Get A Quick Rundown Of Gears 5's New Arcade Mode In This Video
Gears 5 recently unveiled its online multiplayer suite, which includes esports-based mode Escalation, King of the Hill, Team Deathmatch, and the rest of the mainstay modes. The new addition Gears 5 brings to the series, however, is Arcade. The mode, which combines the pre-existing Gears of War multiplayer mechanics with conventions from the popular hero-shooter genre, is meant to appeal to players of all skill levels.
In a new video developer The Coalition has shared with us, you can get a rundown of what the new mode is all about. While you can still read all about the mode and my experience with it through our extensive online preview, this tells you the quick hits of what you need to know in video form. You can see the rundown of the mode in the header of this article.
Gears 5 is set to hit Xbox One and PC on September 10. For more, be sure to check out our massive online preview of the game's competitive multiplayer, as well as our preview of the all-new co-op PvE Escape mode.
