One of the Xbox’s most well-known titles is now part of Netflix’s expanding library of video game adaptations. The streaming service is collaborating with series creator The Coalition to create a live-action Gears of War film. There are no specifics on the cast, premise, or release date, but Netflix is hinting at an adult animated programme and “additional tales.”
The Locust, an aggressive creature that has almost destroyed human civilisation, is the focus of the series. The original Gears of War trilogy focuses on grizzled veteran Marcus Fenix, while subsequent games and spinoffs have centred on his son JD, frequent comrade Baird, and rebel-turned-soldier Kait.
