To announce the return of the Griffin, the former CEO of Griffin Imulsion Corporation in Gears of War 3 and a character that’s famously voiced by Ice-T, a special trailer was released that featured the character’s brash personality and signature smack-talking. It also includes one of the best anti-Swarm quotes to use during your multiplayer matches.

With the news that Griffin is returning to Gears of War 4, many players have already been wondering how they can unlock the character and hear his signature quotes once again. The description for the Gears of War 4 “Get Griffin” trailer doesn’t say what kind of challenge players will have to complete in order to unlock Griffin, but it does say that more information will be coming on Thursday.

“Griffin returns to Gears of War 4 this week, earnable for free through a gameplay challenge,” the description of the Gears of War trailer said. “Find out how you can earn Griffin in tomorrow's What's Up - live at 11am on Thursday 19th April at gearsofwar.com.”

Ice-T took to Twitter several days ago to tease that he had an exclusive Gears of War announcement coming and told players to stay tuned for more info. While players speculated about what Ice-T may be teasing, there were suggestions that his announcement likely had to do with his Gears of War 3 characters as opposed to a larger Gears of War announcement. Alongside the release of the Gears of War trailer that previewed Griffin’s return, the rapper, actor, and voice actor tweeted once again with a message that sounds exactly like something Griffin would say in-game.

Bro, don't tell me the OG Griffin is back! 😊
