Сможет ли Gears of War вернуть фанатов с E-Day? | BBC News

Репортаж BBC News о Gears of War: E-Day, приквеле, вышедшем как эксклюзив Xbox, и о том, сможет ли игра вернуть игроков к бренду. Студия The Coalition рассказывает о своей эксклюзивной стратегии.

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.
