Fight for family.
Fight for survival.
Fight the Swarm.
Never fight alone:

The countdown to October 11th 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.

Destroy my tomato patch if old.

EDIT: Looks like some previews are starting to come in as well:

I think they missed by doing the standard "sad cover of a song" thing. The original would've made for a more powerful trailer, I think.

Looks pretty good though.

Damn, thats a really great trailer

Just that ''If we dont stop this thing everyone within a thousand miles dies'' line cringed me a bit, so cliche
 
That looked really really good.

Really good. Had to give a smile when they 'suit up' and Cole baby, woooooo! Mechs!
 
Yeah I know they've been doing it since the Mad World trailer and I will never forgive them for coming up with the trend.

Difference is that Mad World was a synthy new wave song and the cover made sense. Nothing Else Matters is already sombre.


Gotcha. I completely misread what you wrote. In this case, yeah. I think the original Metallica version would have been fine. I do think that disturbeds cover of Sound of Silence was pretty remarkable though. I hadn't heard it before that trailer.
