Gears of War 4’s Rise of the Horde Looks Awesome

Gears of War 4’s Rise of the Horde Looks Awesome

If you’ve stashed away Gears of War 4 somewhere on your shelves or your electronic library, you might want to get to searching! Gears of War 4 is getting a massive update dubbed “Rise of the Horde” on June 6.

The update is free to everyone (yahoo!), and includes brand new skills for all the classes, Loot Drops, and some other great stuff! All of the new and old skills can now be taken up to Level 6, so you’ve got even more room to grow than before. And there are 15 new skills, three per class, to explore. Engineers will get flow, overclock, and salvage. Heavies gets thick skin, berserker, and last stand. Scouts will have dodge, speed loader, and cloak. Sniper’s new skills are steady hand, magic bullet, and called shot. Last, but certainly not least, the soldier class will get siphon, resupply, and assault rifle accuracy. Some of these skills are pretty self explanatory, but for the others you can check out Gears of War.com .

The rest of the awesome Gears of War 4 news includes a free trial for Xbox One and Windows 10 players. You’ll be able to download Gears of War 4 for free between June 9 and June 15. You’ll get 10 hours of free gameplay, including the Campaign’s entire first Act. You’ll also have open access to the Horde and Versus experiences. There’s never been a better time to try before you buy this June. Another cool little fact, if you don’t play the entire 10 hours of the trial period during the event time, you can still finish those out after the fact. That’s pretty neat!

One last little big bit of news, crossplay has already existed in Gears of War 4 between Xbox Ones and Windows 10. But now you’ll be able to experience Ranked Play as well! This crossplay becomes active starting June 6. Gather your friends together to play!
