‘Dead Rising 3: Fallen Angel’ DLC Sneaked Onto Xbox One Today
Capcom took their time with the first expansion for Dead Rising 3, going so far as to delay it a month for more development time. Unfortunately, even the additional month of polish couldn’t save Operation Broken Eagle from being largely mediocre. That approach seems to have been thrown out the window with the sudden release of the second expansion, which sneaked onto Xbox Live just three weeks after the last DLC.
I haven’t played it, so it could be great. We’ll let you know when our review goes live later this week.
If you’d like to extend your vacation in Los Perdidos a bit longer, you can grab each individual DLC $9.99, or you can get the two available expansions, as well as the two that are still on the way, with the $29.99 season pass.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
