After doing this, they return to the COG capital, New Ephyra, where Baird informs them that he still cannot locate the other satellites. Reformed as the new Delta Squad, they travel to the ruins of Azura at Damon Baird's request in order to launch a Hammer of Dawn satellite and restore the Hammer of Dawn network. JD, Del, and Marcus are officially reinstated in the COG Army alongside Kait. James Dominic 'JD' Fenix ( Liam McIntyre), his best friend Delmont 'Del' Walker ( Eugene Byrd), and JD's father Marcus Fenix ( John DiMaggio) also return. As Kait, the player must uncover the origins of the Locust and the truth behind her family history.
Gears 5 takes place months after the events of Gears of War 4 and focuses on Kait Diaz ( Laura Bailey), an Outsider who is descended from Myrrah ( Carolyn Seymour), Queen of the Locust Horde.
In addition to single-player gameplay, the game supports three-player local split screen or online cooperative gameplay.
