Rockstar games announced through a press release that the Undead Nightmare DLC for Red Dead Redemption will be released on October 26, 2010. Of course, the download will be available on Xbox Live and the Playstation Network.
“Undead Nightmare turns the world of Red Dead Redemption upside down,” said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. “The supernatural vibe and the return of some favorite characters create a whole new game inside an already incredible world.”
The new DLC introduces hours of a new single-player storyline as well as new multiplayer content. Seemingly overnight, a zombie plague ravages the once bountiful frontier, decimating the landscape and reawakening the dead. In towns, settlements and outposts throughout the world, the uninfected citizens are left to fight for survival against waves of the undead. John Marston must ride out into the vast and terrifying world and survive long enough to find a cure.
Enemy zombie classes are introduced in this new DLC, each hosting their own unique attacks, strengths, and weaknesses. Players will encounter zombifies cougars, bears, wolves, and many more blood-hungry creatures. Don’t worry, though, Marston will be able to equip himself with some new weaponry as well, such as the Blunderbuss, which can be loaded with zombie remains. For those who downloaded the Liars and Cheaters pack, the deadly Tomahawk and the Explosive Rifle will find their way into Marston’s hands.
The Undead Nightmare pack will be available on the Playstation Network for $9.99, and on Xbox Live for 800 Microsoft Points. Also, a stand-alone disc set will be released that will bundle together the Undead Nightmare, Outlaws to the End, Legends and Killers, and Liars and Cheaters DLC packages for $29.99, which is a bargain. So get your brains ready for this zombie fest, and mount up. It’s going to be a killer time.
