Gears Of War 4 Releases On Xbox One October 11th

Microsoft's big IP of 2016 is inarguably Gears of War 4, and now gamers can set their calendars to October 11th, the day that Gears returns to Xbox.

It's been a long road for Gears of War 4, which initially started at previous home Epic Games. After residing in limbo for awhile after Epic was purchased, it would take Microsoft purchasing the IP, and then bringing Rod Ferguson on to shepherd the franchise at its new home, The Coalition, to ultimately get it back on track.

You can read more about the game here, and if you've played Gears of War: Ultimate Edition, you can play the game a little earlier starting on April 18th in the beta. Otherwise, the beta will open to all Xbox Live Gold Members starting on April 25th.
