So not only is the 'Horde Command Pack' (featuring new maps, skins and Horde functionality) set for release on the November 1st, Epic announced last week the second Gears of War 3 DLC €œRAAM's Shadow€ will be hot on it's heels, due for release December 13th. This second, campaign focused DLC, is set as a 'Gears 1' prequel starring 'Zeta Squad'. This seemingly new gang are actually comprised of all old faces both familiar and others not so. Heading the crew is Michael Barrick (of the Gears comics fame), Lt. Minh Young Kim (from 'Gears 1' €“ the one who actually died at RAAM's hands) and Tai Kaliso (the slightly racist iteration of an €œIslander€ Gear from 'Gears 2'). Also in Gears 3 style the gang will have a female addition in the form of newcomer Alicia Valeria According to Epic's official site you'll also be able to play as RAAM himself in this reportedly 3 hours campaign helping, this plus the six multiplayer skins (assumedly made up of Zeta squad and Locust counterparts) make this addition worthy of a look in. Owners of the 'Season Pass' can expect it coming December 13th after 'The Horde Command Pack' on November 1st along with more multiplayer news. For all things Gears stayed jacked into WhatCulture!
