Gears 5 developer The Coalition has been dealt a bit of a Christmas blow over the past 24 hours-or-so, as over 35 upcoming multiplayer character skins for the game have been leaked across social media and Reddit.
We're not exactly sure where the leak originated from (it doesn't appear to be the Gears Mexico fan account on Twitter as some have suggested), but nevertheless the official Gears of War Twitter account seemingly acknowledged the leak last night by posting the following meme - all-but confirming these skins are the real deal.

In terms of the skins themselves, we've got some Omega Squad, Hivebuster, Chrome Steel, Hollow Storm, Recon, Heroic and various other character designs on the way, a selection of which you can see in the video and tweet above.
What do you make of these leaked skins? Give us your thoughts down in the comments below.

Microsoft is surely supporting this game nicely, but is the online community actually big?
I'm trying the singleplayer campaign of Gears 5 now, but the main word is trying. It just feels formula formula formula.
I liked Gears 5 back when I played it around launch. I don't recall it being terribly innovative but the semi-open worlds were fun and the Gears story was a good one. Like so many of these co-op titles, it's (lots) more fun with friends.
Online is pretty busy. Gears still has a lot of MP draw and the big casual mode (Horde) is very well-populated.
I absolutely loved Gears 5’s campaign. And I just played through the Hivebusters DLC campaign & it was really good. In fact, I have loved all Gears Of War campaigns.
I can’t stand the competitive multiplayer though......mostly because I completely suck at it. 😂 I have really enjoyed Horde mode through the years up until Gears 5 turned it into a complete grind.
But this leads me to this question......35 more skins?!! How many skins can the community want or need at this point?
I would like to see more campaign DLC than them constantly throwing out multiplayer stuff. And how many different outfits does Kate or JD need? Lol.
Me and 2 other friends are going through co op and we are having a lot of fun. We've created a few bot matches which were also pretty fun and challenging. We'll do more bot matches and learn the maps before going into MP. Some of the MP maps look pretty stunning though, even better than some of the SP game.
I’ve been a massive fan of the Gears of war games since they originally released on 360 but I got a little worried when coalition took over. They did well with remastering/remaking the original but 4 killed it for me. I can understand they wanted to put their own spin and branch it away slightly to make it more inviting for new players but I just didn’t enjoy it and gears 5 is the same
