So what is Gears Tactics all about? Gears Tactics is a prequel spin-off set 12 years before the events of the first Gears of War. Gears fan already knew that a real-time strategy Gears game was in the works, but it wasn't revealed during Microsoft's E3 press conference this year.

Players must strategically place their characters across the map and move from cover to cover while exchanging fire with the enemy. The game continues until one side wins. The game is said to include a 40+ hour campaign and no multiplayer.
Gears Tactics is going to be available on Microsoft Store, Steam, and Xbox Game Pass on April 28.
