Taking place 12 years before the original Gears of War, The Coalition’s studio head Rod Fergusson announced that the game will be “character-driven” and feature “faster, more aggressive gameplay” along with boss battles, too. Players can cycle through abilities and weapons to take down enemies, and they must use careful planning in order to direct their units from cover to cover.

Fans of this franchise will also be happy to hear that Gears of War 5 was revealed earlier today at E3.
