14 DAY TRIAL // Barely has Resistance 3 been released in North America for the PlayStation 3, and already Sony is confirming that the first downloadable content pack for the new first person shooter is scheduled to arrive early next month.
Resistance 3 is the newest chapter in the PlayStation 3 exclusive shooter series, promising to a new take on the war between humans and the alien monsters called the Chimera, the focus on the series so far.
The game has just been released yesterday in the USA, while Europe and the rest of the world needs to wait until Friday to see how the new protagonist, Joseph Capelli, is fairing against the Chimera monsters.
Sony, the game's publisher, and Insomniac Games, its publisher, aren't resting, as they've just announced that the first downloadable content pack for Resistance 3 is scheduled to appear in early October.
The add-on will bring a new multiplayer mode called Invasion, four new skins for it, as well as a static XMB theme.
"Our team is happy to reveal the first DLC we will have ready to release on October 4th. The Survival Pack brings you a brand new game mode: Invasion. Invasion requires both teams to divide resources to simultaneously own multiple control points on the map. As you hold the nodes, you’ll receive more points. It hearkens back to the wonderful balance in Resistance: Fall of Man of knowing when to send troops on the offensive, and when to hold other players back."
"In addition to the Invasion mode, your $3.99 gets you four new skins of the various Survivors in the game, as well as a static XMB theme. Also on October 4, we will release a patch for all players that will bring two new maps with it as well."
