Gears of War 4 Beta: 5 Things to Know Right Now

Gears of War 4 Beta: 5 Things to Know Right Now is a post by Adam Mills from Gotta Be Mobile.

The Gears of War 4 release date for Xbox One is scheduled for late 2016 but Xbox One owners will get to play the game much sooner than that thanks to a Gears of War 4 beta. With that in mind, we want to take a look at the five most important things to know right now about the Gears of War 4 beta.

In June, Microsoft and The Coalition took the stage at E3 and announced two new Gears of War Xbox One releases. The first is the Gears of War Ultimate Edition, a remastered version of the first Gears of War campaign and a game that will be out on shelves in late August ahead of the holidays.

The other game is Gears of War 4, a brand new installment in the Gears of War series, and a game that remains fairly mysterious in the weeks after its initial announcement.

At E3 2015, The Coalition (former Black Tusk Studios) released a teaser trailer for Gears of War that showed off the game’s graphics, gameplay, and more. It’s an exciting new title but it’s one that won’t be on shelves until late 2016 as the companies continue to develop it.

The Gears of War 4 release date is unknown but we do know that the developer is shooting for a release sometime during the holiday season in 2016. That probably means the October-November window but nothing is confirmed yet and we probably won’t get any concrete dates until next year.

That doesn’t mean that we haven’t seen new Gears of War 4 release details emerge. In fact, The Coalition has confirmed a Gears of War 4 beta that will open up to Xbox One owners ahead of the game’s release in late 2016.

With new details about the Gears of War 4 beta now available, we want to take a look at the five things you need to know right now about this highly anticipated release.

Gears of War 4 Beta Release Date

1 / 5

The first thing that you need to know about the Gears of War 4 beta release for Xbox One is that it's not going to be coming out anytime soon. Well, that is, unless you consider the first part of 2016 "soon."

According to Microsoft and The Coalition, the Gears of War 4 beta will not arrive until next year. While a specific date hasn't been nailed down, the companies are saying that they expect to release it sometime during the spring of 2016.

Spring 2016 starts on March 20th which means that we probably won't see the Gears of War 4 beta come before that date. Spring ends after June 19th which means that we'll see the release come sometime during March, April, May, or June.

So, we'd circle those months in pen on the calendar if you're at all interested in taking part in the beta ahead of the game's release in late 2016.
