There will also be new DLC available – London’s Finest, offering players four new characters. These are survivors from London, fighting alongside London’s emergency services and the army, to try and stem the tide of zeds. There’s Reverend Alberts, the vicar from the Church in West London who made it out alive and is fighting to save his flock, soccer Hooligan “Chopper” Harris, Kevo Chav and their new best friend, Captain Sir Richard Wiggins, 5th Baronet of Warbury, the only survivor of the guards at the Palance, still in full dress uniform.
This motley crew make up a team known as ‘London’s Finest’, available as DLC to add on to your game at the same time as the Twisted Christmas event.
