Tonight during Fear the Walking Dead‘s season two premiere, Microsoft aired a new trailer for Xbox One shooter Gears of War 4. This moving trailer, set to an eerie version of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” bounces back and forth between the past and present. We won’t spoil it for you.

Microsoft had been promoting this new video since Thursday.
Gears of War 4 is scheduled to launch on October 11 for Xbox One. A PC version may also be released, but nothing has been confirmed at this stage. In other news, it’s been confirmed that the game will offer split-screen play for multiplayer, though frame rate drops to 30 FPS when playing this way.
The Gears of War 4 multiplayer beta will begin later this month–check out this post to find out how to get in. On the subject of multiplayer, producer Rod Fergusson recently said Gears of War’s multiplayer–since Gears of War 1–has been “under-served,” and explained why Gears of War 4 will change that.
