The Coalition has been busy creating new content each and every month for its player base. After several themed contents and events, "Gears of War 4" brings two brand new maps, the return of Benjamin Carmine, who met his end during the events of Gears of War, and enhancements for Windows 10 users.

According to Game Spot, known as Dawn and Security, "Gears of War 4" players are getting their hands on two new maps. Dawn is a brand new map which was set in a scenic outsider village build around an abandoned mining facility. Dawn combines with two defensive structures at both ends of the map; a Dropshot spawn point that charges risk-it-all type gameplay and mixed tight corridors with open spaces.

As for Security, the second map update of a re-imagining of the popular "Gears of War 2" multiplayer map updated to support "Gears of War 4" style gameplay and respawn based modes like team Deathmatch. Security map is now based around a COG depository, complete with stacks of gold bars perfect for makeshift cover along with defensive lasers which prevent access to certain areas until they're deactivated after a player presses a nearby button.

According to Xbox Achievements, for Windows 10 players who use multiple graphics card setups are also getting support with this newest "Gears of War 4" update. One of the most exciting facts of this announcement is that Benjamin Carmine is returning to the series. Benjamin Carmine met his death in "Gears of War 2" where players have a shot to unlock Zombie Ben Carmine in "Gears of War 4" May Gear Packs.

This new content will come in time for Season 1 of the competitive multiplayer "Gears of War 4" similar to "Overwatch," in which players play a number of placement matches in order to determine their rank, and then try to climb the tiered ladder. Meanwhile, "Gears of War 4" is available now on Windows 10 OC and Xbox One.
