New Gears Of War Game Announced, And It's Funko

Microsoft unveiled a trio of new Gears of War titles during its E3 2018 press conference, including the next proper installment in the series--Gears 5--and a strategy spin-off titled Gears Tactics. In addition to those, the company announced a Gears game for mobile devices, but it's radically different from anything else in the series.

Dubbed Gears Pop, the game is described as a "mobile Gears experience with an official Funko Pop twist." Few details about the title were revealed, but it's slated to launch on iOS and Android in 2019 and features Gears of War characters who resemble Funko Pop figures. You can take a look at an image of them below.

While Gears Pop may not be the direction fans were hoping to see the franchise take, the next mainline entry, Gears 5, is also slated to launch in 2019 and features the series' trademark brutal action. Gears Tactics, meanwhile, is described as a "true PC strategy game where brutal action meets turn-based tactics."
