Back in October, The Coalition revealed that a story DLC pack was coming to Gears 5 sometime in December. Now, we’ve got a new trailer and release date for Gears 5: Hivebusters. This expansion adds a three-hour story campaign that sees Scorpio Squad traversing the volcanic Golangi islands. Gears 5: Hivebusters is set to release on December 15, 2020.

You can check out the new trailer for the Gears 5: Hivebusters expansion below.

Scorpio Squad — Mac, Keegan and Lahni — have unique abilities that can be used in the story missions. This trio first debuted in the Escape mode that shipped with Gears 5, so it’ll be interesting to see where their story goes, especially with mysterious new Swarm creatures shown in the trailer.

This expansion is available for $20 but if you’re subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, it’s included at no additional cost.
