Dave Bautista, of WWE and Guardians of the Fame Galaxy, will be featured in Gears 5, and available from 15th September.
Batista, who portrayed Drax the Destroyer in Guardians of the Galaxy, will appear in Gears 5 as part of a collaboration between Microsoft and WWE. His arrival coincides with WWE 's Clash of Champions event – scheduled for Sunday, 15th September – and anyone can unlock Batista by playing either the PC or Xbox One version of the game between then and 28th October.
According to Gears of War series director Fergusson Rod, Batista has recorded over 7,000 lines of dialogue for Gears 5. "We started with the fantasy of 'Batista as Marcus,' putting Batista into Marcus 'armor, and starting with Marcus' script," he told Xbox Wire. "Then we added elements of 'The Animal' Batista into his voice performance and onto his look by adding his signature Hollywood shades to his character.Batista was great in the booth and I can not wait for Gears and Batista fans alike to stomp some Swarm as The Animal. "
