Gears 5 Expansion Pack
Release Date: December 15, 2020
Gears 5 Hivebusters is the first expansion to the fifth installment of the Gears series from Xbox Game Studios, taking place in the Galanga Islands, in which we take part in a secret operation, playing the role of a heroes from Escape Mode.
Gears 5 - Hivebusters is a paid expansion that enriches the feature campaign with an additional about 3-hour scenario, focusing on three characters known from the Escape mode. Additionally, we can use the ultimate skills and new achievements.
The action is set in the volcanic area of Galanga. This is where Lahni, Keegan or Mac are sent to the first secret operation under the Hivebusters programme. Although the mission is suicidal, because the Scorpio team's task is to destroy the Swarm's hive, its completion may save Sera.
The gameplay has not changed since the main game, except for the fact that the expansion gives us the opportunity to use and improve the powerful ultimate skills that were previously not available in story mode.
The expansion is designed for single player gameplay and for up to three people in online co-op mode.
In order to launch Hivebusters it is necessary to have a basic version of the game - Gears 5 and a profile in Xbox.com. In addition, thanks to the expansion, there are new achievements.

Gears 5: Hivebusters is a short an enjoyable change of pace, playing as Scorpio Squad through their origin story. It runs and looks incredible on the Xbox Series X and it’s the type of expansion I love because it adds more story to an already awesome base game.
IGN: 8 / 10 by Brian Barnett
Apart from a few inconsistencies with the relationships between its main characters, Hivebusters does everything a great Gears game should and then some.
