First trailer for Gears of War 4 gets released and it's pretty awesome

Gears of War 4 isn't going to be available for the general public until October 11, but until then we'll have various media releases to really build up the hype train and ensure she continues rolling through 2016. First up is this brand new trailer for the upcoming title and it's worth watching since the team has produced a darn good video.

It's clear to see how the next instalment in the series will return to a dark, mysterious and intense experience. Fear not if you simply cannot wait to jump in as the PvP multiplayer on Xbox One kicks off in a week's time. To get on the beta early, all you need to do is play Gears of War: Ultimate Edition on Xbox One or Windows 10 and you'll receive an access token for the beta. Everyone else on Gold will be invited on May 1.

As noted already, Gears of War 4 will be released on October 11.
