The most obvious, perhaps, is the fact that this is the venerable Xbox franchise's first outing on the current-generation Xbox One console. Then there's the fact that a new developer, The Coalition, has taken the reins from series originator Epic Games. The thing that really drives the point home, though, is the new generation of characters taking up the Lancer.
The game takes place several decades after the destruction of the Locust. In a bid to keep what's left of civilisation hanging on, JD Fenix and his friends, Kait and Del, must uncover the origins of a monstrous new enemy.
