Gears of War peut-il reconquérir ses fans avec E-Day ? | BBC News

Un reportage de BBC News sur Gears of War: E-Day, une préquelle sortie en exclusivité sur Xbox, et sur sa capacité à faire revenir les joueurs vers la marque. Le studio The Coalition évoque cette stratégie.

Gears of War, one of the video games that helped Microsoft's Xbox to win over millions of fans, is back. Prequel E-Day takes players back to where it all started, telling the origin story of humanity's conflict with The Locust - the series' horrifying enemy species. The game's been well-received by critics and players, but it's also seen as a big test of Xbox's new direction. Unlike recent flagship titles from the company's studios, which have been released on PlayStation 5 and, in some cases, Nintendo Switch, E-Day is being pushed as an Xbox exclusive. The apparent goal is to draw players back to the brand, but critics have questioned whether that's realistic at a time when console prices are higher than ever. BBC Newsbeat's Tom Richardson spoke to developer The Coalition - the makers of E-Day - about what staying exclusive means to them.
