Kait Diaz is the lead in Gears 5 and I am absolutely ecstatic. Her taking JD’s place as the protagonist means a lot to me personally, but with how Gears of War 4 played out, it only makes sense that the story shifts to her perspective. If you haven’t finished Gears 4, this is your spoiler warning.
Gears 4’s massive cliffhanger about Kait’s heritage opens the door for all sorts of story options. What really are the Locust? How does Kait’s family relate to them? And what about the Swarm? So many questions, and while we probably won’t get any hints at an answer at E3, I do hope we’ll learn more about Gears 5’s gameplay on Microsoft’s stage.
