Dark Messiah of Might and Magic DLC Already Available

Yes, you read that right. DLC for a game that isn't even out yet. A tipster over at 360 Fanboy pointed this out and took a screenshot (seen below), though I haven't checked for myself if it is still up since I'm at work and my 360 had a hardware failure on Wednesday.

I couldn't find any info on what exactly the download would entail (aside from the obvious Maps, Classes and Weapons in the title) or why it wasn't just included on the disc itself. At a reported 151MB, seems like they are just milking fans of the series. I say boycott... unless maybe achievements are involved, though I doubt that.

I'm thinking about getting this game when my 360 comes back from getting repaired actually. Looks good at least. Good enough for me to try.

I wonder if it's EA stlyed dlc. Stuff you could unlock yourself but if you're too pathetic spend real money on it. If this is actual new content then wow... Luckily the game looks like it'll be crap anyway judging on the awful demo and subpar reviews it's been getting.

I liked the demo, but I have to say it was a lot like Oblivion.

@ Alex goes Ska - If its extra content that was supposed to be on the disc but couldn't fit why would they make you pay? If you supposed to have it, it should be free. Im still debated wether to get this game or not.

The demo was absolute garbage. A complete disgrace to the actual PC version. You would think that they would've been able to port it over better... it looks like End of the Xbox graphics or maybe launch graphics. Total let down in my opinion. Back on topic though, this DLC made me laugh the other day when I saw it. It says in the description exactly what the title says. I loved how it really helped you figure out what it truly included lol.

The games been out on the PC for about 2 years or so.
They just ported the game to the 360, Thats why the DLC is probably there so early.

I guess it's just that the released it as soon as it was ready to get it out of the way so that they can concentrate on the game itself and get it all ready to be distributed. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but if it's there already it's going to stay there, so don't complain too much. Surely this is better than having to wait months and months for a tiny bit of DLC

The DLC is gone now. It's funny that they would leave the download available until launch day.
