"><em>Uncharted 3's</em></a> "Fortune Hunters' Club" is really more of a "Bargain Hunters' Club," offering savings on future DLC for the latest Drake-shaker. It's the latest in the growing number of "<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/season-pass">season pass</a>" DLC deals, offering a discount for the bundled pre-order of "the first four multiplayer map packs and the first three multiplayer skin packs."<br />
<br />
All told, the $24.99 purchase gets you around $45 worth of content, Sony says, plus an exclusive theme and an XMB message service to keep you up with new DLC. If the kind of fortune you seek is "more <em>Uncharted 3</em> stuff," then you can hunt for the pre-order link today on the PlayStation Store.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/10/18/uncharted-3-fortune-hunters-club-is-a-dlc-season-pass/">Uncharted 3 'Fortune Hunters' Club' is a DLC season pass</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 18 Oct 2011 13:50:00 EST.

Turn 10 Studios has announced that it will sell a Season Pass for <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/forza-motorsport-4">Forza Motorsport 4</a>, </em>giving players access to six DLC packs the developer plans to launch over the next year. The ticket is priced at $29.99 -- a 30 percent discount from the combined prices of the six expansions -- and comes with a bonus American Muscle car pack on launch day. Is $30 too much to spend on a Coronet Super Bee? God, we hope not.<br />
<br />
The six DLC packs in question will launch between November 2011 and April 2012, which might be too slow a drip for the high-octane, Forza-consuming audience. We suggest Turn 10 hold off on releasing any of the DLC, and then, in the middle of February: <em>Booyah</em>, a thousand new cars.<p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/22/forza-motorsport-4-gets-a-30-season-pass-redeemable-for-six-dl/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Forza Motorsport 4 gets a $30 season pass, redeemable for six DLC packs</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/09/22/forza-motorsport-4-gets-a-30-season-pass-redeemable-for-six-dl/">Forza Motorsport 4 gets a $30 season pass, redeemable for six DLC packs</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Thu, 22 Sep 2011 10:43:00 EST.

<em>Gears of War 3</em> will have a "season pass" for its downloadable content -- a strategy we're seeing used by <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/05/31/la-noire-dlc/"><em>Noir</em></a>-ly <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/06/17/mortal-kombat-season-pass-discounts-dlc-for-xbox/">everyone</a> with a long term, post-launch DLC plan. Microsoft claims the 2400 Microsoft point ($30) season pass will "guarantee a 33 percent discount on the game add-ons," compared to purchasing them individually when released. The pass will be available on September 20 and include an "exclusive" Liquid Metal Weapon Set.<br />
<br />
The season pass will cover the "first four" installments of DLC, which will be released over the next year, with the first planned for November. No word yet if there will be more beyond that to squeeze from, er, <em>generously discount</em> to <em>Gears</em> fans.<br />

	<a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/17/age-of-empires-online-season-pass-offers-all-and-future-availabl/"><img alt="AoE Online offers a Season Pass on the first six months of content" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2011/08/ageofempiresonline.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; margin: 0px; height: 336px; width: 530px;" /></a></div>
Now that the free-to-play <a href="http://joystiq.com/game/age-of-empires-online"><em>Age of Empires Online</em></a> MMORTS is out (and it's <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/16/age-of-empires-online-review/">not all bad</a>, apparently), let's start talking about how you can pay for it, shall we? Of course, the game is free to download, and you get the game's two empires to play with right away. But developer Gas Powered Games are working on releasing new content all the time, of course, and Microsoft has announced at Gamescom that those really interested in the game will be able to <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Seasons-Pass-I/00000000-0000-400e-80cf-000a4d530fa3">pick up a "Season Pass"</a> that will grant access to all premium content currently available. That pass will cost $99.99, and last for the first six months of the game.<br />
<br />
At this point, we only know about <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Age-of-Empires-Online/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8044d530fa3?nosplash=1&amp;downloadType=GameAddon#LiveZone">a few different content packs</a>, and there's a deal for a free Defense of Crete Booster Pack when you buy both Premium Civs, so everything on the market right now will set you back only about $60. But keep in mind that the Season Pass lasts until February of next year, so everything Gas Powered releases before then is yours to keep. If you like the game a lot, that will probably be worth the deal.<br />
<br />
One note of warning: Gas Powered also says that buying the Season Pass won't keep you from rebuying content accidentally, so don't forget and buy more stuff when your Christmas cards come in. But hopefully if you spend $100 on a free-to-play game, you won't really be tempted to spend any more than that, right?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/17/age-of-empires-online-season-pass-offers-all-and-future-availabl/">Age of Empires Online Season Pass offers all and future available content for one price</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 17 Aug 2011 15:20:00 EST.

We all know <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/1-vs-100/"><em>1 vs. 100</em></a> is supposed to be <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/04/27/1-vs-100-will-be-free-for-xbox-live-gold-subscribers/">free to Xbox Live Gold subscribers</a>, but while cruising around the game's menus last night, one of our more observant readers spotted something out of whack. As you can see in the images he snapped in our gallery below, an odd "Season Pass" option popped up in one of the game's menus. When trying to download it, the content was oddly labeled as "<em>1 vs. 100 </em>Show GB," and even though our tipster could get through the download process, doing so yielded no viable results, as the content would only give an error message. But, what puzzles us more is thig "GB" business. What could it stand for?<br />
<br />
True, <a href="http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/05/07/1-vs-100-to-feature-seasonal-achievements/">the seasonal approach</a> is something we knew about <em>1 vs. 100</em> already, but it's supposed to be free. Could Microsoft be looking to monetize the upcoming Primetime Channel game a bit more? We heard the company likes money, but we put in word for clarification <em>just in case</em>. We'll get back to you when we get a response.<br />
