Gears of War is one of the most critically-acclaimed and best-selling franchises of current times, having found a massive audience on Xbox 360. In 2007, PC gamers did get the chance to play the original game, but subsequent titles sadly remained exclusive to consoles. Now, with their renewed focus on PC, Microsoft is bringing Gears of War: Ultimate Edition to PC, along with Fable Legends and other games.
In short, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is the 2007 PC release remastered from the ground-up with new graphics, tweaked gameplay and cutscenes, 7.1 Dolby Surround sound, bonus features, 19 multiplayer maps, dedicated game servers, skill-based matchmaking, new multiplayer features and new multiplayer game modes, including one from Gears of War 3.
