This week, Gears 5 gets its first story DLC in the form of Hivebusters, a new 3-hours campaign starring some of the characters from the game’s online Hivebuster co-op mode.
You know it’s a quiet and mostly empty week for new game releases when the biggest thing is a DLC expansion for a game released last year. We are deep in December and with Cyberpunk 2077 out and mostly working, there aren’t really any more big games coming in 2020. So it might be the perfect time to start working on your backlog.
