Gears of War: E-Day surprises at the Xbox Showcase

In a move no one expected, Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled at the Xbox Showcase. We had heard rumors of Gears 6 and possibly a Gears of War collection, but a prequel wasn’t at all what people were thinking. Seeing a young Marcus and Dom just makes your heart happy, even knowing the struggles they will eventually face. The news is below from Xbox Wire, and trailer above.

Gears of War: E-Day is the next mainline game in the Gears of War universe, set during the pivotal Emergence Day. 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.

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. The trailer made its debut in 4K resolution and 30 FPS with 5.1 stereo sound. These specs, optimized for streaming, do not represent the final game’s performance.
