Downloadable content for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network title IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey is now available for 400 MS Points of $4.99.

 

The update gives players six more single-player missions across the existing six theatres of war featured in one of the most authentic flight combat games for next-gen consoles. Players can also jump into the cockpit of a brand new plane, the American P47D.

Runes of Magic now has a volcano and dragon as of yesterday in the version 2.1 patch.

 

The recently announced six-player dungeon, ‘Cave of the Water Dragon’, is also now live as player groups prepare to conquer the deranged dragon Lytfir.

High level players in particular will benefit from the free content update. Under glowing, ashen skies in the infernal zone around the ‘Aotulia Volcano’, there are numerous quests for players to complete. On their way through the almost impassable region to the heart of the enemy, only the bravest will be able to survive against the Naga and other aggressive creatures on their way to reaching the level 55 cap. In the new instance, ‘Cave of the Water Dragon’, player groups of six level 55 adventurers take on the epic challenge as they put their hard earned abilities to the test in combat with elemental beings and the unrestrained dragon.

Hudson has another WiiWare title in the works – Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem– set to debut “this fall” (whatever that means).

 

In Shootanto: Evolutionary Mayhem, players start as primates and battle lizardmen across the epochs, from primeval to medieval times and beyond.  Players who survive each battle will evolve from a lowly monkey to an apeman, then caveman, a human knight, and finally a soldier.  The combat continues to change as the lizardmen also evolve throughout the game.  Co-op mode allows players to survive the onslaught together.
