Gears 5 New Character Skins Have Been Leaked

In this day and age, it has already been common for leaks to quickly spread through the web, and developers can do nothing to stop the release of valuable information. The same is the case with Gears 5, which witness tons of upcoming multiplayer skins leaked on Reddit and social media. Instead of commenting about the leak or trying to stop it, the developers just addressed the situation in a funny way.

There are more than Gears 5 multiplayer skins roaming around social media as of writing, and it has been hard to locate exactly where they began. While the Gears Mexico account notably did its part to spread the details, it doesn’t seem to be the main source.

The leaked skins consist of Heroic, Recon, Hollow Storm, Chrome Steel, Hivebuster, and Omega Squad, just to name some. The official Twitter account of Gears of War joined in the leak in a bizarre way – by posting a meme. While the meme doesn’t precisely confirm that the skins are authentic, it doesn’t also deny it, which has led to some fans speculating that the Gears 5 skins are legit.

The Coalition, Gears 5’s developers, likely have their hands full with more important factors like working on new content such as the Hivebusters expansion that launched earlier this December. The newest expansion got its name from the famous comic book of a similar title and has fans take on the role of Mac, Keegan, and Lahni from Gears 5 Escape Mode.

As the Scorpio Squad, take on a campaign lasting 3 hours long and features a three-player coop. In addition, Hivebusters launched with a free update called Title Update 12, which brought along several improvements and bug fixes to the game.

As expansions and new content for Gears 5 continues to roll out, fans can’t help but think how the latest Gears of War trilogy will come to conclusion. The games’ tones have changed significantly from the original trilogy, and The COG has improved a lot since then, becoming almost a second antagonist over the course of the games.

This throws the question of how The Cog will influence the story of Gears 6. This mainly depends on First Minister Jinn and his motives. There are plenty of rumors, but fans will just have to wait and see how The Coalition gets involved with the story and in the role of Jinn.
