The 20th anniversary video 20 Years | A Love Letter to Gears pays tribute to two decades of the franchise, looking back on the journey from the original Gears of War in 2006 through to Gears of War: E-Day, and recalling the adventures of Marcus Fenix, Dominic Santiago, and the series' most memorable moments . The Coalition paired the tribute with a message thanking the community, reflecting on the friendships, family playthroughs, and connections formed around the games, and noting that brotherhood, loyalty, and having each other's backs have always been central to Gears .

Season 2: Legacy follows on December 1, bringing back fan-favorite maps, modes, and multiplayer skins, including a Solemn Memories Dom skin depicting him in the suit from the famous photo with Maria in Gears of War 2 .
