Nothing Else Matters until you check out the Gears of War 4 launch trailer

Gears of War 4 is less than a month away, so it’s time to kick that brutal hype train into high gear (har har).

With the game hitting Xbox One and Windows 10 beginning on October 7th and the first high profile trailer dropping during Monday Night Football tonight, fans should definitely take a look.

Check out the launch trailer below along with the announcement.

Gears of War 4 launch trailer:

The countdown to October 11^th has officially begun as Gears of War 4?s Launch Trailer releases today. Featuring never-before-seen action?and a few surprises.

25 years ago, Marcus Fenix and Delta Squad made Sera safe for tomorrow?s generation. His son JD has lived with that peace, until now. A new threat called the Swarm has emerged and now JD, along with his friends Del and Kait, must fight together and survive the night.

Narrated by John DiMaggio, the voice of Marcus Fenix, the new trailer features high-intensity action orchestrated by a cover of Metallica?s ?Nothing Else Matters,? as performed by Lissie. You can also catch the trailer?s television debut later tonight during Monday Night Football on ESPN (5:30PM PT/8:30PM ET).

With the October 11 launch date just a few short weeks away (or on October 7 with early access for Gears of War 4: Ultimate Edition owners) Gears of War 4 encourages players to ?Never Fight Alone? by teaming up with a friend through cross-platform co-op gameplay on Xbox One and Windows 10 platforms. As Gears of War 4 is an Xbox Play Anywhere title, you?ll be able to play across both Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, as all game progress, Gamerscore, and Achievements are saved on and accessible through Xbox Live.
