Gears 5 is continuing to add additional content to its intense multiplayer with the announcement of Gears 5 Operation 6. The next major Operation for Gears 5 is going to make some crucial changes to how Gears 5 handles new content, and will add new characters and maps for players to enjoy.
To begin, Operation 6 will start to shorten Gears 5 Operations from 16 weeks to 11 weeks, and will split content drops into two portions: the initial launch-content, and mid-Operation content. Each content drop will now contain at least two characters. When Operation 6 starts, Gears 5 players will have three new characters with Colonel Victor Hoffman, Queen Reyna, and Locust Zealot. There will also be a new map called Speyer.
The Coalition will drop more information on what's coming in Operation 6 in the coming weeks.

In our Gears 5: Hivebusters review, we said that "fast action is offset by surprisingly introspective character development, all in a jaw-droppingly gorgeous jungle setting."
