Gears 5 Adds WWE’s The New Day as Playable Characters via DLC

3.8

Gears 5 gets an injection of fun and pancakes as the WWE's The New Day is joining Dave Batista as wrestlers in The Coalition's shooter.

The roots between WWE and the Gears of War team appears to run deep. Last year, the team added Dave Batista as a skin in Gears 5. Now, Big Dave isn’t an active WWE Superstar, spending more of his time yacking it up with that crew that guards the universe or whatever. However, the newest set of wrestlers to make their way into the Gears 5 universe are active talent. Announced today via Xavier Woods’ Twitter, The New Day is coming soon to an Xbox near you.

After playing @GearsOfWar for years (& reading the books 😳) I’m happy to announce that myself @TrueKofi & @WWEBigE somehow convinced them make us playable dlc characters in #Gears5 @Xbox
