Also, story DLC is coming
Continuing Gears Of War’s weird dalliance with celebrity,Gears 5is adding Dave Bautista as a replacement actor for John DiMaggio’s Marcus Fenix. They’ve made Dave’s face and had him re-record all of Fenix’s lines so your man Drax The Destroyer fully replaces the old man of Gears, because reasons. Mystifying. It’ll be optional, mind. Some more-substantial newness is coming in the form of the firstGears 5story DLC, named Hivebusters.
“Dave Batista is a hugeGears of Warand Marcus Fenix fan, so we jumped at the chance to get him in the game,” the devsexplained yesterday. “We worked with him re-recorded all of Marcus' lines while the art team meticulously recreated his likeness. The end result is Dave Batista is present throughout the campaign in both gameplay and cinematic moments.”
He’s arriving as part of “a major campaign update” due on November 10th (alongside the new Xbox). That will also add the ultra-tough Inconceivable Mode and the Ironman Mode which doesn’t let you die at all. New mutators are in as well, letting players fiddle with game-changing settings including making enemies deal freezing damage, changing when health regen kicks in, and daft things like headhots exploding into confetti and ye old gaming classic, Big Head Mode. The update will also let folks use multiplayer character and weapon skins during the campaign.
Gears has courted celebrities before, including casting series fan Ice-T as a character in Gears 3 and giving musical duo Run The Jewels skins in Gears 4.
