Gears of War 4 was hit with a giant update last month and almost exactly a month later, the developers are teasing their next update. At some point this month, Gears of War 4 players can look forward to two maps, including some new Windflare surprises, as well as a events and gear packs!
Here are the map details, as per The Coalition's wording:
New Maps
Raven Down
The fast and furious action of Gears of War 1’s Raven Down is crash landing into Gears of War 4! Set on a tight intersection with a crashed King Raven in the middle, combat on this map is up close and personal – frags can help you to get an edge in combat, but this map is all about your core Gears combat skills.
Reclaimed Windflare
The peaceful farm setting of Reclaimed is about to be ravaged by a Windflare! Previously only available in the campaign experience, Windflares are incredibly powerful storms that culminate in the fearsome stormwall with lightning bolts that can fry you in seconds.
As you play in Versus and Horde, the Windflare will periodically roll into the map, challenging you to battle your enemies and the elements. You’ll need to master movement in the strong winds and judge your aim with projectile weapons well in the wind. As the stormwall hits, prepare to dodge lightning bolts that target players – look for the telltale sizzle to know when to move!
Gear Packs
- Superstar Cole
- Craftable Character: Civilian Anya
Events:
- Raven Down 24/7: Raven Down will be run 24/7 across multiple game modes later this month.
- More for Horde Players: A new Horde event will release later this month.
