The Gears of War franchise is definitely an interesting one. While the game’s overall core mechanics have changed little since the first title, the overall narrative and story has moved on to new protagonists and a new story of humanities struggles against a seemingly unstoppable enemy. Part of the latest updates to Gears 5 has been about tapping into a bit of nostalgia, such as the return of fan favorite Cole in the last Operation. And it seems that will continue, meaning the original crew can be back together.

A teaser dropped for next week’s Operation 4. As you can see below, it will feature the return of Dom, meaning that now the four protagonists that defined the original trilogy will be playable in multiplayer. Nothing else is detailed here, but presumably this will mean a new map as well as possibly a new game mode. It seems the Operation will be branded Brothers in Arms, which was a mode in Gears of War 3, so that could be seeing a return.

Gears 5 is available now for Xbox One and PC, with the game confirmed to get Smart Delivery for Xbox Series X. Operation 4: Brothers in Arms will release July 14th.
