Campaign design director Matt Searcy on Gears 5 spoke with GamingBolt in a recent interview. He said the developer for the game and the franchise, The Coalition, will continue to build off Gears 5 with more open world sections, more open ended combat, stealth sections, and more.

"Gears 5 took some leaps forward in how we think about a Gears game, and as you mentioned, fans responded positively," said Searcy.

"Gears 5 was all about laying the foundation for the franchise to steer it into the future, so it’s safe to say we’ll continue to build off this foundation in the future so we can continue to surprise and delight fans as we look forward to whatever might be on the horizon."

"A huge goal and pillar of Gears 5 was player choice, and it’s definitely something we’ll be looking to build on going forward," he added.

Gears 5 is available now on the Xbox One and Windows PC.

"A huge goal and pillar of Gears 5 was player choice" and then you decide to lock Horde characters to specific classes, don't allow duplicate characters etc.

And fans most certainly did not respond positively. Anyway, this is terrible news.
