Gears of War 4” Trailer Offers Glimpse of a New Hero and a Nightmare Reborn

On Oct. 11, a new generation of heroes will rise and confront an ominous new threat in “Gears of War 4,” the first chapter of a brand-new saga developed by The Coalition.

We’re excited to debut our first story trailer, “Tomorrow,” which connects the legacy of the Fenix family from father to son and features a foreboding glimpse of the new menace that awaits.

At the conclusion of “Gears of War 3,” Marcus Fenix wondered what tomorrow would bring. What a world without war would look like. This is the story of two tomorrows – the one Marcus envisioned, and the one 25 years later, where all hope is shattered as a new nightmare is reborn.

“Tomorrow” features Disturbed’s haunting cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” and offers a hint of how “Gears of War 4” brings the franchise back to the dark, mysterious and intense tone of the original classic.
