It's no secret that Dave Bautista, the famous wrestler-turned-actor, tried everything to be able to play Marcus in the upcoming Gears of War movie — but it was all vain.
However, there is some consolation for Bautista now, as he is now being enshrined in Gears 5 as a playable multiplayer character.
No information is yet available as to how much being able to Batista-bomb their opponents on Xbox Live will cost, but the character will be available on September 15, 2019 — after Bautista's participation in the WWE Clash of Champions.
Gears 5 was developed by The Coalition and is due to be released on September 10 for Xbox One and PC. Players who pre-ordered the game or subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate will have access from September 6.
