Microsoft’s Inside Xbox show for Gamescom showed a bunch of new things about games we know about, and one of the company’s flagship IP’s was chief among them.
Gears 5 had its 5-player co-op Horde mode put on a pedestal with a world premiere first look at perhaps the most popular part of the Gears of War franchise.
Newly announced character skills are showcased (a drone is among them), creatures are popped like blood-filled balloons, and teamwork is on display in abundance. It’s quite something, and looks to continue that pure co-op mayhem of previous iterations.
There was also a video with developer The Coalition discussing how they approached this new twist on an old favorite.
Gears 5 is out on Xbox One and PC on September 10, with Game Pass players and those with pre-orders able to play 4 days early.
