The corpses left behind by the Locust became wrapped in cocoons that were completely indestructible, which forced the COG to dump said corpses numbering in the thousands off at dumping grounds all across Sera, and locked them away out of sight. The Locust was thought to have been completely disposed of when Adam Fenix' Neutron Bomb went off when in actuality, this was far from being the case. like a swarm."Ī new enemy to humanity that came out of hiding 25 years after the war against the Locust Horde was finally brought to an end. It seems like Gears fans will just have to wait and see how it all shakes out."Guys, that sounded like there were dozens of em'. Or perhaps JD can remember why he deserted the COG in the first place and focus on getting Kait some closure. Perhaps Del could have a change of heart and wish to realign himself with First Minister Jinn.
This choice will seemingly affect some of the storytelling in Gears 6 and will likely cause some players to question if who they saved was the best option. However, players that have completed Gears 5 know that only one of these characters made it out of the Battle of New Ephyra alive. On the other end of this was JD, who took on a slightly antagonistic role and was committed to being a COG soldier that followed orders after his injuries from the Hammer of Dawn. Del was a steadfast companion and partner to Kait in her journey to discover the truth of her family’s past. Both of these characters took on very different roles from one another in the story of Gears 5.
Perhaps the most interesting role in Gears 6 will be that of either JD or Del. This seems to become easier when players stop and analyze what these characters have been through over the course of the previous two Gears of War games, and the mechanics The Coalition has implemented. While it's currently unknown as to how the repercussions of these Gears 5 events will play out in Gears 6, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility to begin predicting what will happen to each of the main protagonists.

First Minister Jinn wants to capture Kait and believes that she can be used to control The Swarm. Kait and the rest of her companions are effectively left in the rubble of New Ephyra following the Kraken attack with a high amount of casualties, including Jack and either JD or Del (depending on who players chose to save). Gears 5 ends with a particularly large cliffhanger and many events to unpack in the coming sequel. And with the end of Gears 5 leaving players on a cliffhanger, Gears 6 seems like it has quite a bit of ground to cover when it comes to concluding the trilogy.
With Halo Infinite delayed for an unknown period of time, players will likely turn to the Gears of War franchise as the next most likely series to make an appearance on the new platforms. With Xbox Series X and Series S consoles launching today, Xbox fans are likely excited to see what first party titles will become available over the coming year.
