Such an honour to be asked to perform at the launch. Last year’s party was memorable for all the right reasons.”

Gears Of War 3 gets new single player DLC December 13th
Hopefully your chainsaws are still revving and ready for more, as this December, Epic Games unleashes the ‘RAAM’s Shadow’ downloadable content pack for Gears Of War 3.
Arriving a little over a month from the first announced DLC pack (Horde Command Pack, 1st November), this single player focused add-on gives you a number of hours of completely new and sizeable content, with a twist….
Gears of War 2 also received some single player content in ‘Road To Ruin’ (July 2009), and was described as a ‘Deleted Scene’, though it didn’t fare too well with critics. ‘RAAM’s shadow’ seems to be much more comprehensive add-on according to the press release -
Starring a cast of characters both new and eerily familiar to the series, “RAAM’s Shadow” will deliver more than three hours of gameplay set in a storyline that precedes the events of the first “Gears of War,” as well as six new multiplayer characters, the Chocolate Weapon Set and an additional 250 Gamerscore. “RAAM’s Shadow” will launch 13th December for 1,200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
“RAAM’s Shadow” 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.
In addition to fighting as a new squad of Gears, players will step into the boots of RAAM himself, and for the first time storm the human stronghold from the perspective of one of the series’ most legendary bosses.
“RAAM’s imposing size and strength, along with his Kryll shield, make him one of the most powerful and daunting foes in the ‘Gears’ universe,” said Bleszinski. “We think fans are going to have a blast unleashing hell upon the poor humans for the first time in a campaign setting.”
Of course, if you picked up the Gears Of War 3 Season Pass, this new content will be delivered at no additional cost to your precious Microsoft Points!
Gears Of War 3 is currently available for the Xbox 360…Everywhere!!
