Gears Tactics also features a permadeath mechanic in the Iron Man mode, which applies to these procedurally generated characters.
Each character can take multiple actions per turn, including taking cover, shooting at enemies, remaining in overwatch to shoot at any enemies that make movements in their line of sight, moving in and performing executions on enemies with low health, or reviving squadmates with low health.īesides the named characters, players can also recruit and train various procedurally generated units. While previous Gears of War titles are third person cover-based shooters, Gears Tactics is a turn-based tactical strategy game played from a top-down perspsective, similar to the XCOM series. Gears Tactics is unlike any other previous game in the series. With fellow COG soldiers Sid Redburn and Mikayla Dorn, Gabe is tasked with forming and leading a new squad, whose primary task is to track down and assassinate Locust scientist Ukkon before his genetically engineered soldiers can wipe out the remnants of humanity on the planet of Sera. Gabriel Diaz – father of Gears 5 protagonist Kait Diaz – is the game’s protagonist. Gears Tactics serves as a prequel to the first Gears of War, taking place twelve years prior to its events, following the Hammer of Dawn strikes by the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) to curb the advancement of the Locusts hordes. Gears Tactics went gold in April 2020, wrapping up development after four and a half years of production. The setting and time frame within the series’ chronology was chosen because they felt it was suited to their central concept of starting with nothing and then gradually building up a powerful squad and army to take on enemy forces. They also chose to introduce a brand new protagonist instead of going with previously established characters because they thought it suited their story better. They also wanted to place a larger emphasis on story and storytelling, and as such spent a lot of time coming up with the game’s storyline and characters, and bringing them to life with cutscenes, voice acting, and performance capture.

Gears Tactics’ developers wanted to ensure that the game was more fast-paced than other games in the genre to suit the style of the series better, and implemented various gameplay mechanics to that end, including giving each character three actions per turn instead of the usual two.
Gears Tactics’ developers also consulted with 343 Industries, who had been involved with the Halo strategy spinoff titles, Halo Wars and its sequel. As such, they decided to develop Gears Tactics, though the developers have said the game has nothing to do with the previously cancelled Epic Games project, Gears of War: Tactics. The developers of Gears Tactics wanted to expand the series’ scope and introduce it to new audiences, and also thought that the series’ typical cover-based combat lent itself to tactical turn-based strategy gameplay very well. The developers also confirmed that unlike previous games in the series, Gears Tactics would be a single player-only experience, and would have no microtransactions. An Xbox One version was also confirmed to be in development, to be released at a later date.

In December of that year, at The Game Awards 2019, it was announced that the game would release for PC on April 28, 2020. There were little to no updates on the game for the following two years, until Rod Fergusson, founder of The Coalition, confirmed in June 2019 that the game was still in development. Gears Tactics was first officially unveiled by Microsoft at their E3 2017 press event.
The two have previously collaborated on multiple projects, including Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and the multiplayer components of Gears of War 4 and Gears 5. Gears Tactics is developed jointly by Splash Damage and The Coalition. It is a spinoff of the Gears of War series, and a prequel to the first game. Gears Tactics is a turn-based tactical strategy title developed by Splash Damage and The Coalition and published by Microsoft.
