And soon!
Gears of War Reloaded is the second major repacking of the first game of the iconic franchise and will head to Xbox, PC, and PS5 in August of this year.
“Gears of War Reloaded includes the full breadth of content from the Gears of War Ultimate Edition,” Microsoft said, referencing the game’s first major repacking, “delivering the most complete version of the original game to date.
“Players will gain immediate access to all post-launch downloadable content at no additional cost — this includes the bonus Campaign act, all multiplayer maps and modes, and a full roster of classic characters and cosmetics unlockable through progression.”
Thankfully, Reloaded isn’t a fully-priced title — which is great news considering Microsoft just advised it would up the price of future titles — and will retail for $39.99 USD. Moreover, those who already own Gears of War Ultimate Edition before 2.00 am this morning on 6 May will get Reloaded for free over on Xbox platforms.
With Reloaded, players can expect 4K resolution with variable refresh rate, 60 frames-per-second (FPS) in campaign and 120FPS in multiplayer, HDR support, improved shadows and reflections, zero loading screens in campaign, and more.
“And wherever you play, we’re meeting you there with the best version possible,” Microsoft said. “Gears of War Reloaded includes platform-specific features that make the most of the hardware you already own to deliver a world-class Gears of War experience — faithful to the original, optimized for today, and made for everyone.”
Microsoft didn’t detail if it would offer better haptic feedback support on the PS5’s DualSense as compared to Forza Horizon 5.
Players can expect Gears of War Reloaded on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5; it’s also part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass. Cross-play and cross-progression are supported across all platforms.
