Details on first Dead Rising 3 DLC released, limited demo available (update)

The DLC puts players in the boots of Spec Ops commander Adam Kane, who is given a mission that “challenges everything he believes in” — he has to find and capture the president. Operation Broken Eagle consists of that mission, and also includes five new weapons, a new combo weapon, a new vehicle, an outfit and additional Gamerscore. Any experience points earned in the DLC will carry over back into Dead Rising 3 proper.

Operation Broken Eagle is the first of four add-ons in Dead Rising 3’s DLC season pass, which costs $29.99. Each DLC will cost $9.99 by itself. You can check out the first Operation Broken Eagle screenshot above.

Capcom Vancouver is also releasing a demo for Dead Rising 3. It will give players a chance to check out the district of Ingleton in the game’s open world of Los Perdidos. The demo will be limited to a 20-minute session that can only be played twice on a particular Xbox Live Gamertag.

Update: The Dead Rising 3 demo is available now on Xbox Live, and Operation Broken Eagle will be released next week, according to a blog post from Microsoft’s Major Nelson. In an interview with Microsoft representative Jeff Rubenstein, Dead Rising 3 executive producer Josh Bridge described the character of Adam Kane as a “by-the-books soldier” who “struggles to follow through on his difficult orders.”

Update 2: Major Nelson’s blog post no longer says Operation Broken Eagle will be available next week; instead, a Microsoft representative told Polygon it will be released Dec. 24.
