Almost 20 years after the release of Gears of War, a game that created a franchise that would become a pillar of the Xbox brand, is again about to be remastered. Today, Xbox has announced via an Xbox Wire post that Gears of War: Reloaded is coming out later this year, almost exactly 10 years after the first remaster of this classic Gears of War Ultimate Edition which released in 2015.
Regarding today’s announcement, here’s what Xbox had to say:
Yes, you read that right “…more players than ever.” which means exactly what you think. Gears of War: Reloaded is also coming to PlayStation 5, meaning that for the first time, PlayStation players will be able to experience the start of this incredible franchise.
That is sure to upset some gamers, as we all know what the Gears franchise means to the Xbox platform, but as we have seen, exclusive content is no longer part of Microsoft’s gaming plans. Time will tell if that is truly the right decision, but I, for one, will never complain about more people getting to experience an incredible game. Let’s just hope that we get to see the rest of the original Gears trilogy...
