Synopsis
[edit]![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Gears5_Kait_and_Marcus_amulet.jpg/220px-Gears5_Kait_and_Marcus_amulet.jpg)
Gears 5is set on the world of Sera and takes place months after the events ofGears of War 4.The majority of its narrative focuses onKait Diaz(Laura Bailey), originally a member of a human faction known as the Outsiders who resist the totalitarian rule of the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG), the dominant human nation state in Sera headquartered in the city of New Ephyra. Subsequent events in the narrative forces Kait, who had experienced recurring nightmarish visions afterGears of War 4,to discover the origins of the monstrous Locust Horde that threatened the human civilizations of Sera a generation before, as well as the truth behind her connection to Myrrah (Carolyn Seymour), the deceased Queen of the Locust.
Kait is accompanied by her friend Delmont "Del" Walker (Eugene Byrd) and a robot named Jack for the majority of her journey. Del's best friendJames Dominic "JD" Fenix(Liam McIntyre) is theplayer characterfor the first chapter ofGears 5.Other important characters include JD's fatherMarcus Fenix(John DiMaggio[b]);Damon Baird(Fred Tatasciore), a former comrade of Marcus and the creator of Jack; Fahz Chutani (Rahul Kohli), a former friend of JD and Del; and COG First Minister Mina Jinn (Angel Desai). By the events ofGears 5,Kait, JD, Del, and Marcus are officially reinstated in the COG Army and reformed as the new Delta Squad.[9]
Plot
[edit]Delta Squad travel to the ruins of Azura to restore an old superweapon network called the Hammer of Dawn. Shortly after their return to New Ephyra, First Minister Jinn directs them to assist the evacuation of COG Settlement 2. It is revealed during the battle that JD, Del, and Fahz had previously been deployed in Settlement 2 to quell a riot, which resulted in civilian deaths and prompted JD and Del to go AWOL, and that it was JD who gave Fahz the order to open fire on the civilians, causing Del and Kait to lose their trust in him. As the Swarm threatens to destroy the evacuation convoy, JD orders Baird to fire the Hammer of Dawn prematurely. While the Swarm forces are annihilated, the Hammer of Dawn malfunctions and begins firing wildly, severely injuring JD.
Four months later, Kait and Del go to an Outsider village located inthe skeleton of the Riftwormto try to convince them to join the COG. The village chief, Kait's uncle Oscar, refuses, but they are suddenly attacked by the Swarm. Kait is captured by a Snatcher and experiences vivid visions of controlling the Swarm forces. She escapes the Snatcher but is unable to prevent Oscar's death which she witnesses through her visions. COG reinforcements then arrive to evacuate the village. Kait tells everybody about her visions, and Marcus recommends she head to New Hope, a secret lab Marcus previously investigated to find answers about the Locust, with Del joining her. At the lab, they learn the facility used the children of Imulsion miners afflicted with Rustlung for genetic experiments. Among the children was a female subject immune to Imulsion's ill-effects, and instead grew stronger with Imulsion. Kait and Del later find clues leading them to Mount Kadar, the former Locust stronghold.
Kait and Del reach another secret COG lab hidden beneath Mount Kadar. There, they find an AI construct of scientist Niles Samson, who explains that the Locust were the result of his experiments by hybridizing the DNA of Imulsion-infected children with the indigenous creatures of the Hollow. He also reveals that Queen Myrrah was the child at New Hope who was immune to Imulsion and could control the Locust due to her stem cells being used to create them. However, when her newborn daughter Reyna, Kait's dead mother, was taken away by the father, Myrrah led the Locust to rebel against the scientists and gain their independence. Kait realizes that she is the next in-line for queen and demands to be separated from the Swarm's hivemind. Niles puts Kait in a brain-computer interface connected to a dormant Berserker called the Matriarch, which successfully severs Kait from the hivemind but also resurrects Reyna in the process, this having been Niles' true intention. Niles is destroyed by the revived Matriarch, and Kait and Del kill it before escaping the facility. Realizing that Reyna is now the Swarm's queen, Kait reaffirms the COG's need to reactivate the Hammer of Dawn.
A few weeks later, Baird takes the group to the Vasgar desert, where the Union of Independent Republics' secret space program was located. They meet Baird's former squadmate Garron Paduk, who reveals that the UIR had a rocket loaded with Hammer of Dawn satellites ready to launch. JD and Fahz arrive to help, with JD apologizing to Del and Kait for his previous deception and subsequent behavior. The squad manages to assemble and launch the rocket and acquire targeting beacons to help control the Hammer of Dawn, though they encounter a giant Swarm creature called the Kraken. The group escapes when Paduk picks them up in a Raven to fly them home.
