For those anxiously waiting to see Gears of War 6, there’s some bad news. The Coalition has revealed a brand new Gears of War game, but it surely’s Gears of War: E-Day, an origin story of the Locust invasion on Emergence Day through the eyes of Marcus Fenix. This implies we’ll be following younger versions of the Gears of Wars’ series original heroes, Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago. In line with Creative Director Matt Searcy and Brand Director Nicole Fawcette, Gears of War: E-Day will proceed to be a third-person motion game, specializing in charging between cover in life-or-death situations, a gameplay style the series is thought for. Nevertheless, the team is working on recreating and improving that have, aiming to deliver a classic Gears of War game that feels authentic next to the unique but with next-gen tech behind it.
Gears of War: E-Day is about 14 years prior to the events of the unique Gears of War. The story will deal with the Locust and the way the world wasn’t prepared for such a threat, told through the eyes of a much younger Marcus and Dom. This implies Gears of War: E-Day will even function an origin story for Marcus and Dom, showing how their friendship and bond form to steer the franchise. The sport is being inbuilt Unreal Engine 5, and the trailer we see below is definitely in-engine.
The team also wanted to emphasize that it’s content with the stories told in Gears 4 and Gears 5 and has no plans to desert them. But collectively, they desired to tell an iconic origin story, which is why E-Day is the subsequent mainline entry for the franchise—it’s not a by-product. No release date or window were announced.
