Now as soon as the Gears of War 3 Season Pass was announced, which will include the Liquid Metal Lancer Skin and all the DLC released for the game for the next year.  The Pass will be available on Day 1 of the release of Gears 3, running you 2400 Microsoft Points ($30), giving you an estimated 33% savings off of the released DLC within a year from September 20th.  Now the Pass was promoted with a picture of Corporal Michael Barrick from Echo Six Squad as seen in the Gears of War Comic Books.

Liquid Metal Lancer Skin included with Season Pass

Now it has been speculated and since Epic will not confirm or deny whether Corporal Michael Barrick will be included in the Season Pass as a multiplayer character skin, the rumor is only growing stronger.  Then there is the obvious fact of why include Michael Barrick in the promotional picture.  So we will know for sure on September 20th or if Epic confirms/denies it before then.  Right now that answer is leaning more toward a yes rather then a no, right now though.  What do you think?

You will also be able to purchase a weapon skin pack on Day 1 including 22 skins.  Check out more info on that including all weapon skins in the game right here.

Microsoft has announced a $30 “Season Pass” for the upcoming Gears of War 3, which will include a heavily discounted rate for all upcoming DLCs of the game. Those who have the pass will be able to get the first four DLCs of Gears 3 “over the course of the next year,” with the first one coming out in November.

Season Pass holders will get a 33% discount on those four DLC packs.

You will also get an “exclusive Liquid Metal Weapon Set” for free.

The Season Pass will be available for purchase starting September 20, the same day the game releases. It will cost you 2400 Microsoft Points.
