Sony pushes back DLC for Heavy Rain

GameStop has been running a pre-order bonus for Heavy Rain which involved a piece of DLC entitled, The Taxidermist. This piece of content was expected to be downloadable upon release, however, it would appear as though that is no longer the plan.

According to the official GameStop game page, the DLC for Heavy Rain has been pushed back to March 4th due to a delay from the publisher (Sony).

Reserve Heavy Rain and receive a code to download first chapter of Heavy Rain Chronicles, The Taxidermist. This prequel follows Madison Page as she investigates her first serial killer. Due to a delay by the publisher, this content will not be available for download until Thursday, March 4, 2010. Available online and in-store while supplies last.

While this is unfortunate, I can assure you that it isn’t anything to get worked up about. Considering what Heavy Rain offers you through the disc-based campaign alone, you’ll have your hands tied with that until the content is ready to download anyways. So, just enjoy tracking down the Origami Killer and prepare for a bonus at the end of your hard fought investigation.
