Wild Gunmen’s de facto official game, Red Dead Redemption is going to be getting some new downloadable content this summer, with new skins, new missions, and zombies.

There are four packs coming out, adding some multiplayer features that really, we all wanted to see in the boxed release. I’m talking about poker and horse races with your friends here. But still, late is better than never, and the opportunity for a weird west style level with zombies is pleasing to more than a few of us here at Wild Gunmen.

Details from the press release:

1) Legends and Killers Pack (Early August 2010, $10)

-New active map locations, characters and more
- 9 new multiplayer map locations — more than doubling the amount of territories in the multiplayer competitive modes
- 8 new multiplayer characters — play as characters from Red Dead Revolver
- Introducing a new projectile weapon: the Tomahawk, with corresponding challenges for single-player and multiplayer gameplay
- New achievements and trophies

2) Liars and Cheats Pack (TBD release date; $10)

- New competitive modes, multiplayer mini-games in Free Roam, and more

- Multiplayer versions of Liars Dice and Poker from the single-player game
- Introducing a new weapon: the Explosive Rifle, with associated challenges available in single-player and multiplayer gameplay
- New achievements and trophies

3) Free Roam Pack (TBD release date; TBD price)

-Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with
new modes, challenges and gang hideouts to discover
-New action areas and defensive placements
-Posse scoring and leaderboards

4) Undead Nightmare Pack (“Fall” 2010; $10)
