Overload, a six-degrees-of-freedom shooter by Revival Productions, has received a new level pack DLC.
The Community Level Pack adds nine new levels created by famous members of the modding community that have been arranged into a story-driven mini-campaign.
It also adds 12 new challenge levels with full leaderboard support. Revival Productions won’t be pocketing all the money from this DLC pack, however, and will be giving half of the proceeds to the modders that made the levels in question.
The DLC coincides with Patch 5, which introduces a whole host of balance tweaks and modifications that you can read more about here.
Overload is a ’90s-inspired 6DOF shooter that left Early Access back in May. The developer, Revival Productions, is staffed with many industry veterans that worked on the Descent and Freespace franchises. You can check out the launch trailer above.
The Community Level Pack DLC costs $4.99. Overload is available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam and GOG for $29.99, and it’s currently 25% off on Steam.
