Hivebustin’ makes me feel good
Gears 5has gotten a steady cadence of multiplayer support ever since it launched in fall 2019. Next week, it gets something noGearsgame has gotten since 2011: Singleplayer story DLC.
We learned in Octoberthat The Coalition is planning a story expansion forGears 5. It’s calledHivebustersand it tells the backstory of Team Scorpio (later renamed Team Xbox One X), who makes up the trio inGears 5‘s Escape mode. This DLC chronicles their first mission as a squad.
The trailer’s worth a watch just to see old man Hoffman if nothing else. There’s a curious bit at the end where they willingly get gobbled up by some Pouncers. As for gameplay specifics, Xbox confirms the expansion will run about three hours and supports three-player co-op (split-screen and online).
