A release date has yet to be announced for Gears Of War: E-Day, but has been confirmed for release on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

The official game description reads: “Experience the brutal horror of Emergence Day through the eyes of Marcus Fenix in the origin story of one of gaming’s most acclaimed sagas.​ Fourteen years before Gears of War, war heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago return home to face a new nightmare: the Locust Horde. These subterranean monsters, grotesque and relentless, erupt from below, laying siege on humanity itself.”

Gears Of War: E-Day will mark the first Gears title since 2019’s Gears 5. E-Day is also the latest development in The Coalition’s plans to expand the universe of Gears Of War. 2022 saw Netflix confirm it had partnered with The Coalition to release a number of Gears Of War projects, including a live action film however updates have been few and far between ever since.
