What's this? Has the Gears of War franchise traded sci-fi aliens for fantasy dragons? No, but I wouldn't blame you for thinking that, because I certainly couldn't help but notice the similarities between the beefy soldiers of Microsoft's third-person shooter series and Warcraft's Thrall as seen in newly-released Blizzard cosplay kits. And hey, that's fine by me - impossible proportions aside, I like the chunky, thick look. Plus, this goes to show how much a nice pair of shoulder pauldrons can really pull an outfit together.
Cosplay has always been a popular past-time with gamers, but it's only been recently that companies have started to release high-res assets as reference guides for fans, such as Guerrilla's recent Horizon: Zero Dawn Aloy cosplay guide. With the 10 kits provided by Blizzard earlier this week, those so inclined can now see virtually every piece of a character's outfit from multiple angles, helping cosplayers nail down the fine details of their costume.
