Gears 5
This was a welcome reveal at E3 2018 following the announcement of Gears POP! I’m still blown away by Microsoft’s audacity to reveal something like that right before Gears 5. Odd reveal options aside, we need to get some more of Gears 5 news.
Gears 5 and Halo are the biggest exclusives we know that are in development. Halo is already confirmed for this year, but Gears 5 is still oddly missing. The trailer we saw last year seemed to hint towards a more story-driven take on the Gears of War franchise.
Since the lukewarm reception to the previous game, fans of the franchise have been looking forward to something new for a while. Gears 5 dev, The Coalition, may be taking a different path with this title, but that may be what Gears of War needs right now.
Chances are that they’re just trying to build anticipation by not giving everything away before June 9. This one seems like a shoo-in, and it better be or Gears and Xbox fans won’t be too happy.
