New Campaign Details
In Hivebusters, you'll play as Lahni, Keegan and Mac who you might remember from Gears 5's Escape Mode.
You'll join our heroes on their first operation as part of the secretive Hivebuster program, dubbed "Scorpio Squad".
Your mission? Destroy a Swarm Hive who might hold the key to saving Sera and their own redemption.
The campaign will span three hours and is set on the volcanic Galangi islands, where lava flows and sandy beaches are crawling with both Swarm and a deadly new predator!

There's also few additional pieces of content coming with the new DLC.
These include using and upgrading Ultimate Abilities in a campaign story for the first time, a 3-player co-op mode (split-screen or online) and 16 new achievements to unlock a 210 Gamerscore.
