Xbox and Rockstar Energy Drink Unveil Second and Third Gears 5 Collector’s Series Cans

At E3 2019, Rockstar Energy Drink and Xbox unveiled plans to launch the largest fan inspired game promotion to date to support the upcoming launch of Gears 5. Today, ahead of the Gears Esports Invitational presented by ELEAGUE, we’re revealing the second and third of six Gears 5 Collector Can designs – inspired by the legendary Marcus Fenix for one can and the monstrous Swarm for the other.

The Invitational, which features the debut of Gears 5 Versus mode including the all-new Escalation competitive mode, will be streamed throughout the weekend and will feature play from top Gears Sports competitors as featured on this season of ELEAGUE, airing Fridays at 8 p.m. PDT/11 p.m. EDT on TBS.

“These designs gave me a chance to really have fun,” said Luke Preece. “Like with the Escape design, the starting point was Gears’ well-known Crimson Omen logo. From there, I started adding elements based on the new game, classic elements from Marcus like the scar and bandanna, and the oversized and monstrous features for the Swarm Warden. Marcus looked bad-ass with iconic elements while the Warden looked so brutal and menacing.”

The final Gears 5 Collector Series Cans will be unveiled next month. On-Can Code activated tabs will allow players to unlock exclusive rewards (like Boost for Gears 5) and chance to win Gears 5 inspired prizes, plus a Mega give-away to be detailed near launch.
