You wanted Gears of War 3 campaign DLC? You got Gears of War 3 campaign DLC!
As previously promised, Epic Games has officially yanked the gib-clotted tarp back from RAAM’s Shadow, a Gears of War 3 campaign DLC that’s also a prequel.
Didn’t see that one coming, actually; although that also sums up my online multiplayer experience, and consistency is nice.
According to Xbox LIVE commander Major Nelson (aka community manager Larry Hryb), the three-hour add-on is set before the events of the first game, and features “a cast of characters both new and eerily familiar to the series”.
There are also six new multiplayer characters, additional achievements adding up to 250 Gamerscore, and something called the Chocolate Weapon Set. I can only assume it’s a bunch of weapons made of chocolate, although the logistics of that are puzzling to say the least.
“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 Cliff Bleszinski, Epic Games head honcho.
“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.”
The DLC is due to drop on 13 December, and tagged at 1200 MSP. If you already own the Season Pass, it’s included in that.
In other news, Gears of War 3 now has dedicated servers in South Africa.
