Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare release date nailed

A double whammy of Red Dead news today, starting with the confirmation that the Undead Nightmare DLC will be available on Xbox Live and PSN later this month on October 26. The pack includes new single player and multiplayer content for Rocktar’s western corker.

“Undead Nightmare turns the world of Red Dead Redemption upside down,” said Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games. “The supernatural vibe and the return of some favorite characters create a whole new game inside an already incredible world.”

This new adventure sees John Marston riding out against a plague of the undead that are terrorising the uninfected civilians fighting for survival. Apparently taking down zombies requires the use of ‘non-traditional weaponary’ including series newcomers the blunderbuss, tomahawk and explosive rifle. Undead Nightmare costs 800 MS Points or £7.99 on PSN.

The second snippet of news is the announcement of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare in a single disc that will include all previous DLC, as well as the new pack, much like the Episodes From Liberty City disc for GTA4. This pack costs £24.99 and will be available ‘everywhere very soon’.
