Gears of War Officially Changes Its Name

4
The Gears of War franchise had an incredible time during the Xbox showcase at E3 2018 with not only a new narrative focusing on Kait, but even an adorable Pop Vinyl version of our favourite soldiers! But it's not just chibi-sized versions of our favourite characters getting a revamp, but the name of the series itself as well.



Though Gears of War 4 was referred to multiple times as simple Gears 4, it eventually went back to the full version of the game name. It looks like Gears 5 has more staying power, because the man himself, Rod Fergusson, just confirmed that the simplified version will be what ships when the game officially launches sometime in 2019.

We're definitely excited to see Kait back in action and witness an entirely new side to the dynamic character. According to Microsoft, "Humanity’s reliance on technology has become their downfall and enemies are uniting to wipe out all survivors. As Kait, journey back to uncover the origins of the Locust, and fight with your squad to protect what’s left."
