How does gears of war end

This family tie means that Kait and her mother Reyna also have this attachment which can be exploited by the Swarm. In Gears 5 , Reyna was revealed to be the new avatar for the Swarm queen, but there's nothing left of her original mind. This new queen kills one of Kait's closest allies, before once again descending into the depths. It's the reveal of a new, dangerous threat, and one that Kait promises to destroy, blood bond or not. This call for vengeance definitely means that there will be another face-to-face meeting between the two.

Gears of War is intrinsically tied to families - mainly those of Kait and the Fenix family - and so there's undoubtedly going to be a showdown with more than just the fate of Sera on the line. Even though the Coalition of Ordered Governments has been a focus of stability and structure within the human forces of Gears of War , that's not to say that the game series hasn't cast a critical eye over the COG at times.

Gears 5 took this to the next level, investigating both why communities have refused to join the COG overall and also the secrets that the government has tried to hide. The biggest of these that was uncovered was the COG's role in the creation of the Locust threat in the first place. Scientist Niles Samson was spearheading research into Rustlung in the New Hope research facility, as visited previously in Gears of War , but Kait discovered that this research twisted into experimentation on children, resulting in the creation of the first members of the Locust horde.

By the end of Gears 5 , this revelation was kept away from public eyes, with the facility itself apparently destroyed in its entirety. However, a point could be made about this information being revealed to a much wider audience during Gears 6. With such an emphasis on the Outsiders in the most recent run of games, does this point towards such untold tales finally coming to light?

That's just a sample of what players might expect from Gears of War 6. However, given all the surprises that Gears 5 had over the course of its campaign, fans of the series should perhaps expect the unexpected whenever Gears 6 is set to launch.

Hopefully it will prove a fitting follow-up to such a fantastic game. Rob Gordon is a writer and musician from Brighton, United Kingdom. The COG ordered all civilians to head to Jacinto. However, they intentionally made the announcement only three days before the planned strikes. Essentially, the COG were sacrificing a large portion of the population to deny the Locust the upper hand.

The Hammer of Dawn strikes targeted cities across Sera, destroying them and throwing up a cloud of ash and debris that obscured the sun. Raging firestorms caused massive environmental damage.

However, some managed to survive the strikes and lived in the ruins of Sera. They became known as the Stranded and they despised the COG for their actions. However, during a Locust offensive, Adam thought that the Locust would overrun his position. He called his son for what he believed would be the last time. Marcus, in an effort to save his father, assaulted his commanding officer, Colonel Hoffman, and left against orders to try and save him.

In doing so, he took a vital piece of targeting equipment with him. He believed his father was dead, although Adam had successfully relocated to Azura. Dominic Santiago spent years trying to find a legal way to free Marcus. Eventually, Dom gave that up and began planning a prison break. This kicks off the events of the first Gears of War game. The COG came up with a plan to destroy the Locust in their tunnels.

Using a device known as the Resonator , they would map the Locust tunnels beneath the surface and then use a Lightmass Bomb to detonate the Imulsion reserves underground. They led the search for Alpha Squad, who had the task of deploying the Resonator. While joining up with Alpha, the Locust cut off their extraction route. Marcus was promoted back to the rank of Sergeant and given command of the reformed Delta Squad.

The resulting explosion killed a great many Locust, and also wiped out the flying, flesh-eating species known as the Kryll. The Lightmass Bomb did not have the desired effect of killing all the Locust.

As a result, the COG authorized a full-scale invasion of their home, the Hollow. Hundreds of Gears descended into the Hollow to take the fight to the Locust. During the invasion, Delta Squad found that the Locust were using giant worms to sink cities on the surface.

There they encountered the Sires and then infiltrated Mount Kadar to find the Locust capital. During the mission, Dom found his wife, Maria , who had been missing for years in a Locust prison.

The locust had tortured and abused her, and Maria was basically a walking shell of a person. With little choice — he could not care for her, or risk the mission — Dom killed her out of mercy. Delta Squad later encountered Queen Myrrah and learned that she planned to sink Jacinto to flood the Hollow and kill the Lambent-infected Locust.

Flooding the Hollow seemed like a sound idea to kill the Locust, so the COG resolved to do it themselves by detonating a Lightmass Missile in an Imulsion field beneath the city. However, they needed to evacuate Jacinto first. Delta Squad prevailed by hijacking a Brumak and using it to create a breach in the Hollows to allow the missile to be deployed.

The Locust downed the King Raven helicopter carrying the missile. However, the Brumak — exposed to a large amount of Imulsion — began to mutate into a Lambent state, one that just so happened to have the side effect of making it extremely explosive. Now without a home, the COG ended up on the island of Vectes. The island had a native population of COG citizens who had been cut off from the mainland since the Hammer strikes. These people had never seen a Locust. Establishing a presence on the island, the COG attempted to rebuild while also dealing with Stranded pirates and isolated Locust.

The COG also made contact with the remnants of the Republic of Gorasnaya and formally ended years of war between them. On Vectes, it soon became clear that Lambent activity had increased, probably due to the detonation of the Jacinto Imulsion field. Lambent Leviathans and stalks began to assault Vectes. However, since he kept Azura and his knowledge of the Lambent secret, he appeared to be abandoning the COG in its time of need.

The Coalition of Ordered Governments or COG has replaced its armed forces with cold, unthinking machines "bucketheads". And the failures of the Locust War's aging heroes are about to come to light. When we first meet Kait Diaz Laura Bailey — not just an important character in Gears of War 4 but also the playable protagonist of Gears 5 — she's studying a butterfly chrysalis. Now consisting of a multitude of new forms, many of them truly alien, the Locust have become a hive with a shared consciousness.

They abduct human beings, such as the villagers Kait grew up with, and place them inside organic "pods" to be mutated and made a part of the hive, a. When the Swarm first strikes, both Oscar and Reyna are abducted. So how did the Locust survive the war? After their defeat, many of them were sealed away in a number of subterranean burial sites. They were cocooned. There's of course a lot of shooting and mayhem and bringing power generators back online over the course of the game's plot.

But the biggest conflict in Gears of War 4 involves JD's father and Kait's mother, and the disparate fates that await them. After a superb sequence in which our new generation of younger soldiers is reunited with the estranged Marcus — and a stop at the gravesite of JD's mother, Anya — the elder Fenix agrees to come along on the quest to save Reyna and put an end to the Swarm.
