First ‘Dead Rising 3’ DLC Available On December 24th
Capcom has revealed more of their DLC plans for the Xbox One exclusive zombie abuse simulator, Dead Rising 3. If you’d like another reason to return to the game — assuming, of course, that you ever stopped playing it — then the first expansion will arrive on Christmas Eve (Dec 24). It’s called Operation Broken Eagle and will feature a new playable character (a Spec Ops Commander named Adam Kane), as well as new weapons, missions and a custom vehicle.
When asked how Kane differs from the game’s current lead, Capcom confirmed he’s more than just a reskinned Nick. “As opposed to Nick, who is relatively good willed in nature facing military opposition, Adam is a by the books soldier with a crew of Spec Ops fighting for him. You get to take on some over the top military weapons and an armored vehicle that spews bullets. You get to take on missions that go against what Nick would have fought for, but as you discover through the story you can also relate to how Adam struggles to follow through on his difficult orders.”
After Broken Eagle hits later this month, we’ll still have three more expansions to look forward too, including Fallen Angel, Chaos Rising and The Last Angel. Each will star a different playable character and will be fully playable in online co-op.
If you’re still unsure as to whether or not this game is for you, Capcom has made it a whole lot easier to decide with a 20-minute-long demo that’s now available on Xbox Live.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
