The second piece of story DLC for Resident Evil 5, Desperate Escape, was released today. However, much like Capcom's other blunder (which has still not been fixed) the achievements are not available on xbox.com and thus can not be properly unlocked and added to your gamerscore.
I will make another news post when the achievement list is properly updated (or update this one if it happens sometime today), so until then I would suggest not playing the DLC. However, if you can't wait, it should only be a simple fix of recovering your gamertag once the achievements show up on xbox.com for unlocking. Hopefully.
Regardless, here are what the achievements are (via the dashboard):
Getaway - 15G - Complete "Desperate Escape" on any difficulty setting.
The Great Escape - 15G - Complete "Desperate Escape" with an S rank.
Run the Gauntlet - 40G - Complete "Desperate Escape" on Professional.
Way of the Warrior - 15G - Defeat 150 enemies singlehandedly in one playthrough of "Desperate Escape."
Shoot the Messenger - 15G - Defeat 3 Agitator Majini in one playthrough of "Desperate Escape."
"This is the second installment of new content for RESIDENT EVIL 5. After Jill Valentine is rescued by Chris Redfield, he leaves her to finish his mission. Find out how she made it out on her own, and what role Josh Stone played in her escape. This package also allows you to unlock two new characters in the all-new The Mercenaries Reunion. Play as one of the stars of RESIDENT EVIL 0, Rebecca Chambers, or take on the role of Delta Team's commander, Josh Stone. There are also additional figures available in Extra Figures to round out this action-packed package."
I'm not sure if this an ongoing thing with Capcom now, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. For those of you wondering, the "other blunder" the author is talking about is the DLC for Dark Void. It's been out almost a month and still has yet to be fixed. I'm pretty sure that Capcom will get this fixed asap, but if Dark Void is any indication, I wouldn't hold my breath. So for those of you that were hoping to rush through this today and get the quick achievement points (looks at you CGC aka Setsuna), you may want to give it a day or two and make sure it gets fixed.
