New Gears of War content is soon on it’s way. Two new maps sponsored by the Discovery Channel are coming sooner rather than later. The new content will be available free for download on the Marketplace this Wednesday, January 10.

Raven Down and Old Bones are the names of the new maps. In Raven Down, players will be fighting in and around a downed raven helicopter like the one ridden in during the single player campaign. Old Bones is located at an old Sera Museum that has being ravaged by fire from Locust attacks.

Along with this content, The Discovery Channel will be giving away two million Microsoft Points. The contest will be done at readyaimfire.com. The site though, won’t launch until January 13th. If visited now you’ll just see a Godaddy parked page. According to Joystiq the site will only be available on the 13th and 14th. So set your count down timers to make your run at even more free points.
