In a move we've been loudly hoping to see for years, we're finally getting a new Gears of War, simply titled Gears 4. It stars two brand new characters, lightning tornados, and chainsaw guns - basically, everything we want to see out of a brand new Gears, so we're off to a good start.
Announced at Microsoft's E3 press conference, the new Gears trailer features our two unidentified protagonists - a woman, and a man who might be named Matthew and is significantly more handsome than Marcus Fenix - wandering through an exceptionally dark cave environment full of glowing locusts pods. While a bit hard to see, the level rings of the close-up horror vibe of the first Gears, suggesting the series is getting back to its roots in the midst of what looks to be a full reboot, if the absence of Marcus and friends is any indication.
