Microsoft has announced a Gears of War 4 Season Pass for DLC. The $50 package (not an uncommon price for passes for AAA games), includes an assortment of digital content like maps and more.
Announced on Xbox Wire, the Gears of War 4 Season Pass includes:
As announced previously, Gears of War 4 multiplayer DLC maps will be free, but are offered on a rotating basis. The only way to guarantee that you can play a specific map whenever you want is to buy it, either through the Season Pass or presumably as a standalone offering.
In other Gears of War 4 news, Microsoft has announced a $100 Ultimate Edition, which comes with the game and Season Pass; in addition, everyone who buys this version gets to play four days early. A $250 Collector's Edition featuring an awesome-looking JD Fenix statue has also been announced.
Gears of War 4 launches on October 11. You don't have to wait that long to play, however, as the game's open beta is going on right now.
