The Xbox One debut of Gears of War franchise is looming ever closer, on the 28th of August 2015 we shall be graced with the Gear of War: Ultimate Edition. This will be a remaster of the original Gears trilogy (Gears 1,2 & 3), enhanced graphics and bringing the classic multiplayer to the new generation.
The Coalition (who are now at the Gear helm) announced today today that sales for the Ultimate Edition have been very well received and the game has already went gold prior to its launch date. For people that do not know, going gold means the game has sold 500,000 units. This is a promising start to The Coalition taking over the Gears franchise and it shows that people are still in love with the game series, so this will give a rough prediction to how Gears of War 4 will sell in the future upon its release.
The team at The Coalition have released a special behind-the-scenes video to celebrate the games sales to date, this video is available to view on the companies official website which can be found – HERE.
