Fenix Rising Rises Today

 

Today, Microsoft and Epic released “Fenix Rising,” the third major game add-on for Gears of War 3. Featuring five brand new multiplayer maps as well as four character skins and a new experience system that allows players to rank up through level 100 four times to unlock exclusive emblems and weapon skins, a bit like Call of Duty’s Prestige Mode.

If you decide to buy the DLC on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points or you’re a Season Pass owner, players who attain level 100 will have a choice to “Re-up” for another tour of duty to showcase their valour and dedication as elite Gears of War fan. Their experience and rank will be reset, but all other progression (including TrueSkill rating) will remain intact. Players can “Re-up” up to three times, earning new wings colours each time: Red, Green, and Gold. The rank number will also be coloured Red, Green, or Blue. Each “Re-up” level also awards the player an exclusive, custom weapon skin that cannot be obtained by any other means.

As you know, “Fenix Rising” expands the multiplayer battlefield with five new maps – Academy, Anvil, Depths, Escalation, and the Slab – that will be available for Versus Multiplayer, Horde and Beast Mode. Additionally, players who purchase “Fenix Rising” will gain access to four new character skins (Recruit Clayton, Thrashball Cole – Limited Edition, Savage Marauder and Savage Kantus – Limited Edition) for use in Versus Multiplayer and Horde Mode.
