At E3 2019, we had the opportunity to go hands-on with Gears 5's new Escape co-op mode, bringing a hint of Left 4 Dead to the big-budget third-person shooter. Early impressions are very good indeed.

E3 2019 gave us the opportunity to go hands-on with Gears 5's new co-op mode, dubbed Escape.
In Escape, The Coalition has created a bite-size gauntlet-style experience, where teams of three players battle through randomly-generated Swarm hive maps, after detonating a gas bomb deep within. Escape also features various character archetypes, each with an Overwatch-style "ultimate" ability that charges as you play alongside other unique supportive measures atop a complex-looking progression layer.
The Coalition fielded a few of our burning questions as we played through, in what seems to be an extremely promising addition to the full Gears package.
