About a month ago, Microsoft and The Coalition released Gears of War Ultimate Edition, a remaster of the original gears game with an addition five chapters of the game that were previously unreleased. With a month since release and lots of player feedback – it's about time they released an update.

Here's a full breakdown of the update:

Gnasher:
