In the gallery above, find details on the most-anticipated games that are scheduled to be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC between now and the end of 2019, listed in alphabetical order.
Release date: September 10 for XB1 and PC (September 6 for Game Pass Ultimate subscribers)
Gears 5 is actually Gears of War 5, the fifth main entry in Microsoft's bloody third-person shooter series and first to feature a female protagonist. Developed, like its 2016 predecessor, by The Coalition, the new game finds you playing as returning character Kait Diaz, who begins investigating the origins of the Locusts (and her family). Once again, you can play solo or with another player via local or online co-op, including in an aggressive new "Escape Mode" featuring a three-player "suicide squad." The Ultimate Edition of the game adds a pair of characters from Halo: Reach, because why not.
A mobile Gears of War real-time strategy spinoff (a collaboration with Funko Pop) called Gears Pop! is also now available for iOS and Windows.
