As predicted, Microsoft has announced two new
Gears of War games at E3 2018, and both of them are coming out in the next few years.
Gears Tactics is a Windows 10 exclusive strategy game similar to the
XCOM series, and the other one,
Gears 5 is the PC and Xbox One title that will continue the story of Marcus Michael Fenix, Kait Diaz, and living in the fallen world in the post-Locust War era.
Head of The Coalition Rod Fergusson has revealed that "
Gears of War is still the franchise name but now that we’re doing a family of products it made more sense to shorten the titles down – Gears Pop, Gears Tactics & Gears 5. Plus we always just call it Gears anyway so it feels good to simplify."
Gears 5 sees Kait taking front-and-center as the series' first female protagonist and the game will support online co-op and local split screen for two players. The Xbox One X and Windows 10 users will have a chance to experience 4K resolution with stunning HDR at a smooth 60 frames per second. Microsoft has released four new Ultra HD screenshots featuring the new main hero. Take a look:
In Gears 5 as Kait, journey across the biggest, most beautiful Gears world ever created. Play solo or with a friend in local split-screen co-op, or online co-op and experience every mode in 4K Ultra HD resolution with stunning HDR at a smooth 60 frames per second.
Gears 5 is coming in 2019.
