The Gears Tactics Xbox One release date and Xbox Series X release date has finally been locked in, and that's not all — some new content will be coming to the game right after it lands on Microsoft's consoles.

Gears Tactics is a prequel to the core Gears of War games, set 12 years before the first entry in the franchise. First revealed at E3 2018, this turn-based strategy game has players taking on the role of Gabe Diaz as mankind begins to truly understand the threat of the Locust Horde. Now, it's coming to Xbox One and Xbox Series X in just a few short weeks along with a pretty cool content update.
