More about Gears of War: E-Day

Gears of War: E-Day is a third-person shooter that serves as the origin story for the Gears of War franchise. Players experience Emergence Day, the brutal event where the Locust Horde first emerges, fourteen years before the original game. The campaign follows Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago as they fight against the Locust Horde in a desperate struggle for survival. The game features Horde Siege, a co-op wave survival mode for up to four players, and Versus PvP modes with refined 4v4 gameplay. Built in Unreal Engine 5, it emphasizes immersive storytelling, modernized combat mechanics, and a darker, grittier tone compared to previous entries. The game supports cross-platform play and includes advanced graphics features like 4K resolution and ray-traced lighting.
