Gears of War 3 DLC 'RAAMs Shadow' has been announced by Epic Games.
The bonus campaign is set before the original Gears of War and enables players to control General RAAM, the final boss from the first game.
Clocking in at roughly three hours, the bulk of the campaign will see players control COG team Zeta squad, fronted by Michael Barrick from the Gears of War comic book series.
Zeta Squad are tasked with evacuating Ilima City, while protecting its citizens from a Locust Kryll storm led by General RAAM.
Barrik's squad also features Lt. Minh Young Kim from the original game, Tai Kaliso from Gears of War 2 and brand new female character Alicia Valera.
In addition to fighting as a new squad of Gears, the action will switch to General RAAM's perspective, as he storms the human stronghold with his mighty Kryll shield.
The DLC also contains six new multiplayer characters, the 'Chocolate Weapon Set' and an additional 250 Gamerpoints.
