Epic games has announced that they will be releasing free DLC next week for Gears of War 3. The upcoming "Versus Booster Map Pack" will feature five maps which will be available in public matchmaking playlists. Two of the maps are favorites from "Gears 1" - Swamp and Clocktower. The other three maps will be from the recently released "Horde Command" DLC - Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive.
While the Versus Booster Map Pack will unlock five new multiplayer battlegrounds for public matchmaking, those who purchase the Horde Command Pack (or access it through the Gears of War 3 Season Pass) will still have exclusive access to the pack's Horde fortification upgrades, new playable characters like Bernie Mataki, Big Rig Dizzy and the Onyx Guard, as well as the Team Plasma and Jungle Camo weapon skins.
Epic Games will also be releasing the "RAAM's Shadow" next month, on December 13th. RAAM's Shadow will deliver more than three hours of new campaign 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 Skin Set and an additional 250 Gamerscore.
