‘Gears of War 4’ Multiplayer Beta Hitting April 18

Gears of War 4.

Like all premiere games with a multiplayer component, Gears of War 4 is getting itself an MP beta. Said beta shall be dropping April 18. Will I be playing said MP player? Nah. But those of you barking at the door for it to open, if you will, shitty figurative language, if you will, prepare yourselves.

IGN:

Gearheads who’ve played Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox One or Windows 10 prior to April 11 will start to receive download tokens in waves, according to a post on the Gears forum.

Early access for the beta ends on April 24, at which point select Xbox Live Gold members will be invited to participate up until the end of the beta on May 1.
Gears of War 4 takes place some 25 years after the closing events of Gears 3, and, apparently, follows the exploits of Marcus Fenix’s son JD, Kait Diaz, and Delmont Walker as they attempt to survive a night in the woods.
