Gears of War Reloaded Beta Weekend Extended After Rocky Launch

The highly anticipated second beta weekend for Gears of War: Reloaded has been extended to offer players more time and content following a rocky initial launch. Scheduled to run from June 20th to June 23rd, the beta will now include five maps and support for multiple game modes like Social Team Deathmatch and Competitive King of the Hill. The Coalition, developer of Gears of War: Reloaded, decided to extend the beta in response to player feedback highlighting server instability and technical issues experienced during the first weekend. Players reported significant lag and connection problems, prompting the studio to assure participants that improvements have been made. Gears of War: Reloaded, a reboot of the classic title, is set for full release on August 26, bringing enhanced graphics and performance to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Players reported server instability, lag, and a frustrating matchmaking experience where they often struggled to connect to games. Many noted that gameplay was often marked by stuttering and unexpected character disappearances, negatively impacting the overall experience.

Gears of War: Reloaded is a modern remaster of the iconic Gears of War series, originally launched in 2006. This revamped version aims to deliver an immersive experience with faster frame rates and enhanced visual fidelity to leverage the capabilities of current-generation consoles, ensuring both new players and veterans enjoy a smooth gaming experience filled with nostalgia.
