Gears 5 fans have likely been enjoying the Xbox Series X/S update the team dropped alongside the consoles’ launch. However, you have to imagine fans are left wishing for something new to play within the universe. Thankfully, The Coalition has some great news. Launching December 15, Hivebusters is a new campaign expansion that adds some

The roots between WWE and the Gears of War team appears to run deep. Last year, the team added Dave Batista as a skin in Gears 5. Now, Big Dave isn’t an active WWE Superstar, spending more of his time yacking it up with that crew that guards the universe or whatever. However, the newest
Xbox Game Pass continues to be arguably the most attractive service in video games. Giving players and possibly even more important, developers a platform to get their games in front of more eyes at little cost for consumers. This is even more relevant for all the developers a part of Xbox Game Studios. In an
While last fall saw the release of Gears 5, the next mainline chapter of the series, Gears Tactics has released several months later with an entirely different take on the franchise. While traditionally Gears of War has always been about third-person shooting (and Funko Pops), Gears Tactics instead brings the series into the style of
The lineup of big releases for this spring has spread through a lot of different genres, from intense action games like Resident Evil 3 and Half-Life: Alyx, to platformers like Ori and the Will of the Wisps, to sprawling RPGs like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Persona 5 Royal. However, this week seems to be the time for strategy
In the last few weeks before I started up Gears Tactics to review, I had played through Gears 5 since I hadn’t quite gotten to it when it released last fall. Since it’s been some time since playing Gears of War 4, I felt familiarizing myself with the gameplay elements of Gears again would be
In a recent Polygon article, Splash Damage, the team behind Gears Tactics, gave some cool insight into how the turn-based strategy game came to be. In working with Tyler Bielman from The Coalition, the team was able to put together a rough board game design and work from there. Of course, this isn’t an incredibly
The Coalition and Splash Damage are collaborating to tell a new story within the beloved Gears of War universe. Gears Tactics is a turn-based strategy game and a prequel to the main franchise. Starring Gabe Diaz, the father of Gears 5 protagonist Kait Diaz, you will control his squad as you hunt down Locust leader
Gears Tactics, the very first Gears game featuring turn-based strategy gameplay, is just around the corner and Microsoft has summarized the upcoming experience in a new trailer.

In a report from DSOGaming, Microsoft has announced it’s giving PC players Gears 5 for free until April 12. This offer lets players experience Gears 5‘s single and multiplayer modes.

This spring has been a tricky one for the release of new games, with several high-profile releases (including most recently The Last of Us Part II) being delayed in light of the challenges that the coronavirus pandemic has presented. However, one of April’s biggest releases, Gears Tactics, seems to be primed and ready for its debut
It has been quite a long time since we’ve had a new edition of Inside Xbox — there hasn’t been a new episode in all of 2020 — but at long last, Microsoft is bringing back the showcase that’s dedicated to all things Xbox tomorrow. Occurring tomorrow on April 7, Inside Xbox is set to
I always thought that the addition of Batista to Gears 5 was a little out of the ordinary. While yes, he has been an advocate to play Marcus Fenix in the potential movie adaption of the series. However, there wasn’t really any connection to the game rather than that. To top that off, I always
Following yesterday’s news that The Coalition studio head Rod Fergusson would be leaving the developer to go to Blizzard, another prominent figure associated with the Gears of War franchise has offered to make his own knowledge of the series available to Microsoft, if they so desire.

Having worked on every entry in the history of the Gears of War franchise, The Coalition’s studio head Rod Fergusson today announced that he is leaving the developer to begin a new venture elsewhere.

As 2019 comes to a close, DualShockers and our staff are reflecting on this year’s batch of games and what were their personal highlights within the last year. Unlike the official Game of the Year 2019 awards for DualShockers, there are little-to-no-rules on our individual Top 10 posts. For instance, any game — not just
After being briefly revealed back at E3 2018, Gears Tactics, the spin-off strategy game set in the Gears universe, hasn’t been seen or heard from whatsoever. At long last though, it seems as though The Coalition and Microsoft are finally ready to break that silence and show more of the game in just a few short
Originally revealed last year, the upcoming Gears Pop! condenses the intense action and thrills of the Gears series into a far cuter, mobile-sized package, and now it appears that you’ll soon get to experience it for yourself. During Microsoft’s E3 2019 press conference, a new trailer for Gears Pop! was shown to give a look at the charming
Last month, we reported on a leak that seemed to reveal both the box art and potential release date of Xbox Game Studios’ upcoming release of Gears 5. At the time, we weren’t exactly sure how credible the leak was but now, thanks to official information directly from The Coalition, that rumor is seeming pretty
Earlier this year, 343 Industries and Microsoft announced that Halo: The Master Chief Collection would soon be coming to PC. This was an announcement that many had waited years to hear but perhaps the most surprising part of the reveal is that the game was also planned to be released on Valve’s Steam platform as well. As
E3 season is in full swing which means we’re starting to learn just more about what we’ll be seeing in about 10 days when the year’s largest gaming event starts to take place. As of this afternoon, we now know of two new instances in which we’ll be getting a look at Xbox Game Studios’
It’s been quite awhile since we’ve heard word about Gears 5, the upcoming Xbox One console exclusive from The Coalition and Xbox Game Studios. However, that silence seems to have finally ended today as new information for the title has now potentially come to light. As first noticed by the Hispanic site Generation Xbox, the potential cover
Late in 2018 at Microsoft’s X018 event live from Mexico City, the initial slate of Xbox One-compatible games that could utilize mouse and keyboard were unveiled with the promise that more titles would be added down the road. Well, now according to hardware manufacturer Razer, it seems like some of the biggest first-party releases–and some
Microsoft and Universal’s Gears of War movie has been in development since 2016, but like several video game film adaptations, not much has been heard about it since its initial announcement. That being said, The Wrap learned today that the Gears of War movie has received a brand new writer: F. Scott Frazier. While F.
Microsoft and The Coalition took a lot of folks aback earlier this year during E3 2018 when they announced Gears POP!, a new mobile game in the Gears of War universe that featured Funko Pops as all of the main characters. Fast forward to today and we have now received the first gameplay footage and explanation of just
San Deigo was host to the latest Gears Pro Circuit event over the weekend which saw an abundance of well-known teams battling it out for a shot at the title including Echo Fox, Nimbus, Reciprocity, and Spacestation with Optic Gaming and Ghost Gaming going head-to-head in the grand finals.

One of the bigger announcements that Microsoft had last week at E3 was the reveal of Gears 5, the next installment in the long-running Gears of War series.

Monster Hunter: World has easily been one of the most popular games of 2018 so far, and Capcom has been fantastic with dealing out new content regularly since release. According to one noteworthy developer though, there’s one new monstrous addition that he’d soon love to see in the monster hunting title. Earlier today, The Coalition’s Rod Fergusson,
