After the fifth installment, Splash Damage adapts the saga to the genre of turn-based strategy, in a title with a strong narrative load.
Gears 5 was the great launch of Xbox One during 2019, but not the only video game in the franchise that was in development. Xbox Game Studios, Splash Damage and The Coalition are working on Gears Tactics, a video game that will be released next month on PC (coming soon to Xbox One). As its title indicates, the saga abandons unbridled action to embrace a more tactical style, the turn-based strategy genre. With a view to launch, Microsoft has distributed the final trailer, which you can see on these lines.
Accompanying the official video, those of Redmond have also shared the minimum and recommended requirements that we must meet in order to enjoy Gears Tactics without problem. The information has appeared on the official title page on Steam:

The story centers on the figure of Gabe Diaz, Kait's father, one of the central characters in the most recent installments. It is set 12 years before the events narrated in the first Gears of War, which must lead its hosts as a good strategist. In front? The horde of Locust and other evil creatures that will not hesitate to crush humans without mercy.
Gears Tactics will be released initially on PC, next April 28 (which includes Xbox Game Pass in its compatible version). The Xbox One version will take longer, though they haven't yet announced exactly when it will launch.
