Among the three new Gears titles announced during Microsoft’s E3 2018 press conference was Gears Pop. Here is everything we know up until now about this additional Gears of War video game.
Gears Pop will have Gears of War and the cute and famous Funko Pop figures combined in one game. It will be released to mobile phones and will be available in both Google Play Store and Apple Appstore. Fortunately, during E3 2018, we caught a glimpse of its whole cuteness from its official E3 announce trailer that you can watch here:
In the trailer, we can see that Gears Pop features some of the familiar characters from the Gears of War franchise. Marcus Fenix, Kait Diaz and some Pop versions of some Locust soldiers will be in the game turning the violent Gears of War action into a cute doll-like fight. Moreover, you can clearly hear their cute voices replacing their original ones. Especially Marcus has this childish cute little voice that makes him sound like he just popped out from one of our childhood’s TV cartoons.
Unfortunately, The Coalition did not reveal any footage regarding its gameplay. However, we do know that it is going to be a MOBA rush style game created specifically for mobiles. It will be interesting to see what will come along with it. Our guesses are that it will feature more characters of the Gears of War franchise and maybe it will have a variety of weapons also seen in the previous Gears video games. Nevertheless, we can still expect new stuff from a new mobile Gears game, especially since it involves the Funko Pop figurines.
We do not know yet the exact release date of Gears Pop. However, it is expected to be released around the time Gears 5 and Gears Tactics are. The latter are expected to be released sometime in 2019, therefore we can expect Gears Pop then as well.
