Batista Coming to Gears 5

The Coalition and WWE announced WWE Superstar Batista will officially enter the Gears of War Universe as a “Gears 5” multiplayer character starting September 15. For thoughts on the partnership from Rod Fergusson, Studio Head at The Coalition, and more information, please head to Xbox Wire.

To unlock Batista, simply play any version of Gears 5 (including with your Xbox Game Pass membership) beginning September 15. In addition, Xbox has partnered together with WWE to create a special countdown to Batista’s availability in the game, including behind-the-scenes with Gears 5 and Batista on WWE’s UpUpDownDown gaming channel. This all leads up to WWE Network’s “Clash of Champions” event on Sunday, September 15, available through a 30-day free subscription on the Xbox app (new subscribers only).
