Operation Broken Eagle is the first of four DLC episodes planning for Dead Rising 3. This debut episode in the "Untold Stories of Los Perdidos" series stars Adam Kane, a spec ops commander. Kane heads into the zombie-infested town in order to find the President of the United States.

"In 'Operation Broken Eagle' you’re going in with a big military point of view and deadly weapons, including this awesome chaingun that just rips apart the zombies," executive producer Josh Bridge told Xbox Wire. "We really tried to focus on telling a single-player story with this experience and all of the cool things you get with the episode, including the weapons and items and vehicles, can be used in the Dead Rising 3 main storyline and in co-op as well."

Each of the "Untold Stories" will star a different playable character. The episodes will be priced at $9.99 apiece. Capcom is also offering a $29.99 Season Pass, which includes all four DLC packs and a bonus "Nick Ramos Tribute Pack".
