We now know when the next chapter in the Gears of War universe begins. October 11, Gears of War 4 will drop onto the Xbox One, with a multiplayer beta that begins this month.
The fans who played Gears of War: Ultimate Eidition on Xbox One or Windows 10 will be able to join the beta on Xbox One. The beta will then expand to all Xbox Live Gold Members starting on April 25.
Gears of War 4 was announced back at E3 2016 and marks the first new game in the series since 2003’s Gears of War Judgement. Now developed by The Coalition, Gears of War 4 stars JD Fenix, the son of Marcus Fenix, and is set 25 years after the events of Gears 3.
Fenix won’t be the only focal point of the story though, he’s joined by two other new characters in Kait Diaz and Delmont “Del” Walker. The game will take place over the course of a 24 hour period on the planet Sera and is said to once again feature the COG, but in addition will also feature another group known as the Outsiders, who are the people who live outside the walls of the city in this new Post-Locust era.
Shadow of the Erdtree will launch on June 21
This was originally a requirement when the game first launched.
A release date trailer was also released.
The port is developed by Ubisoft Sofia
