Two brand spanking new maps will be available for Gears of War this Wednesday, January 10th.

There will also apparently be a video of Cliffy B available…

Why anyone would want to see that goof any more than necessary is beyond me.

The two new maps will be as such:

Raven Down: A Raven Helicopter has gone down in the middle of a large scale battle with the omnipresent Locust Horde. Gears have taken out the Seeder and gamers join Delta Forces moving into the crash site from all angles to search for survivors.

Old Bones: In an attempt to eradicate any traces of human history and culture, the Locust Horde has emerged under Sera's Capitaline Museums and has begun to destroy them brick by brick. Each gamer's mission is to help the Delta Force recapture the museums before all remnants of humankind's existence are obliterated. 

Museums? Eh, could make for an interesting level layout I suppose but Gears will certainly never win any awards for storytelling.
