Split Second Getting Four DLC Packs

Richard Walker

Is racing around exploding tracks getting a bit tiresome in Split/Second: Velocity? No? Well, whatever the case, Black Rock Studios is planning to release a whole bunch of DLC for the game in the coming weeks,  which should help freshen things up a little, with three add-on packs slated for "the next couple of weeks" and a "major" one, which will include a new environment in September.

Announced via the Split/Second Facebook page, the second of the DLC packs will introduce a host of new cars in the 'High Octane Supercar' pack (one of which is pictured below), while the first will comprise of new liveries to customise your high and lower octane vehicles.

There's no price as yet for the DLC, but the third will be free "as a way of saying thanks to our awesome community", and will be a special edition vehicle based on the Ryback Cyclone.

As well as no pricing, there's also no specifics on dates yet, other than the fact that they'll be landing on the Xbox Live Marketplace later this and next month.

  • Too bad i already traded this game in, plus the last 18 solid days to finish Forza3, i need a break from racing for a while
  • ehh ill just play Cod6 till reach comes out.
  • @#2 There is no Cod6, drives me crazy when people call it that.
  • Why isn't there? Cod4, waw, mw2 ? can you not add 2 plus 4? drives me crazy when ppl thinkg i give a fuck
  • @IC3 L3G3ND Amen to that! I'm almost done with S/S, unless these DLC packs bring achievements it's getting traded in as soon as possible.
  • Yesssss, I loved playing this game, I am guessing the first 3 packs wont have achievements, but the big one likely will.
  • It's still not Cod6 if you can provide any image of the game disc or case that says Cod6 then i will accept that it is called that until then GTFO
  • @#2 It isn't COD 6 because infinity ward created their own brand with modern warfare; A brand apart from the developments of treyarch. The only reason call of duty was added on to the title is because Activision decided adding the Call of Duty brand name to it would improve sales.
  • yet to play this, saw it for £15 the other day may get it when the dlc lands, use it as an inbetween of reach and black ops and etc etc wow theres a lot of good games out soon!!
  • Oh ffs, cant anything not get bloody cod involved XD awesome news, especially the free stuff, probably wont bother with the other DLCs tho =/
  • lmao! you guys get so butthurt xD its just a game! everybody always thinks they have more knowledge than the other
  • ace, i loved this game, if the extra environment adds achievements, i might re-rent this!
  • Currently playing this and loving it, any news on achievements?
  • Will there be any achievements?
  • @#11 - But think of it as a spin-off. It's one thing to call Silent Hill Homecoming "Silent Hill 5", when it IS SH5. But a spin-off series is not the same thing. It has its own numbering system. Likewise, Resident Evil 5 is actually RE6 (Code: Veronica is RE4) and it's the 7th numbered game (if you include Zero), but there are actually 12 or so titles that chronologically take place before RE5 (plus the Degeneration film). They could randomly make a Call of Duty 6, and that's why people make a big deal out of calling it CoD6. Because it isn't, and CoD6 could be an upcoming game for all you know.
  • #2 I laughed at your comment, then I realised you were being serious. Still, I need a good reason to go back to Split/Second, after I ragequit cos I suck so much at it.
  • if you dont like the game why post about the DLC ? plenty still play over xbox live for a start and will be looking forward to this
  • i think i might play the 6th installment of cod to ^^
  • wtf has this got to do with call of duty? obsessed fools!!!!
  • lolz just thought i wud stir it up
  • @4 because MW2 makes just a bit more sense
  • 3 downloadable cars and 1 downloadable course, meh... pass
  • @15 how about GTA IV? GTA, GTA 2, GTA III, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, GTA IV. following the time-honoured numbering system of "because we say so"
  • @ all the morons who call WaW & MW2 CoD 5 & 6 your retards if they were 5 & 6 they would have a number in the name its common sense they are a damn Spin-off of the CoD series oh and just b4 someone says it i have the counter CoD:BO IS NOT COD 7!!!!!!!
