Gears of War 3: Fenix Rising DLC on the way

Epic Games has announced that the latest batch of downloadable content for Gears of War 3 is set to be released next month.

Entitled Fenix Rising, the new DLC pack adds new multiplayer maps and character skins, plus a new level-up system that will provide an extra challenge for hardcore players.

Using the new Re-up system, gamers who manage to attain the coveted level 100 ranking will be able to resest their level back to the beginning and start again, allowing them to unlock exclusive bonuses for doing so multiple times.

Meanwhile, the new maps will include environments such as Academy, Anvil, Escalation and The Slab, letting players do battle in famous locales from the Gears universe.

Gears of War 3 has proven to be one of the year's biggest and most acclaimed Xbox 360 titles, with multiple DLC packs having been released for the game thus far.

The most recent, RAAM's Shadow, was released earlier this month and allows fans to play as the infamous villain General RAAM.
