Gears of War 3 campaign expansion RAAM’s Shadow will be released as DLC on December 13, Microsoft and Epic Games have announced.
Promising more than three hours of gameplay, RAAM’s Shadow is set prior to events of the first Gears of War and drops players into the events of Sera post-Emergence Day, as Zeta Squad is enlisted to evacuate Ilima City and protect the citizens against a Locust Kryll storm.
Taking on the infamous Locust leader from Gears 1, General RAAM, Zeta is led by Michael Barrick (from Gears of War comics fame) and comprised of familiar faces such as Lt. Minh Young Kim (Gears 1) and Tai Kaliso (Gears 2), and also includes a new female comrade, Alicia Valera.
“When we announced the Gears 3 Season Pass, we immediately started getting hundreds of questions from fans about what the game add-ons would be,” said Epic Games design director Cliff Bleszinski. “We’re really excited to be lifting the curtain on the first two releases, first with the Horde Command Pack and now with RAAM’s Shadow, which gives fans a new perspective on the Gears universe and is also the biggest DLC release we’ve ever made.”
RAAM’s Shadow is priced 1200 MS Points and also features six new multiplayer characters, the Chocolate Weapon Set and an additional 250 Gamerscore.
Before the release of RAAM’s Shadow Gears of War 3 players will be getting the Horde Command Pack on November 1, offering new maps, characters, weapon skins, Horde fortification upgrades and Achievements. The pack is priced 800 MS Points.
Alternatively, opt for the Gears of War 3 Season Pass which entitles players to the first four game add-ons for only 2400 MS Points – a 30 per cent saving.
