Brink’s first bit of DLC, Agents of Change will be released next week on August 3 for PS3, Steam, and Xbox 360 and will be free for two weeks. The DLC sees a ship from the outside world showing up and putting a bit of a snag in the peace agreement between the Resistance and Security. The underwater Labs Facility, and the Founder’s Tower where the Ark’s elite live, will be the two new battle zones. The level capo has been increased to 24, and new abilities, customization options and weapon attachments will be included in the DLC. Thanks, Gematsu.

Paul Wedgwood, CEO of Brink developer Splash Damage, has told Edge that whilst the crunch period during development is all but inevitable, the key to a healthy studio is to do as much advanced planning as possible.
