It's been over a year since Gears 5 launched, and the Co-Opticrew is finally getting back to it. Nick just wrapped up the campaign and will be heading into the new Hivebusters DLC that just launched, and the whole team decided to dive into the Escape mode, the new 3 player co-op scenario in the game.
Gears 5 kicked off its second “Operation” (i.e., season) last month, called “Operation: Free For All.” The Title Update 3 brought a slew of bug fixes, maps, and the new Free For All PvP mode to the game, but that’s not all we got for December. Much like in real life, Christmas came upon us and the COGs faster than we had anticipated and with it came some holiday-themed content for Gears 5 in the form of the annual Gearsmas event.
There are quite a few open-world/survival games out there these days; from the fantastical to the prehistoric and even in space, you're not lacking for options. However, not all of these games support co-op play, and even fewer (none?) support mechs. Enter Iron City Games' open-world, survival/tactical FPS game, GearStorm.
Time to bust out your favorite bandana and crush the nearest creatine shake, cause Gears 5 has slammed its way into stores. While the latest entry into the Gears franchise has technically been out since its "Early Access" release on September 5th, it wasn't officially available to the general public until the 10th.
Gears 5 is here and with it comes a brand new co-op mode called Escape. Don't fret - returning is Horde and of course campaign co-op. Below we dive into all the technical details of what makes co-op, co-op in Gears 5. Let us know if you have any additional questions and we'll update the FAQ.
A few days ago, The Coalition lifted up the curtain on the new Horde mode for the forthcoming Gears 5. While many of the same systems from Gears of War 4 are returning (i.e., using a Fabricator to build fortifications/guns, gathering energy to power the Fabricator, equipping cards on your character), there are a few tweaks, too.
At the end of every month, we Xbox Live Gold members are on the edge of our seats for the new games that will become free the following month, and the recently-released game lineup for August 2019 does not disappoint. Beginning August 1st, 2019, Gears of War 4 is free to anyone who is an Xbox Gold member, with Forza Motorsport 6 becoming free August 15th, with Gears of War remaining free until August 31st and Forza free until Sep 15th. Both games are only available on Xbox One, as the Xbox 360 is given its own games for the program.
Last month, The Coalition showed off the new three player co-op mode that, Escape, will be a part of Gears 5 when it arrives in September. Rather than staying in one spot and fighting off wave after wave of enemies, Escape puts you in the boots of one of three members of a "Hivebuster" crew and tasks you with being able to get out from the middle of a Hive before the angry Swarm, or the deadly bio weapon you deployed, takes you out. In three new videos, you can now get a chance to "meet" the members of the crew and go ahead and call "dibs" on your fave.
So much news, so little time! Rod Fergusson, studio head for The Coalition, took the stage during Microsoft's E3 press conference this year to talk about the newest entry in the Gears franchise, Gears 5. The last time we heard anything much about this game was during last year's E3, and it was a little surprising that not only did they have a new mode to show off and talk about, but a release date: September 10, 2019.
If you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription, then you can check out Gears of War 4 for free starting today. You'll be able to play through as much of the campaign and Horde modes (and competitive multiplayer, too) as you like until 2:59 AM EST on Monday, February 4. After that time with the game, if you decide you want to keep on playing, then you'll be able to buy it and keep your progress.
Microsoft's E3 2018 press conference wrapped up just a few hours ago, and there were some exciting things announced, like a new Halo title, Dying Light 2, and Gears 5. While Microsoft Studios is making the right moves towards "hey, come check out our excellent console," it was a bit disappointing that they didn't have more to say about what they were showing.
As predicted, Microsoft have announced two new Gears of War games coming out in the next few years. While the other one, Gears of War Tactics is a PC exclusive strategy game similar to XCOM, Gears 5 is the PC and Xbox One title that continues the series 3rd person action.
