So as we all know, according to the Gears 5 roadmap. there will be 3 more playable multiplayer characters!! Shraak himself was already revealed and so the MAIN purpose of this thread is a prediction thread honestly.
Feel free to list yours down below but here are mine!
In the case of Anya, Jace, Sam, Hoffman, Tai, Kim and Ect; I don’t think they’ll be features in this OP. But OP 5? Of course! Going based off of TC’s patterns, they tend to save the best for last and keep the main hard hitters away . I predict Sofia Hendrick and The Rager !
Sofia Hendrick She’s the final member of Kilo Squad yet to be featured in the game+she’s a Judgment character!
Locus Rager At this point another Locust character would definently benefit the swarm roster+he’s yet another judgment character!
I’m all for Loomis returning. Not as big on Sofia but I feel she’s overdue to return. Especially since we have every other Kilo member present. I have a hunch we’ll have a Judgment specific OP coming in the future.
I would have thought Sraak, purely because they’ve already revealed the Mythic Sraak skin, and the way they have described and defined what a character is, Sraak won’t be a skin variant for an existing character - he’d be a fully fledged character in his own right.
Aside from that, Oscar is the last remaining human character who appears in GOW5’s campaign who hasn’t been released yet, although I accept he’s not popular amongst fans.
Sam could be another. If I remember correctly she doesn’t appear in GOW5 but has a couple of lines (over the Raven helicopter radio).
They’re placeholder images. The Helmetless COG characters would be skin variants for the existing COG Gear anyway and wouldn’t be considered a new character per se.
Anya-although it would be sorta weird seeing Anya in Gears 5 (poor Marcus) she would complete that OG squad I think.
Sofia-Come on now, she’s THICC… need I say more?
I sorta suspect that female characters are much more popular than male characters are generally speaking, the reason being that psychologically speaking its harder to hit females (because they are skinnier and such) so they would be better off giving us more female characters than anything.
And I’m pretty sure we literally got those helmetless variants of the base COG Gear in Op 2 already, in the Tour. Could be wrong though, maybe it was Op 3s Tour.
I would of liked Hoffman since he’s reference quite a bit in escape with some characters also he voices some of the trailers so I would assume he did some voice lines while he was there but I don’t mind if he didn’t have any new lines straight from gears 4
i would like tai and prescott but seeing as how the theme this op is “brothers to the end” i think it’ll be sofia for the first one (due to the bugged voice clips from paduk where he says her name) and Kim for the second as he was a part of Delta for a time and that fits the theme
