Today we’re excited to announce the Brothers to the End Elite Gear Pack, a new pre-order bonus included in all editions of Gears of War 4. This pack pays homage to some of the most beloved characters from the Gears of War universe, and extends the tradition of offering gold weapons to day one players.

New and current Gears of War 4 pre-order customers will receive three unique characters.

“Tomorrow Anya” is named after her famous words following the end of the Locust War (“Tomorrow Marcus. We finally have a tomorrow.&#8221 Her appearance is based on her look in the Gears of War 4 television commercial, “Tomorrow,” where she was introduced as the mother of JD Fenix.
“Old Man Marcus” features an older Marcus Fenix as unveiled in the E3 2016 media briefing demo. Twenty-five years after the Locust War, Marcus and the COG have long since parted ways. His facial hair has grown long and his COG regulation kit has been replaced with by civilian clothes.
“Zombie Dom” proves there’s no keeping a good solider down, at least in the form of this character skin created as tribute to Marcus’ dearly departed best friend Dominic Santiago.
The Elite Gear pack also includes the Gold Wave Lancer and Gold Wave Gnasher — updated versions of the gold weapon skins awarded to the series’ most-dedicated day one players.

All new and current pre-order customers will also receive the previously announced Vintage Del Pack, which includes the Vintage Del character model and retailer-specific bonus items, including unique weapon skins.

Finally, all pre-order customers will receive the entire Xbox 360 Gears of War collection for use on Xbox One. This includes all four previous games – Gears of War, Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 and Gears of War: Judgment – and is available only as a limited time offer.

LOL Zombie Dom. That's hilarious and fucked up.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Oh god! Dom! Not like this.

Really buried the lead there.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I pray to God Zombie Dom is in the story

 

[The Flash]

Might as well throw Dom's wife in there too

 

[Heysoos]

Well that's one way to bring Dom back, lmao

 

[SOR5]

The Coalition don't give a fuck

 

[Jimmyfenix]

So the focus is on the older character's?

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Zombie Dom....

Da fuq

 

[The Lamonster]

No Hawaiian shirt Marcus?

WTF.

 

[tearsintherain]

If you pre order from best buy, you get a cool copper mug and a set of coasters. Honestly I'm more excited about a cool gears of war mug than the game itself, gonna be way too busy with every other new game (Deus Ex, FF15, Titanfall 2, etc) to play much GoW.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Well that's confirmation for those wondering if Dom is really dead, I guess. Haha.

 

[NoLongerALurker]

Zom Dom... the feels are real. Old man Marcus hype though. Time to go preorder

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Disappointed Tomorrow Anya doesn't look as old as Marcus.

 

[RSTEIN]

 

[Zareka]

Wow. Leave my man Dom to rest, MS.

 

[Plywood]

I pray to God Zombie Dom is in the story

lol

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I pray to God Zombie Dom is in the story

It's possible since in the story you are fighting

Spoiler

zombie locusts that have resurrected by some virus or something.

 

[BY2K]

Zombie Dom is all kinds of fucked up.

 

[Nirolak]

It's possible since in the story you are fighting

Spoiler

zombie locusts that have resurrected by some virus or something.

Ideally he shows up and acts like nothing is unusual at all.

 

[Valhalla Rapids]

So can all of this be unlocked in game? because it says 'Unique' characters.

 

[SOR5]

BTW I know its a different title but whilst were here Recore pre-order comes with a hologram ooo how dey do that no one knows

 

[Nori Chan]

Not like this

If his voices are just zombie noises I'm going to cry

 

[Moofers]

For anyone panicking that Zombie Dom is the only Dom we'll get, bear in mind that Gears 3 multiplayer had all kinds of dead characters you could use as skins. Lt Kim, General RAAM, etc. I'm sure we'll get "classic Dom" as well.

 

[Ascenion]

If we get Zombie Dom it's only fair to have Zombie Myrrah too.

 

[krang]

That's a little fucked up, but I love Zombie Dom

 

[Mifec]

How are they gonna do my boy Dom "LET ME TALK ABOUT MY WIFE MARIA" Dominguez like this?

 

[Courage]

I pray to God Zombie Dom is in the story

gotta help him find Zombie Maria

 

[ViewtifulJC]

gotta help him find Zombie Maria

*zombie voice* MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[krang]

gotta help him find Zombie Maria

I would totally be down with this as non-canon SP DLC.

 

[Gorillaz]

The disrespect dom gets is hilarious. He is always taking some loss.

 

[Mifec]

dom killing his wife is one of the funniest moments in gaming history

 

[aBarreras]

How are they gonna do my boy Dom "LET ME TALK ABOUT MY WIFE MARIA" Dominguez like this?

Dominguez?

it is Santiago, asshole

dom killing his wife is one of the funniest moments in gaming history

wow, you really are an asshole

 

[Skilotonn]

Yo damn!

I was expecting Old Man Marcus for this, with him in full armor like he is in the Campaign for completing the game. But Anya is a nice bonus - and Zombie Dom is the best just for how unexpected he is!

I was wondering how they were to incorporate getting this Gears' Gold Weapon skins, and there you go - nice!

Now to see how Horde looks.

 

[Billfisto]

“Tomorrow Anya” is named after her famous words following the end of the Locust War (“Tomorrow Marcus. We finally have a tomorrow.”)

Ahh, those famous,stirring,dare-I-say iconic words that everyone remembers so well.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The models look genuinely terrible for a current-gen game.

 

[Crankshaft]

Zombie Dom? Brutal.

But really, shouldn't Dom be burnt?

 

[dankir]

Zombie Dom? More like Lobo right?

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

Nice! It's a good thing these weren't a retailer exclusive. I can see a lot of Zombie Dom models running along the maps during the launch window. It'd be cool if they also included Zombie Carmine .

 

[molnizzle]

I would totally be down with this as non-canon SP DLC.

Or also as canon DLC.

 

[aBarreras]

when preordering from the xbox store, it charges right away or until the game launches?

 

[Darryl M R]

MAAARRIIIAAA

Spoiler

Decent bonuses

 

[Grisby]

Ha ha ha. Zombie Dom.

Ideally he shows up and acts like nothing is unusual at all.

Mariaaaaarrghhhhh. Brainssssss.

 

[shoreu]

dom killing his wife is one of the funniest moments in gaming history

What that was horrible Dom had a terrible life and I literally screamed when he died

 

[DylanEno]

Does a mad world jingle play every time Zombie Dom dies?

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Poor Dom. No mercy.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Put in Zombie Tai too.

It would be impossible to headshot him. Best competitive skin for multi

 

[jbug617]

Depends on how you pay. When you get the email confirmation for your preorder it will say the date you will be charged

You can purchase games available for pre-order using credit on your Microsoft account, a credit card, or both. You’ll be charged at different times depending on how you pay:

Microsoft account credit. If you pay for your pre-order completely with credit from your Microsoft account, the credit will be subtracted right away.

Credit card. Pre-orders made using just a credit card won’t be charged until right before the game is released.

A combination of account credit and a credit card. If you don’t have enough credit to cover the whole cost of the pre-order, you can combine payments. Your account credit and credit card won’t be charged until right before the game is released.

Once a pre-order is placed, you’ll receive an email notification that includes the details of your order and the date when your credit card will be billed.

 

[samuraidino]

wow, you really are an asshole

I'm going to agree with him on this one. Dom's wife's death is one of the most unintentionally hilarious things Iv seen in a game.

The thoughts of him raising the gun thats about twice the size as her head I fucking broke out in a roar of laughter.
