Gears of War joins list of games getting a Netflix adaptation

Netflix announced its latest game-to-show/movie adaptation: Gears of War. The streaming service partnered with The Coalition to make a live-action movie and an “adult animation series” with potential for more. At the moment, it’s given no details on the release date of either property.

There’s no word yet on the storyline the movie will follow. In its description of the series, Netflix mentions “Delta Squad, a ragtag fireteam led by disgraced sergeant Marcus Fenix, [charged] with leading humanity’s last stand,” which implies it’s going to follow Fenix’s story. The series has also had several sequels and spin-offs that follow other characters, with 2019’s Gears 5 starring Kait Diaz.
