Gears of War Patch and Downloadable Content Planned

Epic Games plans an update patch along with new multiplayer maps.

Epic Games released a list of updates that will be included in a patch for their XBox 360 title, Gears of War. Fixes include voice issues, patches for multiple game bugs and additional anti-cheating security.

Two new multiplayer maps will be available on Wednesday, free of charge. "Raven Down" is described as, "A Raven Helicopter has gone down in the middle of a large scale battle with the omnipresent Locust Horde. Gears have taken out the Seeder and gamers join Delta Forces moving into the crash site from all angles to search for survivors."

The second map, "Old Bones," is described by Epic: "In an attempt to eradicate any traces of human history and culture, the Locust Horde has emerged under Sera's Capitaline Museums and has begun to destroy them brick by brick. Each gamer's mission is to help the Delta Force recapture the museums before all remnants of humankind's existence are obliterated."
