While we got our first glimpse at Halo Infinite yesterday, we have no idea when Microsoft is returning to their signature franchise. The same can’t be said for the Gears of War, as Microsoft unveiled Gears 5 during their Xbox E3 Briefing with a Cinematic Trailer and a Gameplay Trailer.
This time around, players will spring into action as Kait Diaz (Laura Bailey), as she tries to save humanity alongside JD Fenix (Liam McIntyre), Del Walker (Eugene Byrd), and Marcus Fenix (John DiMaggio). With such a big cast, Gears 5 will be fully playable with a partner in local splitscreen or online co-op:
Sera is crumbling, your enemies uniting. Humanity’s reliance on technology has become their downfall and enemies are uniting to wipe out all survivors. As Kait, journey back to uncover the origins of the Locust, and fight with your squad to protect what’s left.
Gears 5 is currently in development at The Coalition, and it’ll be released for the PC and Xbox One in 2019. And don’t forget to check out both new trailers after the break.
