Today, Microsoft and Epic released Fenix Rising, the third game add-on for Gears of War 3. The latest DLC pack features five new multiplayer maps inspired by the "life and experiences of Marcus Fenix." Fenix Rising also introduces 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.

With the purchase of the add-on, players who attain level 100 will have a choice to “Re-up” for another tour of duty. 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 a new wings color each time: Red, Green, and Gold. The rank number will also be colored 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.

Fenix Rising is available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points or included as part of the Gears of War 3 Season Pass. For more info on Fenix Rising, visit gearsofwar.xbox.com .
