Gears 6 will soon make a heartbreaking return
One of the most credible predictions regarding the upcoming Gears 6 announcement comes from Jeff Grubb. In a recent podcast, he indicated that it would take place during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 9, as part of Summer Game Fest. A prediction that seems logical, coming from a generally well-informed personality, but it remains just that. However, another particularly tangible proof has emerged regarding the very upcoming announcement and long awaited by fans. This time it comes to us from Liam McIntyre, the voice of JD Fenix (the son of Marcus Fenix). The character served as the main character in the fourth installment and as a squadmate in the fifth. It is here that SPOILERS are likely to appear. So you should skip the next paragraph and the tweet below if you want to avoid them.
A fan asked X.com about the fate of JD Fenix in Gears 6. In the previous episode, in the shoes of Kait Diaz, we have a terrible choice to make. Towards the end of the game we have to choose between saving Del and JD. Inevitably, saving one will seal the fate of the other. The fan then asked the question of which choice will be considered canon by The Coalition in the sequel. To which Liam McIntyre, voice of JD Fenix, replied: “ I've no idea. I think Gears of War will tell us all this in June! “. The imminent announcement of Gears 6 therefore leaves less and less room for doubt.
What to expect from the sequel to the flagship Xbox exclusive?
What especially upset fans when it came to Gears 6 was the very long radio silence from The Coalition on the subject. Apart from a stunning technical demo of Unreal Engine 5, we have barely heard about this sequel in five years. On the technical side, it seems that the next game from The Coalition is going to impress us, guts and guts included. But the studio should not forget fluidity, which is so important in an action game of this ilk.
When it comes to the gameplay itself, fans of the franchise should be on familiar ground overall. However, it seems that The Coalition intends to push, at least in the campaign, the semi-open world zones introduced in the previous opus. The franchise long known for its corridors should therefore open up even more in Gears 6. We will know for certain, unless the Locusts decide to exterminate us before, on June 9th.
