Head past the break for a summary of the new maps from the press release. “Dark Corners” will be available separately on Xbox Live for 1600 ($20), though we can’t imagine why anyone wouldn’t just opt for the retail disc instead. The retail-only package will also provide some more incentive in a custom Live theme, poster, strategy guide, and an introductory video by Cliff Bleszinski. What’s interesting is that the press release mentions two ways to play this scenario: “guns blazing or in all-new stealth mode.” Curious, indeed! “Road to Ruin” sees Marcus and Dom teaming up again to go into the Hollow and take down some more Locust. The All Fronts Collection was to be sold as a retail package, and would have included all add-ons released for Gears of War 2, a poster, and a strategy guide for the game.

Epic has also managed to mix in something new with “ Dark Corners,” a pack that includes seven new multiplayer maps and a deleted campaign chapter called “Road to Ruin.” On May 6, 2009, Microsoft and Epic Games issued a joint press release announcing the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection, to be released on July 28, 2009. Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection DLC Guide by Doug Walsh, Jim Morey starting at 1.49. So, how does a company celebrate such a milestone? Enter the “All Fronts” compilation, a $19.99 (£14.99/€19.99 for our European brethren) retail disc that includes all of the game’s previously released DLC map packs ( Flashback, Combustible, and Snowblind). Gears of War 2 has done tremendously well, with Epic announcing that the game has sold over 5 million copies.
