Is Gears Tactics coming to PS4? Cobbled together by Splash Damage and The Coalition, this strategy-flavoured take on the testosterone-fuelled shooter franchise hit PC earlier this week, with an Xbox One version still in the pipeline.
Still, despite its Xbox trappings, that hasn’t stopped folk from enquiring about a Gears Tactics PS4 release. Is it on the cards? Let’s find out!
Gears Tactics PS4
We’re surprised people haven’t twigged this, but no, Gears Tactics is not coming to PS4. Why? It’s an Xbox exclusive brand, just like the mainline games. Xbox Game Studios published the title, while The Coalition, who is now handling the Gears franchise after Epic Games cut ties with the brand, is an Xbox first-party developer.
This puts it in the same house as Halo, in the sense that they’re locked to Microsoft and won’t be coming to any other platform besides the PC. Again, it’s like expecting God of War or Uncharted to turn up on Xbox One.
What Is Gears Tactics?
Here’s the blurb:
Gears Tactics is the fast-paced, turn-based strategy game set 12 years before the first Gears of War. Cities on the planet Sera are beginning to fall to the monstrous threat rising from underground – the Locust Horde. With the government in disarray, a squad of survivors emerge as humanity’s last hope.
Play as Gabe Diaz, recruiting, developing and commanding your squads on a desperate mission to hunt down the relentless and powerful leader of the Locust army: Ukkon, the mastermind monster who makes monsters. Against all odds and fighting for survival, outsmart your enemy in uniquely brutal, turn-based tactical combat. Experience the intensity of one of the most-acclaimed video game sagas in an exciting new way.
