Gears 5 players are getting a pre-launch treat: a message teasing the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day. The game, a prequel revisiting the original Locust invasion, was unveiled at Xbox's recent showcase.
Nearly five years after Gears 5, this new installment shifts focus back to Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, promising a darker, more horror-focused experience. The in-game message, titled "Emergence Begins," serves as a reminder, highlighting E-Day's premise and Unreal Engine 5 development, hinting at impressive visuals.
A 2025 release would place E-Day alongside other major Xbox titles already slated for that year, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, and South of Midnight. This crowded release calendar might present a challenge for The Coalition. Regardless of the exact release year—2025 or 2026—longtime fans eagerly anticipate returning to the series' horror origins with Marcus and Dom.
