Dead Rising 3: Operation Broken Eagle trailer

Say what you will about the Xbox One and its lack of local release date, I’m still excited for the thing (I’ll have my cheque now, thanks). Mostly, I really want to kill a bunch of zombies in Dead Rising 3, a game I’ve been keen to play since it was first announced. If you’re one of the lucky few locals in possession of Dead Rising 3 (and a lot of bandwidth to spare,) here’s some info on its new DLC, Broken Eagle

Included as part of the Season Pass, Broken Arrow tells the first of four new stories set within Los Perdidos. Operation Broken Eagle puts you in control of Spec Ops commander Adam Kane, in his quest to find the missing US President in a world filled with the undead. You’ll get five new weapons, a new weapon combo, a new vehicle, a new outfit and more chances to bag achievements.

The actual DLC is single player only, but you’ll be able to use the new gear in your co-op games. It will, however, require the download of that mandatory 13Gb patch – which is necessary whether you plan to buy the DLC or not.

Microsoft, meanwhile, has detailed that patch a little more. And yes, it includes future DLC, locked behind a paywall.
