While I still have a review in the works for Red Dead Redemption (Hey, I just had a kid last month!) you’ve probably all picked up and experienced the incredible game already, have made your way through the co-op missions and are itching for more. Rockstar’s got you covered.
They just sent over a press release that shows plans for four new downloadable packs, all very varied, containing both single player and multiplayer additions. But the one that will undoubtedly get the most attention is the “Undead Nightmare” pack, which will bring zombies to the world. Yes, everyone apparently still loves zombies, and judging by how popular the
Call of Duty and Borderlands DLC has been, it’s no wonder that even
non-horror titles have tried to incorporate them. Some more successfully
than others, of course (Crackdown 2, I’m looking at you…)
Here’s the full info for all the upcoming DLC-
Legends and Killers Pack
New active map locations, characters and more:
• Release date: beginning of August 2010;
• 9 new multiplayer map locations — more than doubling the amount of territories in the multiplayer competitive modes;
• 8 new multiplayer characters — play as characters from Red Dead Revolver;
• Introducing a new projectile weapon: the Tomahawk, with corresponding challenges for single-player and multiplayer gameplay;
• New achievements and trophies;
• Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE).
Liars and Cheats Pack
New competitive modes, multiplayer mini-games in Free Roam, and more:
• Release date: TBC;
• Attack and Defend multiplayer competitive mode and challenges;
• New multiplayer horse races, complete with mounted combat;
• Play as the heroes and villains of Red Dead Redemption, as well as 8 additional multiplayer characters;
• Multiplayer versions of Liars Dice and Poker from the single-player game;
• Introducing a new weapon: the Explosive Rifle, with associated challenges available in single-player and multiplayer gameplay;
• New achievements and trophies;
• Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE).
Free Roam Pack
Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with new modes, challenges and gang hideouts to discover:
• Release date: TBC;
• Additional Free Roam challenges;
• New action areas and defensive placements;
• Posse scoring and leaderboards;
• New anti-griefing measures in Free Roam;
• Pricing: TBC.
Undead Nightmare Pack
Ghost towns and cemeteries come alive in a West gone horribly wrong:
• Release date: TBC;
• Brand new single-player adventure, challenges and quests;
• 8 new multiplayer zombie characters;
• Additional animals unleashed in the world;
• New dynamic events and more;
• Pricing: $9.99 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE).
“Additional animals unleashed in the world”? I like the sound of that. As well as the idea of multiplayer Poker and Liar’s Dice, especially considering how much time we’ve all wasted on those games already in singleplayer…
More details, screens and trailers will undoubtedly be released soon- we’ll keep you updated!

Is anyone else annoyed that so many games do so much multiplayer only DLC, despite only like a quarter or less Xbox users subscribing to gold and therefore able to make use of multiplayer DLC?
^As jam-packed as this game is with content and the free co-op pack they just gave us last week, no, I'm not annoyed. Rockstar is anything but greedy.
One of the biggest parts of RDR is the multiplayer.
Also, isn't it better for them to have seperate dlc for single and multiplayer? so if you don't do one you can stick to only getting the other?
I don't care what anyone says. Zombies, new animals, and much more mixed with the wild west!!!! Can't get any better(unless you get John Marston zombie guy, which sounds possible). Besides Call of duty and borderlands was okay with the zombie mode but not as fulfilling or as exciting as RDR sounds with zombies!! Can't wait.
werewolf anyone? chupacabra? thunderbird? BIGFOOT?
Sounds exciting! But if this has anything to do with the actual story mode this will just ruin the game. john and any other dead character shouldn't be in this and u definitely shouldn't be jack. (i like jack but i think that he should have a full game) that would just ruin the actual story mode.
This will ruin the game for me and anyone who appreciates the semi-realism in RDR ..
I was going to keep it for the new sp dlc but after finding out its stupid zombies Red Dead will be traded in.
