The 2018 E3 Expo may be over, but we’re still digging through all the huge announcements and trailers that dropped during the big show… like Microsoft’s announcement of Gears Tactics.
The Coalition’s Rod Fergusson got on stage at Microsoft’s E3 Briefing to talk about the turn-based strategy game, which is currently in development exclusively for the PC:
I’m excited to also announce a true Gears of War PC experience in a completely different genre, Gears Tactics. You create a whole new squad, 12 years before Gears of War 1, as they hunt the Locust monster-maker responsible for destroying whole cities. It’s our take on the classic turn-based strategy genre with a character-driven story, faster [and] more aggressive gameplay, a customizable squad and equipment, and of course, it wouldn’t be a Gears game without massive boss battles.
Gears Tactics is currently in development at Splash Damage, and Microsoft plans to announce more details about the game at a later date. The short teaser trailer from the Microsoft E3 Briefing has been embedded above.
