Gears of War 4 anniversary

Can you believe that today is Gears of War 4’s first birthday? Yes, you read that right – your favorite game is one year old.

The Coalition is celebrating this special day with Double XP, a limited time Golden Gear character to collect, the return of the fan-favorite Golden Gun event, as well as other treats.

As you can see, the information available about these anniversary events is quite scarce now. However, we expect TC to give gamers more details about these treats in the coming hours.

UPDATE: The treats are going up now.

The Golden Gear is now up for grabs. You can get Clayton Carmine with gold armor in exchange of your credits.
