Minh Young Kim (“Gears 1”) and Tai Kaliso (“Gears 2”), and also includes a new female comrade, Alicia Valera. 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. “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. What is that 'new perspective' that Bleszinski is teasing, Epic has also released a synopsis for the DLC's base-storyline: 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.” '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.

Design Director Cliff Bleszinski was especially enthusiastic about unveiling the single player add-on as part of the package: No doubt many fans have already picked up the Gears of War 3 DLC season pass - and, rest assured, 'RAAM's Shadow' will be included as part of the covered offerings. 13 for 1,200 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.'

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. So what fans expect from the content in the 'RAAM's Shadow' add-on? 'Won’t be the graphic novel, but it will have all new campaign content that doesn’t have Marcus, Dom, Cole and Baird in it. Microsoft and Epic Games have officially dropped the first details for the add-on after previously telling gamers that single player DLC: Fans of the Gears of War story, not just slaughtering other players online, should keep a close eye on December 13th - when 'RAAM's Shadow' lands on Xbox Live. However, most interesting was talk of actual campaign story DLC that will fill in some of the blanks between the various Gears installments - and today we finally have official details on what players can expect from one (at least) single player add-on.

We've already heard about the upcoming 'Horde Command Pack' add-on that will arrive in November and discovered that three yet-to-be-released multiplayer maps are already on the game's retail disc. Epic Games has been driving a pretty intense 'don't trade in Gears of War 3' campaign, announcing one upcoming DLC offering after another - each one seemingly playing to the interest of different COG fans around the world.
