The official Gears of War Russian site has accidentally leaked a full list of features for the Gears of War remake on Xbox One. The game website details what content will be in the package, and new features exclusive to the Xbox One version.
Gears of War will be remade for Xbox One with new content exclusive to the release. The game will ship with new achievements, and a total Gamerscore of 1250G available. The game will have all content from the PC version, and a re-vamped multiplayer mode, running at 60 frames a second, with dedicated servers. It also appears skill-based matchmaking will be implemented. The title is set to be available August 25th 2015.
The site can be viewed here.
The site uses a Gears of War 3 image, but its most likely a placeholder. Below is the full list directly translated from the website. The translation is in broken English, however is mostly self-explanatory.

The features are similar to what we have received for other first party titles, such as Halo: The Master Chief Collection. We will most likely hear more about the Gears of War release at the Microsoft Press Conference tomorrow.
