Gears of War 4 is adding an additional content pack to its extensive list of pre-order bonuses. The newly announced Brothers to the End Elite Gear Pack includes three distinctive characters, plus the Gold Wave Launcher and Gold Wave Gnasher weapons. The offer is being extended to new and existing pre-orders for both the Standard and Ultimate editions of the game.
The Elite Gear Pack is being added in addition to the existing bonuses like the Vintage Del content pack, retailer-specific bonuses, and the Xbox 360 versions of the first four Gears games playable on Xbox One. The characters included in the Elite Gear Pack are Tomorrow Anya, Old Man Marcus, and Zombie Dom. Microsoft describes them as follows:
- “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 4 television 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.
Gears of War 4 launches on Xbox One on October 11, 2016. The game is Xbox Play Anywhere compatible and also runs on Windows 10 PCs.
