During the Xbox Game Showcase 2024, Microsoft revealed the new mainline game in the Gears series, Gears of War: E-Day. The game will be a prequel to the first game and is set 14 years prior to the beginning of the series.
The new series will bring back protagonist duo Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago as they fight against the Locust Horde invasion during Emergence Day, in an origin story to the original trilogy. The reveal trailer showed no in-engine gameplay. Instead, it showed a CGI cutscene of a young Marcus Fenix fighting against a Locust Drone while being supported by Dom Santiago. The trailer also featured a piano cover of the iconic “Mad World” theme song.

Additionally, developers at The Coalition revealed that the announcement of this new origin story in the Gears series doesn’t mean that this isn’t the end of the storyline started in Gears 4 and Gears 5. Brand Director Nicole Fawcette said “We’re not retreating from that storyline in any way. But in [this] moment, we had an opportunity to write our next step, and this one just felt too good to miss.”
Gears of War: E-Day is currently in development for the Xbox Series X. There is no announced release date or window for the game yet.
