‘Gears of War 4’ Launch Trailer: Lock and Load and Chainsaw Guns and Mechs

Microsoft and its Cabal have released theĀ Gears of War 4 launch trailer ahead of the game’s upcoming release. The motherfucker is everything you’d expect from a trailer for the franchise. You know, big guns. Big people. Big monsters. Big action. I’m ready.

Polygon:

The Gears of War 4 launch trailer arrived as promised this morning, about three weeks ahead of the game’s Oct. 11 launch. See it above.

Though called the “gameplay launch trailer” it is solely cinematic sequences, establishing the story and the new cast of J.D. Fenix, Kait and Del, who join J.D. ‘s dad, Marcus to battle a new threat.

Gears of War 4, launching for both Windows PC and Xbox One, is part of Microsoft’s new Xbox Play Anywhere program, meaning a digital purchase on one platform makes the game free on the other. Those who purchase its $100 special edition may play beginning Oct. 7.
