SYDNEY, Australia \u2013 28th<\/sup> April 2010 – Leading video game publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe S.A.S. announced that a new action-packed \u201cGAC Pack\u201d downloadable content (DLC) will be available in PAL Territories on May 26 for Xbox LIVE\u00ae Marketplace for Xbox 360 and PlayStation\u00aeNetwork. This new premium DLC pack will include two all new gameplay modes in addition to the \u201cJack Pack\u201d and \u201cShadow Pack\u201d DLC, which were previously only available to pre-order customers.<\/p>\n

Dead to Rights: Retribution<\/em><\/strong> is a ground-up reinvention of the multi-million unit selling crime action series. Thrusting players into a mature neo-noir crime drama as vice cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow, the game introduces an innovative new hybrid combat system that seamlessly blends third-person shooting with hand-to-hand brawling and AI partner. For the first time in the series, players will also be able to play as ferocious canine Shadow with his own unique gameplay style and feel. Deadly on their own, Jack and Shadow are even more formidable as they team up to defeat the threats they uncover in Grant City.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve completely rebooted the Dead to Rights<\/em> franchise to deliver a satisfying, visceral and action-packed gameplay experience for existing fans and new gamers,\u201d said Olivier Comte, VP Marketing, sales and publishing, NAMCO BANDAI Partners SA.S.. \u201cWe\u2019re boosting the action up another notch with an accessibly priced DLC pack filled with all new missions and game-enhancing bonus content.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cGAC Pack\u201d will include two new completely different modes of gameplay as well as exciting bonus options to enrich the player\u2019s experience with the core retail game. \u201cAssault on the 87th<\/sup> Precinct\u201d is a new mission that reveals a flip side to the story, allowing players to experience the action from the GAC (Grant City Anti-Crime) enemy\u2019s side of the battle. Players step into the boots of the GAC Sniper, Brawler and Tank characters as they converge upon the GCPD (Grant City Police Department) stronghold under orders to contain all police officers so they can secure a tactical advantage. In \u201cRiot Control Mode,\u201d Jack and Shadow fend off increasingly difficult waves of GAC forces to earn points and achievements based on speed and style, with high score bragging rights on international leaderboards. In addition, the previously exclusive \u201cJack Pack\u201d and \u201cShadow Pack\u201d are also included in the \u201cGAC Pack\u201d allowing players to access armor for Jack, stealth camouflage for Shadow, an \u201caction mode\u201d with explosive rounds gunplay, and a \u201cnoir mode\u201d with a black, white and red graphic filter.<\/p>\n

Developed by Volatile Games the \u201cGAC Pack\u201d DLC add-on content will be released on May 26 for Xbox LIVE Marketplace and on PlayStation Network. Players must have the retail game in order to access the \u201cGAC Pack\u201d content.
