Are Gears 5 fans interested in checking out some new characters? There’s six coming in hot, and they’re going to be available today. These new Operation 1 characters are COG Gear, DeeBee, the Warden, and General RAAM. For the upcoming Terminator: Dark Fate movie, players are going to get the chance to play as Grace, voiced by Mackenzie Davis, and the new Terminator model Rev-9.

Here’s what we know about the upcoming heroes and villains coming to the game:
