News: Capcom and Microsoft release the first episodic content for Dead Rising 3 with more episodes to follow later on.

Microsoft revealed earlier today that new Dead Rising 3 DLC is now available. Dead Rising 3: Operation Broken Eagle puts you in control of Spec Ops Commander Adam Kane on a mission that challenges everything he believes - to capture the missing President of the United States while battling the zombie apocalypse. This side story features a new mission, new weapons, new vehicle and more.

In order to enjoy this new piece of downloadable content you will need to download the 13 gig Dead Rising 3 patch that was released yesterday. Once you do that, and assuming you have the Season Pass, the DLC will automatically download for you and you will be able to access it from the main menu. If you do not have the season pass or you have your Xbox One completely shut off then you will have to start this download the old fashioned way.

“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," said Executive Producer Josh Bridge. "So, 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.”
