Capcom Vancouver released a new title update today for “Dead Rising 3” in advance of tomorrow’s launch of the game’s first DLC episode, ‘Operation Broken Eagle.’ The update introduces a host of improvements to single-player and co-op gameplay, including a variety of performance and stability upgrades, and fixes for issues related to achievements, UI updates, SmartGlass and more. Additionally, it adds a new impulse trigger feature that notifies players when they are running low on ammo.

Check here for a full list of title update fixes and an in-depth Q&A with “Dead Rising 3” Executive Producer Josh Bridge.

‘Operation Broken Eagle’ is the first episode in the “Untold Stories of Los Perdidos” DLC series. This single-player episode puts you in control of Spec Ops Commander Adam Kane on a mission that challenges everything he believes and sets him out to capture the missing President of the United States. ‘Operation Broken Eagle’ will cost $9.99 (USD) and features a new mission, five new weapons, one new combo weapon, one new vehicle, a new clothing outfit, plus additional Gamerscore and the ability to carry experience points back to “Dead Rising 3.”  

You can create an almost limitless variety of combo weapons. A sledgehammer or a saw might not hold off the zombie horde, but fuse them, and you'll have a fearsome sledge saw. As you progress, combination weapons become more deadly.

Dead Rising 3 also emphasizes vehicles, but zombies cling to cars, and that affects the vehicle's steering physics.

Newcomers to the series can explore at their own pace and enjoy the streamlined save system. Veteran players face tough zombies in Nightmare mode, which features a countdown clock.

Team up with a buddy for online co-op over Xbox Live. You can jump in or out at any time, and you'll both earn experience to progress in your own single-player games.

Dead Rising 3 and Xbox SmartGlass transform your tablet or phone into a zZombie defense PDA. Swamped by the zombie horde? You or your couch buddy can call in an airstrike. Ready to start a new mission? Incoming in-game calls and text messages deliver briefings.

With Kinect, the zombie horde can respond to noises within your living room. Use motion controls to fight out of grapples, use voice commands to control your survivors, and taunt your enemies!
