Here’s a comprehensive list of all the possible characters they could add into Gears 5. I am not including skins that simply change the color of the character, such as Color Blast, Onyx Gold, zombie, et cetera. I am also including characters we never got to play as, such as Karn, or the Cyclops. For practicality sake, I am excluding any characters that have only appeared in the comics or novels, as they would be very difficult to implement. They would have to create a new character model from scratch, find a voice actor, along with other complicated measures that are simply too impractical to implement into the game. Also, Jinn is excluded, as she is pregnant.
If I miss any, or if you have any ideas, do let me know so I can adjust the list. Also, I plan on crossing out characters that get added into the game. Yes, I realize the Swarm and DeeBee sections are lacking quite a bit, but there aren’t many original skins for those factions that don’t just change the color of the character model.
I hope this post becomes a hub for discussing potential future characters.
