The next title update for Gears of War is currently going through the certification process. We'll have more detail about the update next week but I can tell you that in addition to fixing a whole bunch of glitches, and providing 720p for VGA users running at 1280x1024, it will contain a brand new multiplayer gametype called Annex.

Some folks who got to play it a few weeks ago said they think it is our best multiplayer gametype yet but I'll leave it for you fans to decide what you think for yourself when it shows up soon on Xbox Live. More details next week.

This is an excerpt of a post made on the Gears of War official forum. As you can read, it seems that we'll soon have something like a new territory-based multiplayer mode along with, we hope, some bug-fixing code.

Epic has confirmed that they have this DLC in their pipeline and that it will be completely free.
