Gears of War 5: The cover shooter from Microsoft Game Studios will only be called Gears 5 from now on. In addition to this information, there is now more and more fresh information.
The story picks up where Gears of War 4 left off, so you'll encounter the familiar characters again. This time you slip into the role of Kait and investigate her powers. In addition to the secrets, you will also learn a lot about her personal character development and the origin of the Locust. This is necessary in order to prevent the complete destruction of mankind. The characters Marcus Fenix and his son John JD will also play a role in the story.
The sequel builds on the cover and protection principle (Duck and Cover) proven in the previous games, which were very popular. You also get the chance to equip the character with any weapon to go into battle. You can choose familiar weapons from the previous games or you can choose new ones, such as a terrifying club. The game will come with a single player and multiplayer mode. With the multiplayer mode, Gears 5 wants to become part of the e-sports community. There is talk of tournaments and championships in which professional teams and players can compete. On June 14, 2019, the first live games in tournament form will take place as part of the new E-Sport Show EALEAGUE Gears Summer Series: The Bonds and Betrayals of Brotherhood. An Xbox teaser should already provide a small taste.
The well-known Unreal Engine 4 is used as the engine, as in the predecessors. The game will remain an Xbox One and Microsoft 10 exclusive title. It will thus be another Xbox Play Anywhere title.
