The Platinum Trophy for Gears of War: Reloaded on PS5 indicates that there might be more games from the franchise slated for either remasters, or regular releases on modern platforms. As caught by Insider Gaming, the Platinum Trophy is exclusive to the PS5 version of the game, which is also available on PC and Xbox Series X/S, and the wording of its description indicates that more is on the way.
“Your adventure is over, for now…” reads the description of the Platinum Trophy for Gears of War: Reloaded. As Insider Gaming notes, this wording might be more deliberate than it appears, since Xbox doesn’t have an equivalent achievement that a player earns for earning all of the other achievements.
Rumours have been going around about a Gears of War Collection coming to multiple platforms for some time. This collection would presumably feature all of the mainline Gears of War games, which would be especially noteworthy since Gears of War 2, 3 and Judgment never made it to platforms aside from the Xbox 360. Multiplatform releases for the franchise only properly began with Gears of War 4 for Xbox One and PC. Gears of War: Reloaded is the first title in the series to have also been released on PlayStation.
Interestingly, rumours for this Gears of War Collection have also indicated that none of the PvP modes would be brought along. Despite this, however, the collection is expected to allow for co-op play through all of the campaigns. Whether we will also see the return of the older titles’ Horde modes is also currently unknown.
Gears of War: Reloaded just came out on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S yesterday. The title serves as an upgrade/remaster for the original 2007 release of Gears of War. Along with high resolution textures, support for 4K and smoother frame rates, Gears of War: Reloaded also features all of the content and DLC that had been released for the classic third-person action game and its Ultimate Edition release.
While the game might be seeing quite a bit of success, especially on consoles, PC players who prefer to buy their titles through Steam have been facing quite a few issues. The title currently sits at an aggregate of Mixed reviews on Steam, with many negative reviews for the game complaining about technical issues as well as the lack of split-screen multiplayer.
“It was advertised to feature local co-op on PC, similar to Gears 5, which we enjoyed from beginning to end,” noted one user review on Steam. “It was the reason we bought this game. False advertising is the worst.”
Interestingly, while the Steam listing for Gears of War: Reloaded previously mentioned that split-screen co-op for the campaign would be available, updates to the Steam page have since removed references to the feature. Players have also been facing issues with linking their Microsoft accounts to the title, as well as technical issues causing the game to crash whenever graphics settings have been changed.
