We're all excited for a Gears 5 Gamescom 2019 announcement this August. During E3 2019 one of Microsoft's main attractions during their conference, alongside Halo Infinite, was Gears of War 5, one of the most loved and storied franchises was already announced to have the fifth installment in the works but we have seen little to no gameplay so far. With the looming Gears 5 release date in just a few weeks, it comes as a surprise to many that they are still showcasing new information about the game. With an ample of announcements at this past E3, we are days away from the German game convention Gamescom 2019. The German video game fair has been known to divulge juicy first looks and never before seen information.
During Microsoft's E3 2019 conference we got a glimpse of the new escape building mode along with the three-player Co-Op mode. They did not showcase any campaign stuff although we have yet to be revealed any concrete information about it.
So what can we expect to hear out of Microsoft next week? Let's explore the possibilities.
New Campaign Information
Ahead of the annual Gamescom convention next week, Microsoft has confirmed to us that we will for sure be seeing new campaign information this coming Monday to kick off their Gears of War 5 show. With fans speculating for months what the campaign could entail we may have a better idea as we approach the date
Rumors are circulating that we will be spending some time playing between Marcus Fenix, J.D. and others. As well as female character Kait has been confirmed to lead as the games the main protagonist. The Coalition studio head Rod Fergusson is calling Gears 5's story mode the "biggest ever." It will be exciting to see what we learn next week, will just get some details or a full-on trailer?
Horde Mode
Introduced during Gears of War 2, Horde mode has quickly become of the most popular Gears of War Multiplayer modes to date. The official announcement of the Gears of War 5 Horde mode is set for Aug. 19 at 5 p.m. CEST (11 a.m. EST) which is right before the campaign reveal.
With rumors circulating of Horde mode characters being granted abilities much like Overwatch, this could be the most action-packed Horde mode yet. Studio head Rod Fergusson only briefly mentioned Gears 5's horde mode during Microsoft's E3 conference, so next week is finally when we get a full look at the Horde mode.
