Gears of War 4 December Update Brings New Maps and Features

Take the fight to Speyer and Glory this month.

By Chloi Rad

Gears of War 4 is getting a big update on December 6, which will add two new maps, several fixes, new features like a Daily Rewards system, and more.

New maps enter public playlists on December 13 for free, but Season Pass holders will have access early, on December 6. The maps include a district called Speyer that is "a still image of pre-Locust War life," and a military fortress called Glory, complete with a mounted turret overlooking an open courtyard. As a result, the Gridlock and Relic maps will be rotated out of the public playlists for now.

Additional improvements and features include a Daily Rewards system, vertical split-screen for Windows 10, audio/video adjustments, and more.

The Coalition also teased that new content will be coming via the "Gearsmas" holiday-themed event this month, however no other details have been announced yet.

You can find more details on the Gears of War 4 update on the official Xbox news blog.
