Gears of War 3: RAAMs Shadow Game Add-on Coming Dec. 13th

4.7
Today, Microsoft and Epic Games announced RAAMs 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, RAAMs 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. RAAMs Shadow will launch Dec. 13 for 1,200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, marking the second major game add-on for this years 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. Were really excited to be lifting the curtain on the first two releases, first with the Horde Command Pack and now with RAAMs Shadow, which gives fans a new perspective on the Gears universe and is also the biggest DLC release weve ever made.

RAAMs 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.

RAAMs 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 RAAMs 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, theres 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!
