Sega has announced that the playable Bayonetta DLC for Anarchy Reigns will be a pre-order exclusive from GameStop in the U.S.

In Europe the DLC will be available as part of the Day One Edition of the game, but U.S. fans will have to place their pre-order at GameStop if they want the extra content. Alongside the Bayonetta DLC customers will also receive two extra multiplayer modes, Mad Survival and Dogfight.

In Mad Survival, a team of 3 players duke it out against waves of enemies, much as in the normal survival mode. However, these enemies now take the form of the other playable characters in Anarchy Reigns, leading to a far tougher series of battles that require serious tactical thinking to outsmart your foes.

Dogfight sees players hanging from helicopters -pelting each other with bullets until their opponents fall out of the sky. As well as being a surreal new spin on this multiplayer brawler this aerial-based game mode is an entertaining change of pace from land-based conflict, also offering gamers a new way to explore the locations found in-game.

Anarchy Reigns is due to release January 8 in the U.S. for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
