The Coalition Gears 5 Art Blast—Environments and Concept Art

Three years ago when we set out to create Gears 5, we knew we had to find a way to stay true to the franchise lore but also innovate and challenge player expectations. The sheer scale of the game let us explore locations that were new to the franchise and present them in ways that were not possible in previous titles. As a result, Gears 5 has been a massively rewarding undertaking.

It has been a true pleasure leading our talented art team and I’m very proud to be able to present a glimpse into that effort through the support of our friends at ArtStation.

Below is a collection of images that showcases the breadth and quality of art created by The Coalition’s passionate team. I hope you enjoy them!
