Called "Fenix Rising," five new maps will be available.
Epic Games has been supporting Gears of War 3 with the Horde Command Pack, the RAAM's Shadow expansion, and the free Versus Booster Map Pack. Today, Microsoft confirmed the next bit of DLC will be a map pack called Fenix Rising.
Epic's new game is a radical departure with notes of Minecraft.
Cliffy B., from Epic Games, said that they were working on something radically different and at this year’s Spike TV Video Game Awards we got to see exactly what he meant by that when Fortnite was revealed to the world.
Brand-new franchise is "radically different."
As we head into 2012, it’s time to start looking forward to what’s next in the realm of video games. If you’re at all interested in what’s coming down the pipeline, you’ll probably want to set your DVR for the Spike TV VGAs this Saturday. The awards ceremony leaves much to be desired for many enthusiasts, but the show will give us our first look at a ton of games, including the next game from Epic. But why would the President of Epic Games, Mike Capps, be scared about unveiling this all-new IP?
Spike's Video Game Awards show is lining up the announcements, including new details about Metal Gear Solid Rising, BioWare's next game and Alan Wake. Well, here's another one. Cliff Bleszinski of Epic Games will announce a new game the company is working on at the award show as well.
Ryutaro Ichimura is using Epic Games' game engine.
Square Enix licensed the Unreal Engine 3 from Epic Games for a number of titles. Which titles, Square has not announced. However, some details have been leaked online. A report is saying that Dragon Quest IX producer Ryutaro Ichimura is working on one of these games.
The Gears Trilogy ends on a strong note.
Whether it's due to the fresh take it had on the 3rd person shooter, its high-stakes action, or gameplay innovations, gamers latched on to the Gears series and came to discover that this franchise was one to look out for. Millions of copies sold and many Game of the Year accolades later, Gears of War 3 is the final installment in the trilogy and it shows exactly why the series has stayed relevant and popular over the years.
The first piece of DLC isn't quite ready for primetime.
Gears fans are going to have to wait a little longer for the first major piece of DLC, “Horde Command”. The add-on, which is included in the Season Pass if you bought that, was supposed to be available as you read this article, but some last-minute issues prevented that.
Control the fearsome General RAAM in this flashback mission.
Gears of War 3 has been out for a little less than a month now, and for a huge, multiplayer-focused game such as this, it’s about time for some details to come forth about that all-important DLC. There has already been one piece of major DLC announced, called “Horde Command”. Now you can add “RAAM’s Shadow” to the list.
Epic did a bad, bad thing...
Players have discovered a serious glitch in Gears of War 3, that is reportedly freezing Xbox 360 consoles. It occurs while trying to enter a horde match in split screen with two different gamer profiles. Not only will the console freeze, forcing the player to restart their console, but afterward one of the profiles will be altered, prohibiting that player to enter a match. The "loading game mode" screen is when the glitch appears to be happening.
New Characters, Maps and Upgrades in the Horde Command Pack
The first in at least four DLC packs has been revealed. The Horde Command Pack will be released for Gears of War 3 on November 1, 2011 and will be free for those who bought the Season Pass. Separately, it'll cost 800 Microsoft Points or $10. The Season Pass is still available and it costs $30. It will give players the first four DLC packs for the game for free once they're released.
