Gears of War: E-Day focuses on the franchise's origins

The Coalition is developing Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel that explores the initial hours of the Locust invasion on the planet Sera. The game aims to return to the franchise's roots by focusing on the pivotal ‘Emergence Day’ event, which was previously only referenced through dialogue and memories in earlier titles.

Players will follow the experiences of iconic characters Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago during the onset of the conflict. The new installment promises a more fluid technical experience designed for current-generation hardware, featuring improved combat, cover mechanics, and environmental destruction, while also introducing more open spaces within the campaign.