At New Ephyra, Jinn attempts to arrest Kait, intending to forcibly connect her to the hivemind in order to find the central Swarm Hive. Before she can do this, however, the Swarm attacks New Ephyra. The Gears attempt to set up UIR targeting beacons to provide targeting data to the Hammer of Dawn, but the Kraken destroys them. The transformed Reyna appears and attacks Kait, JD, and Del, forcing Kait to choose to save either JD or Del, leaving Reyna to kill the other. Kait and the survivor fight their way back to their friends but are attacked by the Kraken. The remaining soldiers are soon overwhelmed until the squad's robotic companion, Jack, kills the Kraken by sacrificing itself as a targeting beacon for the Hammer of Dawn. In the aftermath, Marcus tells Kait that Reyna will return, with Kait remarking that they will find her first before discarding her mother's Locust necklace.
Development
[edit]Gears 5is developed byThe Coalitionas a sequel toGears of War 4.Unlike previous games in theGears of Warseries, the game is simply titledGears 5(without "of War" included in the title).[10]Xboxmarketing boss Aaron Greenberg explained that the new title was "cleaner" and that it was a natural change because most people had been ignoring "of War" for years.[10]ForGears 5,The Coalition decided to shift player focus from JD Fenix to Kait Diaz. According to studio head Rod Fergusson, "It was a natural choice. When you play throughGears 4,think of it asMad Max: Fury Road.It was reallyFuriosa's story, andMaxwas the side kick. That's how it felt inGears 4,the whole game is about saving Kait's mom, and really JD is there to help her. "[11]

Gears 5has received "generally favorable" reviews, according toreview aggregatorMetacritic.[20][21]Critics praised the gameplay, campaign, presentation and amount of content, but criticised the story and lack of innovation. Many critics praised the game for being a successful return to form for the series.[32]
Ryan McCaffrey ofIGNgave the game a 9/10 in a raving review, stating: "It’s not surprising at all that Gears 5 is an excellent third-person action game. This iconic series has never really had a misfire, even when changing hands from original developer Epic to The Coalition, and the hot streak remains unbroken. What was unexpected is just how effectively it doubles down on story with a character-focused, consequence-filled tale that plays to one of the franchise’s most underappreciated strengths and backs it up with fun, welcome additions to both its gameplay formula and flow. And that’s just the campaign: add in a heavy-hitting multiplayer lineup of Versus, Versus Arcade, Horde, and Escape and it makes Gears 5 one of the best and most versatile action-game packages in recent memory."[30]
Andrew Reiner ofGame InformerratedGears 5a 8.5/10, concluding: "Gears 5is exactly what it needs to be. This old war vet still packs a punch. The open-world exploration has issues, but that isn’t enough to steal away the thunder The Coalition expertly deploys on the battlefield. The campaign is a fun ride that concludes with a shocker moment and a hell of a setup for a sequel. I’m already looking forward to that follow-up. "[26]
Wesley Yin-Poole, deputy editor ofEurogamerrecommended the game with a 4 star rating out of 5. He concluded: "The campaign really is great. Perhaps even better than great, the more I think about it. All the new things about it - the open world stuff, Jack's powers, the light RPG elements, the side quests - all this stuff was done better years ago by other games. But those other games weren'tGears of War,which has actual decent third-person shooting, actual interesting things happening, and a story that doesn't try hard to win awards. But while Versus, Horde and even Escape are, ultimately, fine, they're let down by the party pooper progression system. The hope is The Coalition tweaks how the battle pass works, because as it stands,Gears 5's grind is depressing. "[25]
Phil Hornshaw ofGameSpotrated it a 7/10, praising the "open areas" within the campaign and the "character moments" within it. However, he was critical of most of the campaign feeling "inconsequential" after the second act and the campaign feeling like a "rehash of earlier games." He concluded that "Gears 5is very much a return of those best elements ofGears of War,but with a focus on making the game feel somewhat more adaptive to your particular ways of playing. Whether you want campaign or co-op, Competitive or Quickplay, there's an option for you inGears 5,and plenty of stuff to reward you for time spent and skill gained.Gears 5might suffer from some of the same storytelling missteps as its predecessors, and it might not venture far out of the past, but the new ideas it brings to the series are all good reasons for fans to return. "[33]
Justin Clark ofSlant Magazinegave a rating of 4/5, writing: "Escape stands out in particular because of just how much work has gone into makingGears 5otherwise accessible. TheGears of Warseries has been broken of its worst habit: trying to put up the front of being better or harder or more stoic than the rest, allowing the deeper implications of its lore to come to the forefront. Despite dropping “of War” from its title,Gears 5is the first time the series has made the brutality of its combat feel not only bloody and cathartic, but also captivating and disturbingly intimate on a human level. The quintessential dudebro shooter has evolved with the times, and the world is so much better for it. "[34]
Can I Play That?,a games accessibility resource aimed at gamers and developers, praisedGears 5's accessibility features, awarding it a perfect score for deaf accessibility.[35][36]
Commercial performance
[edit]During its week of release,Gears 5retail sales in the UK were about 4.5 times less than its predecessor,[37]and placed in second place in the retail UK charts,[38]and fifth in Switzerland.[39]The game was the seventh best-selling game in the US during the month of September 2019.[40] The game was played by 3 million people in its first weekend, making it Microsoft's most successful first-party launch sinceHalo 4and the biggest launch forXbox Game Pass.[41]
