Microsoft showed off a huge new chunk of co-op gameplay from Gears of War 4 today. New weapons and plenty of brutal action filled out the demo. The gameplay showed a mission, played in co-op.
Complete with a the new swarm enemies, a new buzz blade weapon and even new finishers, the demo gives fans plenty to be excited about. And if that wash;t enough, it ends with our first glimpse of old man Fenix.
Revealed during Microsoft’s 2015 E3 conference, Gears of War 4 received a trailer and release date last year. Fans were able to catch a quick glimpse at a couple of the title’s new protagonists as they explored a haunted old building.
Gears of War 4 received a multiplayer beta during April, which saw nearly 1.4 million people getting to grips with the game’s online component. This figure led to the Gears 4 beta being heralded as “the best in the history of Xbox One,” and that the game would go on to be Microsoft’s “biggest game this year.”
April also saw confirmation of the game’s Ultimate Edition. Available both physically and digitally, you’ll be able to grab the game’s Season Pass, four day early access, and the Vintage Del Gear Pack.
Gears 4 takes places 25 years after the previous game, following Marcus Fenix’s son, JD Fenix and the rest of his team take on a new threat to society following the eradication of the Locust and Lambent.
