Today, Microsoft and Epic Games announced “RAAM’s Shadow,” the new campaign experience for the award-winning blockbuster, “Gears of War 3.” 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 Dec. 13 for 1,200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, marking the second major game add-on for this year’s critically-acclaimed blockbuster, “Gears of War 3.”

“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” 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.”

With the announcement of “RAAM’s Shadow” and in anticipation of the launch of the “Horde Command Pack” on Nov. 1, featuring new maps, characters, weapon skins, Horde fortification upgrades and Achievements, there’s never been a better time to purchase the “Gears of War 3” Season Pass for 2400 Microsoft Points, entitling you to the first four game add-ons for discount of more than 30 percent!

Multiplayer news is coming November 1st, so keep an eye out!

That shit is going to be so awesome. Playing as RAAM without him being scaled down like in multiplayer with the kryll armor.

LMAO!:uglyhammer:

In regards to the RAAM DLC, I notice at the end of that announcement that they really seem to be stressing "the FIRST four pieces of DLC" which leads me to believe there will be a lot more. I have a feeling when it's all said and done M$ will be trying to milk more money out of us than Activision has with the CoD games, which is just sad.:ugh:

 

[RosettaStoned]

I feel like I should poop on some of you guys....

Somehow I missed this post. I can play tonight if you guys want.

And I'm guessing this is old news, but there are reports everywhere that the latest Horde Command DLC is already on the disc and the $10 is just to unlock it.

Of course Epic's excuse is because the game was done and ready back in April when it was initially supposed to release, so they began working on the DLC then and were able to put it on the disc before it shipped.

 

[IamMedellin]

i think it was 154mb DL?

it wouldnt suprise me if the maps[GOW1 bulletmarsh/clocktower] theyre releasing on Turkey day are already on the disc too...

I'll be on after 5 EST, its double XP tonight

I don't doubt it, when I downloaded it, it took all of like 5 seconds.

I'd also be up for playing tonight.
