Gears 5

Gears 5

The latest instalment in the Gears of War series is coming.. 

Developed by The Coalition company and published by Xbox Game Studios, the third person shooter is due to be released this year, but there is no exact date as of yet. This game will be available on Xbox 1 and PC. The sequel to Gears of War 4 will feature several game modes powered by the Unreal Engine 4, these modes include single player, split screen and, of course, multiplayer.

There isn't much to go on looking at the official Gears of War Twitter page, there is only 2 tweets regarding Gears 5. Click on the statements below to take you to the orginal tweet:

- When you see a Stump, you take cover. Fast #Gears5
- War returns to Sera. This is #Gears5

For those of you who have played the previous games, you will notice some new characters, also some old ones return. The game follows a new character called Kait Diaz, an outsider of Locust descent. You will play through the game to unlock the secrets and origins of her family. Characters JD Fenix, Delmont Walker and Marcus Fenix return to the series, after appearing in Gears of War 4.

Information about this game is been kept quiet for now, but we know by the history of Gears of War series, Gears 5 will deliver a quick paced game play and a great story line. Gears 5 is defiantly a game to watch out for this year.

I have been speaking to @ShepTargaryen (SM, BF) who is a Gears fan and happily answered some questions.

TG SmokeyB: Are you looking forward to the release of Gears5?

ShepTargaryen: I am with all my heart and soul, Gears 5 being announced has had my heart racing and my soul bouncing and my mind thinking due to all the love for the game i have had since the start and the lore behind it.

TG SmokeyB: Which other games in the series have you played?

ShepTargaryen: I have played every Gears game to date, 1, 2, 3, 4, judgement (the pre 1 and after 3) this includes all but 1 DLC which is raams shadow but one day i am going to get the DLC and go back and go ham in that xD 

TG SmokeyB: From currently details released about Gears5, what are you looking forward to the most?

ShepTargaryen: If im honest, im not much of an online Gear fan, i do respect and love the online aspect with multiplayer and horde (and other modes they have done) but i am a sucker for the story line, mainly playing it coop with a friend from the start and even judgement with a 4 coop. I am excited to see where the story now will go and lead us as clearly they will leave it open for another game after with all the traction behind this franchise, and i do love (SPOILER) how they are progressing kait (spelling may be wrong on her name) and how her grandmother is the infamous locus queen and how marcus knows from how he reacts and might be going along in the story as some redemption or maybe a full goal to find out the reality with the locust and how there is a human descendant. 

TG SmokeyB: What is it that attracted you to the Gears of War series?

ShepTargaryen: Well as i have said more domenently throughout the questions it's the lore, story telling, the emotions, the complexity and all out way they have the story. It has so many turns, ups and downs with a fair amount of emotional love and heart ripping moments like Gears 2 and 3 with doms path, going from how he finds his wife to then realising he had to ease her pain from the suffering she has had in the hands of the locus to his emotional and heroic moment in 3 that all gears fans will never forget. Plus it just keeps on giving in the story line even when you think it might be done with. Also, i can't say all this without the love of blood, guts and gore the game gives expecially how the first game set a really amazing standard for how games are seen but that good feeling when you are stuck on a level to then beat it by chainsawing the last guy and having the satisfaction of a release of anger ect on that moment. 

Thank you @ShepTargaryen for taking part in this interview.
