That\u2019s just the beginning \u2013 after today\u2019s launch, we\u2019ll continue to use Operations to evolve your Gears 5<\/em> Multiplayer Experience with free new modes, maps, characters, customization items and more. With all of this free content, plus a regular cadence of exclusive cosmetic items in the Gears 5<\/em> Store, we think this will be the most dynamic and exciting post-launch Gears has ever had. Speaking of bonus multiplayer items, remember to download and play by September 16 to unlock the Terminator Dark Fate Character Pack<\/a>.<\/p>\n
