14 DAY TRIAL // Capcom is getting ready to debut Dead Rising 3: Operation Broken Eagle later today, January 21, on the Xbox One, and one of its developers has talked a bit more about the new add-on and how it begins a series of "Untold Stories of Los Perdidos."
Dead Rising 3 impressed quite a lot of new Xbox One owners worldwide, bringing an open world zombie experience that was filled with all sorts of activities, not to mention crazy weapons and vehicles.
Now, after players had enough time to explore the single-player campaign, developer Capcom Vancouver is set to release later today, January 21, the first story-based DLC called Operation Broken Eagle.
The new add-on was discussed by Capcom's Josh Bridge on the Xbox Wire and he revealed just what strategy the team used when creating the DLC.
"We basically wanted to take the approach of looking at what happened in the story from different points of view of the different characters and groups of characters that were involved in the main story. We built this concept of 'The Untold Stories of Los Perdidos'and we’ve put together four episodes and each one of them revolves around a different new main character that you play and how their story intertwines with the 'Dead Rising 3' story."
All the new add-ons will bring plenty of different missions, but also weapons or vehicles that can be brought into the regular game.
"It’s kind of cool, you get new weapons, a custom vehicle, a new story flow, new missions. It’s fun in that we got to let you take a different approach. In Operation Broken Eagle you’re going in with a big military point of view and deadly weapons, including this awesome chaingun that just rips apart the zombies."
"We really tried to focus on telling a single-player story with this experience and all of the cool things you get with the episode, including the weapons and items and vehicles, can be used in the Dead Rising 3 main storyline and in co-op as well."
Broken Eagle will be followed by three more Dead Rising 3 expansions in the future.
