It's been five years and a new console launch since Marcus Fenix shut down the Locust threat in Gears of War 3, so Gears of War 4 begins with a history lesson.

The game's 20-minute prologue, which you can watch above, winds through a ****** of playable flashbacks in which players can participate in key moments of the ****** lore. From obtaining the Hammer of Dawn orbital bombardment tech**logy to the Emergence Day arrival of the Locust and their eventual defeat, you'll get a sense of the groundwork that leads into the latest game.

Gears of War 4 comes to PC and Xbox One on Oct. 11.
