Microsoft is bringing the hit Gears of War franchise to iOS, and the wait is nearly over.

A year after the game was first confirmed, you can now preorder Gears Pop! in the App Store ahead of its official release in just a few months.

As you’ve probably gathered from the name, Gears Pop! isn’t a traditional Gears of War title. Microsoft has teamed up with Mediatonic and Funko — the same company behind those adorable collectibles — for something new.

Gears Pop! lets you take part in explosive real-time multiplayer battles in the Gears universe for the first time ever on mobile.

Gears Pop! arrives in September

The game features more than 30 Gears characters to collect, each designed like a lovable Funko Pop! figure. You’ll use them to build your ultimate squad and lead them to victory against other players online.

There are AI opponents to play against when you need to sharpen up your skills, and “Ultimate” abilities that will make your squad even stronger.
