The fan favorite Marcus Fenix is obviously expected to appear in Gears of War 4. The most interesting twist, though, is that he is sporting a full beard. Well, this is thanks to a new gameplay video recently released by publisher Microsoft and developer The Coalition. With it, players can have new look at what is coming.
According to VG24/7, the recently released Gears of War 4 footage showcases over eight minutes of gameplay. And take note: these are all new -- from the brand new set of weapons to enemies to races. But one that completely stands out is the return of the highly favored Marcus Fenix.
The said Gears of War 4 video features the leadership skills of Marcus. As his squad is being attacked by some sort of enemy, he displays his relentless skills, fighting their way out of it. Sure enough, this is a whole new level of intensity from the aforesaid character. And since he is in the spotlight, it is only right for Fenix's state to be featured.
Moreover, the Gears of War 4 new gameplay footage introduces a new kind of race. And take note: this is very unlikely from the previous ones such as the Locust. They are called Deebees, which are, in a general sense, robots. In one way or another, it kind of changes the experience players will feel from shooting.
The Coalition iterated in the past that they intend to bring lots of changes to Gears of War 4, as reported by GameSpot, such as the game's story being more personal and intimate. Simply put, the upcoming title is going to be more ambiguous in terms of its narrative compared to the past installments.
If the first title is more about being a suspense game, Gears of War 4 will evoke the sense of mystery. This is a complete shift, too, from Gears of War 3 -- a game which was too focused on the battle between the Locusts and humans.
Gears of War 4 is slated to hit the shelves come October 11, but as an Xbox Play Anywhere title. Hence, it can be purchased digitally on either Xbox One or PC.
