Later in the week we will see some new Gears of War content hit the Xbox Live Marketplace. A Gears of War related video is scheduled to hit the marketplace as well as 2 new Gears of War multiplayer maps.

Mark Rein of Epic Games stated that there will also be an update released for the game prior to the release of the new content. Supposedly it will be to address certain glitches in the campaign as well as some exploits in the multiplayer mode. We can only hope that the update will add some more needed game types, though it seems unlikely.
The best bit about this news is that the maps are going to be free, which will certainly please chainsaw psychopaths the world over.

Some details about the new maps:

Raven Down: 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.

Old Bones: 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.
