Gears 5
Developer: The Coalition
Platforms: PC, Xbox One
Release Date: 2019
Don't let the title fool you - they may have dropped "of War," but Gears 5 is another entry in the Gears of War series. Even more confusingly, it is actually the sixth entry, since Gears of War: Judgment came between the third and fourth games.
Those semantics aside, it seems like we can expect more of the third-person, cover-based shooting that the Gears series has always done so well. Many characters we know and love, including series mainstay Marcus Fenix, will be returning in Gears 5, but it will pick up where Gears of War 4 left off. Players will control Kait Diaz, who is searching for the origin of the Locust and her own family history.
Gears 5 will feature both single player and multiplayer and crossplay between Xbox One and PC players. It is expected to release sometime in 2019.
