Gears of War, one of the video games that helped make both Epic Games and Xbox what they are today, will become a movie after a decade and a half of false starts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The franchise will be picked up by Netflix, which plans both a live-action feature film and an animated TV series. If those are well-received by viewers, it could be just the beginning for the franchise on Netflix.
The first Gears of War game was released 16 years ago this Monday-on November 7, 2006. Since then, it has received four direct sequels up through 2019's Gears 5, as well as a handful of spinoffs like 2020's Gears Tactics.
