It's no secret that Zombie games are one of the most successful franchises of the Gaming industry. It appears that Rockstar's latest smash hit Red Dead Redemption will be getting it's own taste of this highly acclaimed game-mode:

The 'Undead Nightmare' DLC Package will feature a brand new Single Player 'adventure', 8 new multiplayer zombie Characters, new NPC enemies will be added to the world and more. This DLC pack will release at some point in Autumn (I.e. Late Autumn/October-September).
The first DLC pack for Red Dead Redemption has already hit earlier this month and Rockstar's current plans mean that all four DLC packs will be gradually made available by the end of Autumn. Rockstar tell us they want to greatly expand and improve the game from as it currently stands.
Without further ado, here are the contents and dates of the DLC packs:
[size=+1]Legends and Killers Pack; Release Date: Beginning of August[/size][/size]
<ul><li>Tagline: New active map locations, characters and more.
<li>Content:
<ul><li>9 new multiplayer map locations.
<li>8 new multiplayer characters from 'Red Dead Revolver'.
<li>The Tomahawk: A new projectile weapon. Challenges for this gun will be available in Single Player and Multiplayer.
(sounds like a fun thing to attack Dreamy's horse with =D).
<li>Additional achievements and trophies.
<li>Pricing: $9.99/~£7 (PlayStation Network), 800 Microsoft Points (Xbox LIVE).</ul></ul>
[size=+1]Liars and Cheats Pack; Release Date Unconfirmed[/size][/size]

<li>Content:
<ul><li>Attack and Defend multiplayer competitive mode and challenges.
<li>New multiplayer horse races, complete with mounted combat (presumably GTA-esque).
<li>8 additional multiplayer characters. Presumably previously NPC's from the information:
'The heroes and villains of Red Dead Redemption'.
<li>Multiplayer gambling: Liars Dice and Poker from single player will be playable with friends.
<li>A new weapon: The Explosive Rifle; Challenges for this gun will be available in Single Player and Multiplayer.

[size=+1]Free Roam Pack; Release Date Unconfirmed[/size][/size]
<ul><li>Tagline: Delve deeper into the world of Red Dead Redemption with new modes, challenges and gang hideouts to discover:
<li>Content:
<ul><li>Additional Free Roam Challenges.

)<li>Pricing: To Be Confirmed </ul></ul>
[size=+1]Undead Nightmare Pack; Release Date: Sometime in Autumn[/size][/size]
<ul><li>Tagline: Ghost towns and cemeteries come alive in a West gone horribly wrong.

This DLC scheme is definitely exciting and while I've never played Red Dead Redemption I'm certain this will greatly improve it. It's very exciting to see some less well known game-types featuring in a top of the range game. I'm always pleased to see the mainstream gaming industry branch out from popular experiences such as Modern Warfare 2. The development team are dedicated:

On the topic of developers caring and continuing to look after their game I'd just like to briefly doff my hat to VALVe. Team Fortress 2 has been available since 2007 and since then they've quintupled (5x) the size of the game in totally free updates! With 119+ free, comprehensive updates their long-awaited Engineer Update releases soon. They will have provided all their multiplayer classes (9) with at least 10 extra equippable, upgradeable items since launch. Congratulations VALVe, we salute you!

I might have to pick this game up if it has zombies. Looks like they're putting a lot of hard work into it.

Do a barrel roll!
Great improvements for an already amazing game! Zombies in the Wild West will be awesome! Imagine having a zombie horse as a mount? Or even a zombie bison/bull in multiplayer, haha!
