Gears of War 4 will be receiving its biggest update ever on June 6th, mostly targeting Horde mode.
Arriving on June 6th, the Rise of the Horde update will be free for all owners of the game. This update will introduce 15 brand-new Horde skills (three for each class), Level 6 skills, new loot drops, new balancing fixes and new difficulty levels.
Those who don’t yet have Gears of War 4 will also be able to try out the mode for free from June 6th to June 15th. This free trial will allow players to experience Act 1 of the campaign as well as access to Horde mode and Versus.
20 new achievements will also be added to the game worth 500G. The Legends of Sera achievement will require you to beat Ironman Hardcore with a friend so don’t think you can take this massive update on alone.
