Two new Gears of War 4 maps release November 1st for pass holders

The first set of new maps for Gears of War 4 is coming November 1st for season pass holders. It will include two maps as part of the program of releasing two new maps every month for a year. Everyone who is not a pass holder will need to wait until November 8th to pick up the new maps.

The first map is called Checkout. Revisit the iconic supermarket in Cole’s hometown of Hanover 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3 in this Legacy Map. Much like the rest of Sera, nature is reclaiming whatever it can following the Locust Wars, but that hasn’t slowed the fast, furious and frenetic combat that takes place between the checkout lanes and the electronics department.

Transported from a COG ship building facility to a ship breaking scrapyard on a Seran mudflat, this fan favorite returns with a vengeance to Gears of War 4 Versus Multiplayer and Horde modes. In addition to the release of these fan favorite maps, tune into Xbox Wire on November 1 for a sneak peek at the Run the Jewels “Air Drop” featuring playable Killer Mike and EL-P characters for Versus Multiplayer and Horde.

Pass holders will only be able to play the new maps in Versus Dodgeball and Arms Race mode with up to three players in that first week of testing before they open to everyone. You can see both videos with one up top and one below. Let us know what you think of the new maps below.
