If you have been collecting the Gears of War Funko Pop! vinyl figurines, then you might just look forward to collecting them in a mobile device next year. Microsoft announced at the E3 last week during the Gears 5 presentation that a “Gears Pop” mobile game is in the works and due for 2019.
Watching the trailer, Microsoft will have a cute game in their hands as the Gears of War characters, in Funko Pop! form are adorable to look at. The other game company that can think of such cute games is Nintendo with their Splatoon shooter game for the Wii U and Switch which are both mobile gaming platforms.
Now for the non-cute, serious shoot `em video game, “Gears 5”, as Microsoft officially calls Gears of War 5, it will be mainly cast Kait Diaz who was first seen in Gears of War 4. Not much details were revealed about the story of Gears 5 except that she had a vision and needs to go “back where it all began”, but the game will feature split screen and online coop play. If you want to play the game in full 4K glory, better have the right graphics card, as this will be at 60 frames per second and is HDR.
Gears 5 will be available next year for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs.
Another game under the Gears of War franchise is called “Gears Tactics” and it is a PC- turn-based strategy game. Players can customise their squads and this game combines signature fast-paced action, character driven storytelling with massive boss battles.
So that means there are three “Gears” games that will be released by Microsoft next year as they company looks to expand Gears of War as another massive gaming franchise like Halo. Watch the E3 Keynote presentation to catch all the information available for “Gears.”
