These days the news about non Gears 5 is certainly missing; After finally revealing the Game Campaign and just a few hours after the first reviews of the game arrived (expected tomorrow, September 4, at 3:00 p.m., including ours!), Microsoft now announces the famous American wrestler and actor Dave Bautista will arrive in the title as a multiplayer character starting September 15.

This collaboration stems from Batista's interest in Gears of War; The American artist had expressed a desire to play Marcus Fenix in the film of the game, only to be supported in his campaign by numerous fans. Even there were no reports of his involvement in the film, the guys at The Coalition appreciated so much passion and proposed to him to appear as himself, but wearing Marcus' armor!

Are you ready to split Locust as Batista? While waiting, here's an announcement video and a set of screenshots that show us his in-game model!
