Details On Gears of War: Judgment VIP Season Pass Announced

Epic Games has just released information regarding the content and pricing of its online VIP Season Pass for the upcoming Gears of War: Judgment.

Gears of War: Judgment releases on March 19 exclusively for Xbox 360, and if you want to experience everything it has to offer, you'll want to nab the VIP Season Pass. It costs 1600 Microsoft Point (the equivalent of $20.00 USD). This represent about a 20 percent discount over the full price of all the content purchased separately.

The VIP Season Pass will give you access to all available Judgment DLC, including "six multiplayer maps, two new modes and nine exclusive unlocks."

You will also get a permanent double XP boost (available only to season pass owners, which feels a bit unfair, but that's Epic's call) and early access to add-on multiplayer maps. You'll also get five exclusive weapon skins and four exclusive armor skins.

  • LMAO "two new modes"... and How much do you want to bet those are the modes that all the hardcore players are asking for. I see what you did Epic, milk your hardcore players while casuals buy the crappy streamlined game.

    Not falling for it. My advance copy of Gears Judgment is already collecting dust. I'm already back on Gears 1 and 3.
  • Now this is just getting ridiculous. Seriously companies enough with all this season pass junk. I really miss the times when developers actually cared about making new games and not squeezing as much money as possible out of the customers. I probably won't be picking this game up.
  • Nice.

  • Permanent double xp!?! I'm buying it! Plus it's only 20 buck not bad compared to Black Ops 2.
  • This is what game DLC has come to people, stop complaining - it's happened. It turns out that game development expensive, and devs want money. If that means asking for $20 for a solid amount of extra content, then that's how they'll do it. Would you rather a multiplayer game releases with a limited amount of maps and no promise of new maps or modes? It's becoming a lot to ask for free content these days, outside of updates. I'm excited for Gears: Judgment and I'll probably buy this pass if the game is popular enough.
  • Keep staying classy, Epic.

  • The permanent double xp isn't that bad considering you don't unlock anything as you rank up. Everyone has the same weapons.

  • On the fence about this one. I'd get it simply because I'm a Gears 3 fanboy in the flesh. On the other hand, my non-rabid, logical side says this is just a bs cash grab. For $20, the stuff offered doesn't add much to the game, not to mention the 2x EXP for holders is a jerk move.
  • Well... The only people who would really buy this is diehard Gears of War fans. Then again, people who are simply just interested in the game might get this too.
  • They need a season pass because they know lots of people will stop playing quickly so if they get them to get the season pass they can make more money.

  • "You will also get a permanent double XP boost (available only to season pass owners, which feels a bit unfair, but that's Epic's call)"

    Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade...

  • What happened to the free game modes we used to get in Gears 3?
  • What happened to the everything we liked in Gears 3

  • Execution has been confirmed for Gears of War:Judgment! Maxim sponsored the creation of two new maps and the Execution game mode where players must perform one-hit kills on their enemies to confirm death.  The two maps and execution game mode will be available as a FREE download on April 2nd!  Gears of War fans rejoice!

  • Just pre-order this game from the Microsoft store. They will give 1600 Microsoft points as a bonus

  • I actually like the idea of the Double Xp only the VIP pass members. BattleFeild 3 does something similar too this when they host double xp events
  • Six maps are not worth 20 bucks.  I really enjoyed Gears of War 3 even though I never purchased any map packs, guess I'll do the same here.

  • and the greatest part is... no need to download all that content!! It's already right on the disc waiting for you, they're just gonna wait a month or two to let you play it though;)

  • Get used to this guys. This is only a glimpse of what we will get when PS4 and Xbox 720 comes out. Nonetheless, I love this series so i will end up forking the money for this. I just hope they bring some classic maps from gears 1 again like canals, fuel depot, clock tower, and gridlock.
