Gears of War: E-Day prequel explores the start of the Locust war

The Coalition is developing ‘Gears of War: E-Day’, a prequel to the established science-fiction shooter franchise. Developed using Unreal Engine 5, the game serves as an origin story set 14 years before the events of the original title.

The narrative focuses on the onset of the war on the planet Sera, specifically detailing the emergence of the Locust creatures from underground. The story explores the early relationship between protagonists Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, who are depicted as young veterans navigating a period of peace following the Pendulum Wars before the sudden outbreak of conflict.

Gameplay elements include a campaign centered around the city of Kalona, which shows progressive damage from attacks. While initially linear, the game introduces broader zones that allow players to engage in optional activities and collect resources, building upon design elements seen in ‘Gears 5’.
