Latest Gears of War 4 trailer gives us a look at the dark future

The war against the Locust was over and the COGs could settle down, build a life, and be happy. Unfortunately, the peace only lasted 25 years. Humanity has to once again pick up arms to defend their homes, but this time it's against a new enemy.

The 25 years of peace wasn't all that peaceful, a series of strange disappearances happened and no one knew why. Marcus Fenix and the gang are all old men these days, so it is up to a new generation of warriors to defend humanity.

JD Fenix, following in his father's footsteps, is one of them. The difference is this time it isn't the Locust that is the enemy, there is a new terrifying foe and we will find that out in the story of Gears of War 4.

This latest Gears of War 4 trailer follows the iconic trend its predecessors set up with masterfully combining sad music with intense action, so check the video out above!

Gears of War 4 is expected to make its official launch worldwide on October 11, if you can't wait that long then keep tabs on the upcoming Gears of War 4 beta, which starts April 18 and runs to May 1.
