Xbox has officially revealed the next instalment in the Gears of War franchise, Gears of War E-Day.
While we did get confirmation that a new game is now in development, unfortunately, there was no word of a release date. However, we do know that Gears of War E-Day will be a prequel to the mainline games and be set 14 years before the events of the original game.
We also have an official game description, which you can read below.
“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.”
It’s confirmed Gears of War E-Day is built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, and will deliver an “unprecedented graphical fidelity.
There was also no word on release platforms, but it’s safe to assume that Gears of War E-Day will be coming to Xbox consoles and PC like past titles in the series. It’s unclear at this time if Xbox will be skipping Xbox One.
This story is still developing, stay tuned for more information soon.
