As expected, Microsoft announced two new major
Gears of War video games developed at The Coalition Studio at E3 2018 -
Gears Tactics, a Windows 10 exclusive strategy game similar to the
XCOM series and
Gears 5, a Windows 10 and Xbox One title that will continue the story of Marcus Michael Fenix, Kait Diaz, giving you a chance to revisit the beautiful fallen world in the post-Locust War era.
It looks like the Vancouver-based Coalition is working not only on the aforementioned games, but also a brand new Xbox One IP. After taking a closer look at Technical Art Director at The Coalition Colin Penty's LinkedIn resume, we can learn that he's a "
CG Supervisor" developing an "
Unannounced New IP (Xbox One)." Penty previously worked on
GOW: Ultimate Edition,
GOW4, and is supervising
Gears 5.
The fact that it's an Xbox One exclusive may suggest that it's an older project that has been scrapped at some point, as
GoW4 and
Gears 5 are both Xbox One X-enhanced. While it doesn't mention Windows 10 either, it's clear that this mysterious game will be available for PC (if it's still in the works and will be released), as the vast majority of Microsoft Studios' future titles will support
Xbox Play Anywhere.
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.
