What is Gears Tactics?
Gears Tactics is a turn-based tactical strategy game set 12 years before the events of the original Gears of War. The game is developed by Splash Damage in partnership with The Coalition and brings the series into turn-based tactical combat.
Gears Tactics is in development now. More details (including release timing) will be shared at a later date.
Press Coverage
Gears Tactics has provided a great opportunity for me to expand my design experience to encompass the much-loved turn-based tactics genre. I can’t wait for people to see more!
Until then, here’s some coverage from the announcement.
