“This is the definition of next level gaming”: Gears of War E-Day was the Prequel Everyone Didn’t Know They Wanted, But Now We All Can’t Get Enough
Gears of War E-Day was a title that was shown off at Xbox Games Showcase 2024, among many others. The series has been primarily dormant since the release of Gears 5, which came out in 2019.
Fans were waiting for the series to get another title with bated breath, but no one expected the next one to be a prequel. However, now that it has been officially announced, fans seem positive and cannot wait for the title’s release.
Gears of War E-day’s Gritty Visuals and Terrific Score Make for a Jaw-Dropping Trailer
There were numerous leaks and rumors regarding the Xbox Showcase featuring a title from the Gears of War franchise. However, nothing was known for sure. While the showcase was well-rounded and featured some fantastic titles, it seems E-Day was one of the show’s highlights.

Some of the details about the game were shared on Xbox Wire, the console company’s official news blog. As per the blog, the prequel is set 14 years before the original game in the franchise. The trailer footage was all from the in-game engine, and it is confirmed that the title will be made using the state-of-the-art Unreal Engine 5.
The blog post also states it will align more with the classic games in the series, which had a significant focus on cover-shooting elements. The title will be played from the perspective of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, who will be seen in a much younger state.
The enemy design is another switch the game is confirmed to make. While the primary foe in battle will be Locusts, a species that fans of the series are familiar with, the game will present them differently.
Gears of War E-day’s Locusts Will Be “Living Nightmares”
The visuals for Gears of War E-day look stunning, and the game seems promising overall.
Rumors had it that the upcoming Gears of War game would be an Xbox Exclusive, and that was enough for some PlayStation fans to hate the game. Gears of War E-day, however, looks to change many things about the franchise well.
For example, as visible from the trailer, the game will ramp up the grotesque visuals to drive home the point of the recasting of locusts and make them feel much more intimidating.

Not to mention, since players will be controlling a much more inexperienced version of the protagonist, killing even the weakest of enemies will not be a cakewalk. This is how fans reacted to the game’s trailer.

Everything about the game’s announcement trailer is exciting, especially the fact that it contained little to no cinematic footage according to Xbox. And the trailer makes it feel like the game will push the boundaries of next-gen hardware.
