The two maps that will be going into rotation are Checkout and Drydock, two popular arenas from Gears of War 3. A couple of videos have been released giving us a closer look at the classic battlegrounds, along with a brief description.

Take a look for yourself below.

Checkout
 
“Revisit the iconic supermarket in Cole’s hometown of Hanover 25 years after the events of Gears of War 3 in this Legacy Map. Much like the rest of Sera, nature is reclaiming whatever it can following the Locust Wars, but that hasn’t slowed the fast, furious and frenetic combat that takes place between the checkout lanes and the electronics department.”

Drydock
 
“Transported from a COG ship building facility to a ship breaking scrapyard on a Seran mudflat, this fan favorite returns with a vengeance to Gears of War 4 Versus Multiplayer and Horde modes.”

Season Pass holders will have access to the two maps from 1 November via the Developer Playlists, which allows squads of up to three to play them in Dodgeball and Arms Race modes in Versus Multiplayer, and Horde mode while on normal difficulty.
 
The maps will be made available for free on all public playlists from 8 November. Two new maps will be added every month for a year on a rotation basis, with Season Pass owners given access to all of them for offline modes.
