A new developer, new characters, and a new setting, Gears 4 is looking to take the franchise into the new generation with some fresh ideas, albeit with the same brutality that made the original a hit.<\/p>\n<p>The sequel follows\u00a0protagonist JD Fenix (son of Gears of War\u2018s Marcus Fenix) and his squad, along with the new enemy that plagues the world post-Gears 3.\u00a0In addition to the usual chainsawing, cover shooting action,\u00a0the new\u00a0entry\u00a0will also feature new weapons, some giant new enemies, some familiar faces, and some mech segments (yip, that\u2019s right).<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ji2aU4EdQww<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><strong>Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>11 October 2016
