E3 2018: 10 Best Things At Microsoft's Conference
3. Gears 5
Gears of War is returning, and looks set to deliver a story on par with the original trilogy.
The focus on the story was made pretty clear when the first look at Gears 5 was a cutscene that aimed to explain some of what is going on. This is a fair departure from the rest of the games, which when debuted at E3 mostly focused on the huge action setpieces.
This hopefully indicates to us that Gears 5 will be trying a much more mature direction. Another indication of this is that we also get to see that Gears 5 won't focus on the Fenix family this time, instead letting us play as Kait Diaz.
Having a female protagonist is a pretty big thing for the Gears of War franchise, and actually does make it one of the more interesting reveals of E3 2018.
Microsoft really made an effort to show off their upcoming first party titles at this E3, and it definitely made an impact.
