Gears Of War E-Day Looks Mobility-Focused, And Don’t Worry, There’s A Chainsaw

During the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft announced that Gears of War: E-Day will launch on October 3. The game is co-developed by The Coalition and People Can Fly, and is in the works for Xbox Series X|S and PC. It's not coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma confirmed during the showcase. During the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft showed off new gameplay footage for the game, and it looked pretty impressive. We saw Marcus Fenix in an intense set-piece fighting off numerous types of Locust enemies, now with seemingly more mobility abilities, including sliding. The footage confirms that a lot of the Gears of War mainstays are staying intact, including the active reload and cover systems, and the general Gears of War vibe. And of course, the chainsaw is back. In short, this definitely looks like a Gears of War game. E-Day is a prequel that focuses on Emergence Day, which is when the Locust emerged from underground in the Gears of War lore. The original Marcus and Dom voice actors are returning. The game was reportedly planned for PS5 until Microsoft decided to cancel that version as part of its plan to return to exclusivity.
