The three protagonists will stay together for most of the game, but there will be times, like in past Gears of War titles, when they split up. The first player will always be in control of Marcus Fenix's son JD, whereas the second player will be tasked with choosing whether or not they want to play as JD's childhood friend Del Walker or the Outsider Kait Diaz. Gears of War 4's co-op campaign will allow two players to play from start to finish either online or in split-screen.
Some that have been anticipating Gears of War 4 may have feared the same for the co-op centric franchise, but luckily, it has now been confirmed that Gears of War 4 will support split-screen co-op. It seems like many developers have decided to opt out of local co-op and split-screen modes, in favor of entirely online multiplayer experiences. Gears of War 4 will feature split-screen co-op for two players, with the second player choosing between Kate Diaz or Del Walker to play as throughout the campaign.Īn unfortunate trend in the gaming industry these last few years has been the declining support of couch multiplayer.
