"Gears 5" Just Introduced A New Set Of Characters

This morning, Microsoft and The Coalition introduced a new set of characters to Gears 5, giving the game two new heroes and two new villains. This update adds in the COG Gear, the DeeBee, the Warden and General RAAM, the ruthless Locust military leader. This update also throws in two other fun additional characters from Terminator Dark Fate into Gears 5 multiplayer! You will be getting Grace, featuring the voice of actress Mackenzie Davis, and the new Terminator model Rev-9. Both added in preparation for the film's release in November. We have details of the characters for you below before you go get them in Gears 5.
