We knew a new iteration of the Gears of War franchise would be announced today but what was surprising was that the franchise has dropped the "Of War" part and will just be called Gears 5.
The name change isn't the only new thing as it looks like Kait will be the main protagonist of the game instead of a member of the Fenix family. The game will be out sometime in 2019 so we will have to wait a while before we get our hands on it.