  • I literally traded this in a few hours ago, because i didn't think there was gonig to be any DLC :(
  • I tipped a hint I was given from Black Rock themselves last week, AND made a forum post about it that no-one cared about. Sadface. With that said though, if the price is right, I'll be more than happy to get all 3 paid packs.
  • "lolz just thought i wud stir it up" try and be a bit less obvious next time and it might work ;-)
  • Wow a thread about Split Second and it ends up as a war about what COD is called. Who gives a fuck, all the COD games look and play the fucking same anyway, i.e crap!
  • Kinda annoyed that this announcement wasn't made sooner, I bought the game a couple of weeks after launch, played it non-stop for a fortnight, done everything, traded it in. Would have held on for completion sake if I had known about this
  • Awesome sauce :D I love love love this game and can't wait for these 4 DLC packs :) I hope the last pack comes with new achievements too.
  • i think everyone should stop bitching about call of duty in a racing game topic..
  • Who cares what people call Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Some people call it COD4MW2 some MW2 some COD6, let them, they are all in one way or another correct, why does it matter for gods sake.
  • Why are you idiots talking about COD in a racing game?
  • @33 I think you answered your own question with your 4th word, haha xD
  • Rubberbanding racing in this game made me trade it in a long time ago, it's too bad it is a nice game but issues like that should be addressed before DLC.
  • @everyone bitching about COD: who gives a damn? it's a moot point. So the first MW was COD4... how many GTA's do we have & GTA4 was the last "stand alone" GTA title. Anyways I never played this game but seeing continued support and a lower price tag on the actual game may just change my mind.
  • i traded this in cuz of the rubberband a.i. release a patch to fix the difficulty...
  • @7 What does it matter? I hear so many people call "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare", "Modern Warfare 1". Technically it can be called by a nick of "Call of Duty 6", because it is Call of Duty's sixth installment of the franchise.
  • I'm looking forward to Guitar Hero 9 this Fall. :)
  • Would rent this again for the DLC if it has achievements if not, won't bother already 100% it!
  • #1 oh no.... someone called it cod6? Don't say sooo. Heavens forbid someone call something OTHER than the full title quoted on the disc's case.
  • Didn't Split Second tank sales-wise? Won't get much back from DLC.
  • lmao! ok guys i totally get it.. they are spin offs.. but damn this is split second here not CoD xD i didn't think ppl took it to heart lolz
  • You people arguing about what mw2 is called need to get a job, laid, a drink, a friend or somethin... jesus christ... ill call lego harry potter gears of war 5 if i fuckin feel like it... this is a split second news forum... get your own place and STFU!!!
  • @44 Its actually Lego Harry Potter Years 1-4 :P lol jks Not too interested in the split/second DLC, the game is fun, but not fun enough to warrant me spending more money on it.
  • looks like ill have to keep hold of this game a little longer..
  • I LOL'd when I saw comments about CoD when this is a Split/Second news, 2 totally different genres! I just have to comment here... Everyone fighting over the name, technically there is no CoD5 or CoD6, as they are named CoD WaW and CoD MW2, though they are the 5th and 6th games of CoD, so in actuality you can call them by the numbers or actual names because they infact are the 5th and 6th game. Sorry if anyone is against my point. On Topic: I wonder if these will have achievements... It would be cool as I loved this game!
  • @47, that is the most contradictory post on here! You 'LOL' about people talking about COD in here and then talk about COD in here....
  • There better be more achievements. I finished the game offline and online in a few days. I was thinking of trading it in for Blur but maybe I'll wait a while.
  • Will all the COD fanboys do your nerd argument somewhere else? This is a Split Second thread. Take it somewhere else.
  • Anyone heard anymore about the DLCs?
  • 3 bits of DLC has been released. "High Octane" Supercar Vehicle Pack - 160 MSP Ryback Cyclone Special Edition - Free "The Elite" Vehicle Livery Pack - Free
