Welcome to On The Radar: The home for in-depth conversations around the world's biggest games. This month we are diving deep into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gears 5, one of the most anticipated and mysterious games of 2019. 

For the latest instalment of On The Radar, GamesRadar travelled to The Coalition's offices in Vancouver to play Gears 5, the biggest and most ambitious game in the Gears ofꦡ War series to date. The Gears 5 campaign follows Kait Diaz as she attempts to uncover the secrets of her past, a mission fraught with danger as Sera once again sits on the precipice of war. We spent five hours with the Gears 5 campaign to get a better idea of what The Coalition is trying to achieve here, getting a first look at its big open spaces, side quests, and changes to play that will ultimately ensure that this entry into the long-running series is the most courageous yet. We also had the opportunity to get hands-on w๊ith Gears 5's take on Horde mode and the chance to sit down with The Coalition's creative leads to discuss the making of Gears 5.

On The Radar: Gears 5

Gears 5 is a big statement of intent for The Coalition. It's the biggest, boldest, and most ambitious Gears of War game ever made, packed with new ideas and fresh ways to play. It isn't about changing the core focus of Gears of War, but evolving it for a new generation of players. It's a game bܫuilt around improving approachability and accessibility across all of its disciplines, with Gears 5 feeling fresh and energised as a result.

On the road to review, our full week of Gears 5 coverage begins today with a deep dive into the campaign, which covers our experience playing Act 2 and Act 3 of the single-player. There's more to come, of co♛urse, so be sure to keep this page bookmarked and return all throughout the week for explorations of the Gears 5 campaign, its multiplayer modes, the series' legacy, and interviews with the devel♊opers from The Coalition that made it all possible.
