The Marcus Fenix DLC in particular would’ve had to deal with most of the beginning plot of RAAM’s Shadow, which dealt with the hammer after a locust invasion with caravans pulling away and rescuing someone from a bank vault. Gears of War 3 - Marcus Fenix Prologue DLC (RAAM’s Shadow Predecessor Prologue)īefore RAAM’s Shadow was finalized there were 3 DLCs in planned the main one that was turned into RAAM’s Shadow, a Marcus Fenix DLC (which explained the events more as to why he was sentence to prison,) and a Kryll\Locust invasion which starred characters like Rand and Jace (before he was transferred to Ephyra.) I’m sure there’s more people out there who would appreciate this.


Being a huge Gears 3 AND a Marcus fan, I figured I’d share this with the community. Although I did like it and was grateful for the story, experience, originality, and characters it added, I would have enjoyed this Marcus prologue more. I would have preferred this as a DLC over Raam’s Shadow. Seeing as Karen Traviss wrote the story for Gears 3, as well as the original 5 books which tells some of this story, it only makes sense though. I was impressed that there were events, dialogue, and specific quotes taken from the books.

It contains gameplay, cutscenes, and even dialogue. It’s a prequel that leads up to where Marcus abandons the mission and goes to save his father. I was browsing YouTube and discovered a scrapped Gears 3 DLC.
