Courtesy of IGN First, a new multiplayer map for Gears of War 4 has been revealed with ‘Impact’.  This multiplayer map is described as a “symmetrical, multi-level playground” and you can take a look at the map via the two videos found below.  The first video shows-off some gameplay footage in action, while the second video gives us a flythrough of the map.

 

 

Also, when the awesome looking Gears of War 4 Limited Edition console was announced, the press release contained some minor details to some pre-order bonus content.  Well now we have further details on that content with some images to boot.  Not only will you get some Gold Wave weapon skins, but you will also get character skins for Marcus, Del and Anya, and Dom, yes Dom, in the form of a zombie!  You can check out the images of the pre-order bonus content below.

As an added bonus for a limited time, those that pre-order Gears of War 4, will be granted digital codes for all four Xbox 360 Gears of War games to be played on your Xbox One console.

Gears of War 4 will be available for Xbox One and Windows 10 on October 11th.

New and current Gears of War 4 pre-order customers will receive three unique characters.

  • “Tomorrow Anya” is named after her famous words following the end of the Locust War (“Tomorrow Marcus. We finally have a tomorrow.”) Her appearance is based on her look in the Gears of War 4television commercial, “Tomorrow,” where she was introduced as the mother of JD Fenix.
  • “Old Man Marcus” features an older Marcus Fenix as unveiled in the E3 2016 media briefing demo. Twenty-five years after the Locust War, Marcus and the COG have long since parted ways. His facial hair has grown long and his COG regulation kit has been replaced with by civilian clothes.
  • “Zombie Dom” proves there’s no keeping a good solider down, at least in the form of this character skin created as tribute to Marcus’ dearly departed best friend Dominic Santiago.

The Elite Gear pack also includes the Gold Wave Lancer and Gold Wave Gnasher — updated versions of the gold weapon skins awarded to the series’ most-dedicated day one players.

All new and current pre-order customers will also receive the previously announced Vintage Del Pack, which includes the Vintage Del character model and retailer-specific bonus items, including unique weapon skins.

Finally, all pre-order customers will receive the entire Xbox 360 Gears of War collection for use on Xbox One. This includes all four previous games – Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 and Gears of War: Judgment .
