The Gears 5 trailer along with its announcement by Epic Games at E3 2018 confirmed some major changes in the storyline we already knew. Among those changes, we will witness the crew’s separation while Kait is determined to learn more about her family and her roots. However, what is going to happen now that they are going to be apart?
One of the theories going around because of the fact that the trailer revealed so many different environments to us, was the possibility of seeing two different story lines in one game. Kait on the one hand is willing to go deep in Gears of War world in order to find out more about the visions she sees because of her grandmother’s necklace. On the other hand, JD and Fenix are left behind to head back to North Sera as they were ordered to.
Despite the fact that the trailer focuses on Kait’s journey, we still might be able see what both teams are doing in Gears 5. Kait will certainly have a long journey ahead of her but Fenix’s and JD’s story is not over yet and judging by their back-story, it is highly likely that we get to witness what happens to them after that.
Furthermore, the anticipation of a good ending for Marcus is definitely high and it would be great if we could learn what happens with him in Gears 5 instead of waiting longer for him to be killed off. On the other hand, the survival of Oscar Diaz and his connection to Kait is a small sign that he might be returning for Gears 5 or even better, he might be one of the people revealing to Kait the truth behind her family.
After getting used to one story line do not be surprised if you get to see both Kait’s and the rest of the crew’s story unravel while playing Gears 5. Until it is released in 2019, all these are simply speculations and theories based on the material we already have. However, anything is possible so let’s just hope for a great gaming experience and even better story line added to Gears of War franchise.
