Gears 5 will show what we really want to do – The Coalition

After having proven itself with Gears of War 4, The Coalition now wants to show what it really is about later.

Gears of War 4 It was a solid game, there is no doubt about it, but the problem most often cited is that it was too close to the franchise formula and did not really try again. Although the series was donated by Epic Games to The Coalition, a new studio, gears was still … well, gears.

With Gears 5The Coalition is really going to change things. In an interview with the Nerdbunker YouTube channel (which you can see below), coalition leader Rod Ferguson said that with Gears of War 4, the studio wanted to prove itself, and now that it has done that and shown to everyone that it can actually build a Weapons of war experience with Gears 5they will be much more ambitious, both in terms of storytelling and game mechanics.

"Basically, it was a reaction to what we wanted to do with the franchise," Ferguson said. "We were a new team, a new studio, gears came back after being on the set for a while and we did not want to play with the formula, we did not want to change it too much because we wanted to prove that we could build a Weapons of war experience. Now that we have done this and that people have accepted Gears 4 now it's an opportunity with Gears 5 bring the new one. We really want to show what we want to do with the franchise and where we want to win. Whether it's about changing the basic mechanics, the way we tell stories, or how to make certain aspects related to controls and gameplay, or to reach new types of gameplay mobile and tactics on PC. "

That seems to be something that the Coalition says quite often for the future, and that certainly made us very excited. Hoping that they keep their promises. Gears 5 is scheduled for a 2019 launch on the Xbox One and the PC.
