A new saga begins in the most acclaimed third-person shooter franchise in gaming history. Twenty-five years after the Locust War ended, a new threat emerges to challenge everything the Coalition of Ordered Governments fought to protect.
The Next Generation Takes Command
Step into the boots of JD Fenix, son of legendary war hero Marcus Fenix, as he leads his squad through humanity's darkest hour. Alongside his trusted companions Kait Diaz and Delmont Walker, JD must navigate political tensions within the COG while facing an enemy unlike anything Sera has ever seen. The Swarm represents evolution itself—a horrifying biological force that adapts, learns, and grows stronger with each encounter.
Revolutionary Combat Systems
Experience the brutal satisfaction of cover-based combat refined through four generations of innovation. The signature Gnasher shotgun delivers devastating close-range encounters, while the Lancer assault rifle's chainsaw bayonet remains the ultimate symbol of Gears warfare.
- Enhanced Cover Mechanics
- Seamlessly vault over barriers, slide into position, and execute brutal close-quarter takedowns with improved fluidity and responsiveness that makes every firefight feel cinematic and intense.
- Dynamic Weather Systems
- Windflares reshape battlefields in real-time, forcing tactical adaptations as debris becomes weaponized and visibility shifts dramatically, creating unpredictable combat scenarios that test veteran and newcomer alike.
- Expanded Arsenal
- Master devastating new weapons including the Buzzkill's ricocheting saw blades, the explosive Dropshot mortar system, and returning favorites enhanced with modern ballistics and satisfying feedback.
Cooperative Campaign Excellence
The entire campaign supports two-player cooperative play through split-screen or Xbox Live connectivity. Player two can choose between Kait or Del, each bringing unique dialogue and perspectives to crucial story moments. Difficulty scales dynamically to maintain challenge regardless of player count.
Horde 3.0: The Ultimate Survival Challenge
Five players unite against fifty waves of increasingly deadly enemies in the most sophisticated horde mode ever created. Choose from distinct combat classes—Scout, Soldier, Engineer, Sniper, or Heavy—each with unique abilities and upgrade paths.
- Deploy fortifications anywhere on the battlefield, creating custom defensive strategies that adapt to your team's playstyle and the evolving enemy threat patterns.
- Earn power through combat performance to upgrade abilities, purchase weapons, and strengthen fortifications between waves, building towards spectacular final confrontations.
- Master class synergies where Engineers build impenetrable defenses, Scouts gather resources under fire, and Heavy units unleash devastating area attacks against massive boss creatures.
Competitive Multiplayer Warfare
Dedicated servers ensure consistent 60fps performance across all multiplayer modes, from intense Execution matches to large-scale Warzone battles. The new visible ranking system creates balanced matchmaking for casual social games and high-stakes competitive tournaments.
Whether you're discovering Sera for the first time or returning as a veteran Gear, this is your invitation to join the fight that will determine humanity's survival. Lock and load, soldier—Sera needs you now more than ever.
