Gears of War 4 July Update Is Now Available

The latest update for Gears of War 4 has just been released, altering Horde Mode and introducing two new maps into the multiplayer mix.

The first map, Raven Down, is a remake of the original map from Gears of War 3, while Reclaimed Windflare is a modified version of Reclaimed.

In addition to the two new maps, there will also be two events, the first being a 24/7 playlist of multiple game modes on Raven Down, and the second is a variant of Horde called ‘Anything Goes’, pitting the player against 50 waves of randomised enemies.

Check out the full list of changes below:
