What Is Happening With Gears of War 5

There are two series (well three if you count Forza) that make having an Xbox an essential purchase for me. Those are first of all, Halo and then Gears of War. I could not be any more invested in the lore of Gears of War.

It is kind of amazing when you think about it. On the surface Gears of War looks like a generic, over the top, macho, meathead shooter…… well it kind of is. However, the story is just so strong that you really do care about these characters. Dom’s death (sorry for the decade old spoiler) is still one of the most hard hitting things I have experienced in a game, it was brutal!

Gears of War 3 ended the story perfectly for me and I kind of did not want another game. Well, Gears of War 4 came and it was fantastic. The presentation was impeccable and it is one of the best looking games on the Xbox One. Amazingly though they introduced some new characters, but not at the expense of the old ones, they bridged the two incredibly well. It is very similar to what Star Wars episode 7 did.

Anyway, it feels like forever since we got that Gears of War 5 trailer and the information has been pretty much nonexistent since then! Gears of War 4 ended on a massive cliffhanger and I need to know what is happening. So far all we know for sure is that the game is, first of all, a direct sequel to Gears of War 4.

And we also know (well I think it is more of a hope) that Gears of War 5 will be released later in 2019. 2019 is still the date that is floating around and I really do hope that this makes it in time for the end of the year. I would assume that this is the big game Microsoft have in store for us this holiday season.
