It isn’t taking long for that Season Pass to appear worthwhile eh?  Epic Games and Microsoft release new details on yet another planned wave of downloadable content for Gears of War 3.  “RAAM’s Shadow” is going to add more than three hours of new campaign mayhem on December 13th and it’ll add 250 Gamerscore for you Achievement whores.  So that makes it two on the replay value train with the Horde Command Pack next month and RAAM’s Shadow in December.

“RAAM’s Shadow” will also add six new multiplayer characters and the Chocolate Weapon Set.  Oh boy … chocolate in my Gears.  It’ll cost ya 1200 Microsoft Points if you don’t have the Season Pass.

“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.  Win!

“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.”
