As with the base game as well as past Gears of War titles, combat in Hivebusters consists of player-controlled characters engaging in firefights with enemy forces from behind cover within linear shootout arenas and set-pieces, though players may opt to eliminate enemy units through other methods, such as attacking them in melee combat or taking advantage of environmental hazards. The pack takes place sometime following the resurgence of the Locust Horde, now reborn as the Swarm, as a threat to the human civilizations of Sera as of Gears of War 4. The pack is set in the South Islands region in the world of Sera. Hivebusters consists of a six-chapter story-driven campaign for Gears 5. It received positive reviews from video game publications, who praised the fast paced action, graphical quality, and the interactions between the pack's cast of characters, although some commentators found its short length to be detrimental to the overall gameplay experience. Gears 5: Hivebusters is the first single-player downloadable content pack for Gears 5. The pack is a direct prequel to the Gears of War: Hivebusters comic book series, and follows the origin story of Scorpio Squad, an ad-hoc team of commandos who embark on suicide missions to combat the threat of the Swarm by infiltrating and sabotaging their Hives through the use of lethal toxins. It was released for Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on December 15, 2020. Gears 5: Hivebusters is a downloadable content (DLC) expansion pack developed by The Coalition and published by Xbox Game Studios for the 2019 third-person shooter video game Gears 5.
