Gears Intel – Details, episodes & analysis

We've crawled out of our own cogholes to kick off 2025 with a new episode, and as the buzz for Gears of War E-Day only grows with each day, we muse about how the multiplayer mode, whatever form it takes, can survive in the age of cancelled Concords, sunken Suicide Squads, and forever Fortnites.

We get into it and reminisce on multiplayer memories, how we approach things as ageing gamers, and discuss if Gears should go to playstation.

Enjoy, and spread the good word of Gears Intel. We thank you for your support!!
