Next week is when players will find themselves stepping back in time to take part in the "Mt. Eddie" DLC for SSX. Inspired by the SSX games of old, including SSX Tricky, the DLC will have a feel that is noticeably different to the main game. Big air drops and fireworks will be the name of the game across the nine new trick and race drops on this completely new mountain.

The "Classic Characters" pack will also be released on the same day as the "Mt. Eddie" DLC. This pack includes seven riders, complete with retro outfits, who will be riding down Mt. Eddie. Each rider will also get a unique board, but these are yet to be revealed. Here are the seven riders:

Do you want to see this DLC in action? Well, here's a video showing Zoe carving her way down the slopes.



Edit: Since the publication of this article, another gameplay video has been released showing Eddie in action on the slopes:

The "Mt. Eddie" and "Classic Characters" DLC packs are due to be released on May 1st. They can be purchased together in a bundle for 640 MSP; alternatively, they are available separately for a price of 480 MSP each. EA has not confirmed whether the DLC will have achievements.

Looks good for fans of the franchise. Keep us posted on those achievements. Got lucky with the rider event and don't like surprise drops in completion percentage.

Psymon looks like he's done nothing but eat and try to become a Crackdown agent since the last game. What happened? These characters look weird. Not as bad as On Tour, granted, but ew.
The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't.

Looking forward to this one! Just picked up a MSP card today so I'll have enough to buy it... this is one of the few purchases I'd be willing to make for DLC without any achievements (that is, if it doesn't have any)

Everyone looks just like I remember them to from Tricky, except for Mac, who I play as. He's still supposed to have his hood up!

EA's allusions towards the game having any multiplayer elements at all are one of the biggest cons I've ever witnessed in a videogame... ghost racing and leaderboard battles are NOT multiplayer! angry
