Gears of Conflict has been dormant for a good whereas. The final mainline recreation in Xbox’s much-beloved third-person shooter sequence was 2019’s Gears 5. Developer The Coalition additionally put out the technique recreation Gears Techniques alongside Splash Harm in 2020, however when it comes to a brand new shooter, issues have been quiet for nearly half a decade. That could be altering quickly, as a tweet from one of many sequence’ voice actors is hinting at a brand new Gears of Conflict announcement this summer time.
Liam McIntyre, the actor who performs Gears of Conflict 4 protagonist and Gears 5 supporting character JD Fenix, posted on X (previously Twitter) about coming into the X-Males ‘97 Xbox sweepstakes to attempt to win an X-Males-themed Xbox. A fan responded by asking about JD’s destiny within the Gears of Conflict story, referring to his doable demise in Gears 5, relying on participant selection. The query was if JD’s demise could be “canon” within the Gears universe, in response to which McIntyre (maybe by accident) teased that information concerning the subsequent recreation could also be coming in June.
“I don’t know,” the actor tweeted. “I feel @GearsofWar tells us all in June. :)”
Based mostly on his realizing this unannounced element, it seems like McIntyre could be doing work on the subsequent Gears of Conflict, which probably means JD can be alive in some capability (until he seems in flashbacks). If JD is the character Coalition strikes ahead with, that probably means Delmont Walker—the opposite ally the participant has to decide on whether or not or to not save in Gears 5—won’t be in future video games in any respect. Or maybe the sport will break up into two totally different realities. Or possibly McIntyre is simply hoping he’s bought a gig arising.
Ideally, future Gears video games would let the participant choose who they selected to outlive at first of the sport and have one or the opposite present up, so the whole selection isn’t wiped away. One thing like how Mass Impact 2 and three had both Kaidan Alenko or Ashley Williams proceed to play a component within the story relying on what the participant did within the first Mass Impact.
Regardless of the case, if JD is within the subsequent Gears in some capability, it seems like it will likely be a correct sequel fairly than the reboot unique lead Cliff Bleszinski thinks the sequence would possibly want. It seems like all these questions could be answered in June. A Summer season Sport Fest reveal, maybe?
