Gears of War fans should be sprinting to their Xbox, MS points in hand, because a new batch of DLC has been released for the game.
Raam’s Shadow is, in fact, the biggest add-on ever to be released in the history of the Gears of War franchise.
The new mini-campaign is around three hours in length, on average, and is available now on Xbox Live for 1200 MS points (around a tenner).
Raam’s Shadow is the second major dollop of DLC for Gears of War 3, and it lets the player fight on both sides of the Locust war.
It features a new gears outfit known as Zeta Squad who are attempting to evacuate Ilima City and protect its inhabitants from a Locust Kryll storm.
As well as organising and fighting with Zeta Squad, players will also get to strap on General Raam’s combat boots, and storm a human stronghold to find out what life is like on the other side of the Gears coin.
The downloadable content also features more than just the campaign, with an additional “chocolate” weapon set (designed for heavy blasting action and then a tasty treat), six new multiplayer characters including Raam, and a helping of fresh achievements to the tune of 250 gamerscore.
If you’re intending to buy the works in terms of Gears DLC, it might be worth considering the season pass which costs 2400 MS points, but gives you the first four add-ons at an effective third-off discount.
