Gears of War: E-Day Announced, Release Date Unknown

Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled in a surprise announcement during the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, alongside a trailer that shows a defining moment in the Gears of War series.

In the announce trailer for the series’ next major installment, The Coalition has teamed up with Blur Studio to forge a visually stunning trailer using in-game assets in Unreal Engine 5. It features a new instrumental version of ‘Mad World,’ originally performed by Gary Jules for the iconic 2006 commercial, now brilliantly reimagined by the game’s composer Adam Lastiwka.

E-Day is the next mainline game in the Gears of War universe, set during the pivotal Emergence Day. players will follow the younger versions of the series’ original heroes, Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, as they begin their fight against the Locust invasion. These subterranean monsters, grotesque and relentless, erupt from below, laying siege on humanity itself.

In an exclusive interview with The Coalition Creative Director Matt Searcy by Xbox Wire, he said, “It’s going to feel like a new Gears game, because that’s what it is. It’s us revisiting the tone and the feeling of what makes Gears great, but we’re tapping into new techniques, new processes, and new technology that’s going to make the gameplay feel better than ever. It’s going to be awesome, a game that feels both truly new, and authentically Gears.”

No release date has been announced for Gears of War: E-Day, but based on the trailer, the game will be released on the Xbox and PC.
