Needless to say, it was a surprising moment for the fans, but it was also among the ones that left all the jaws dropping. And his insights on the trailer were something that fans might have missed. The Locust we saw Marcus fighting with must be his first kill in the story.

The next Gears of War game is yet to receive an announcement date.

The story will be centered around Marcus Fenix and his best friend Dom Santiago, as can be seen in the game’s trailer. The Emergence Day is pivotal to the narrative, as everything fans have seen in theGears of Warseries eventually goes back to this event.
