News: Send... more... cowboys...

Rockstar has announced that the Undead Nightmare expansion for Red Dead Redemption is now available to download on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. You can experience the old west-style zombie apocalypse for just $9.99/800 Microsoft Points. The expansion also adds other new features to the game such as:

All-New Single-Player Story - as the frontier's last and greatest hope, it's up to John Marston to eradicate the zombie outbreak and discover a cure;

Undead Overrun Co-Operative Multiplayer Mode - band together as a team of 2-4 players and survive endless waves of undead horrors in a variety of locations;

Four Distinct Zombie Classes - including the Undead rank and file, Bolters, Bruisers and Retchers that will test your mettle and accuracy

The Blunderbuss - an all-new, all-powerful shotgun that not only uses zombie parts for ammunition, but adjudicates them in one shot

New Melee and Projectile Weapons - set zombies aflame with the torch, cleanse them with Holy Water and lure them towards certain doom with Boom Bait

Infected Open World - ambient challenges, zombified animals, mythical creatures and missing persons are scattered throughout the now-undead world of Red Dead Redemption

All-New Soundtrack

New Achievements and Trophies

A copy of Red Dead Redemption is required to play the Undead Nightmare expansion, but for players who are only interested in blasting zombified cowboys and indians, the standalone disc version of Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare is for you.

Rockstar has finally given the DLC compilation a release date, November 23, and a price, $29.99. The Undead Nightmare disc will include all of the previusly release RDR DLC and won't require a copy of the original game, much like the company's Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City pack.

We'll have more soon.
