Gears Tactics is set 12 years prior to the original Gears of War, which put it in the perfect timeframe to star Gabe. And while the Delta squad are an amazing set of characters, there wasn't one that we thought fit the bill for what we were trying to do."īielman explained they wanted to craft a character that made sense specifically for a turn-based tactics game. "We could have set it with Marcus and the Delta team, but we felt like we wanted our hero to be unique and have a different take on the world. "We could have done this with Kait and her timeline, but we didn't feel like that was right, given there was so much to tell of her story in Gears 5. ![]() We’ll still fill the boots of a Diaz, but this time it’s Kait’s father, Gabe. We're getting another new protagonist with Gears Tactics, the upcoming turn-based strategy game developed by Splash Damage and The Coalition. That's when they made Kait Diaz the lead in Gears 5 as the story focused more on her family and the origin of the Locust. After Gears 4, Mah said that the story shifted in such a way where it didn't make sense to play its sequel from J.D.'s perspective. Fenix didn't get long in the spotlight, though. "If we didn't have any of the Gears trappings around them, would they be people that you would want to spend time with, and be interested in their point of view? But then we worked to connect them to our world." ![]() "I think our guiding principle was, we wanted these characters to be interesting and believable in their own way." Mah said. Mah said she loved that Marcus, Cole, and Baird - among others - were still involved in the story, but hoped to see new characters stand on their own regardless of the connection they have to the series. Then came the task of creating a trio suitable to carry on the legacy of Marcus and Delta squad. We can think about jumping ahead in time, we're not beholden to just telling a very linear. So, that already set a really good precedent for Gears of War "thinks" like that. "We could have picked up as a direct sequel from Gears of War 3," Mah said, "but Rod made the decision to jump us ahead by 25 years, which is a really interesting decision because then that forced a whole bunch of rethinking about our universe who the enemies are, where the characters are, what the heck is going on. Then, The Coalition brought back the franchise and set it 25 years later with Marcus' son J.D. The Gears of War saga began with Marcus Fenix, a soldier we saw go from prisoner to military hero as he led a team to destroy the Locust and Lambent at the end of Epic Games' original trilogy.
