The Gears of War prequel has dropped its first gameplay footage at the Xbox Showcase case, and it did not disappoint. Oh, and we’ve got a release date too.
As we already knew with Gears of E-Day, it takes place years before the events of when the Locust and their queen had taken over the planet Sera.
The stunning gameplay featured a young Marcus Fenix alongside his brother-in-arms, Dominic Santiago, battling the Locust on the streets of Sera, which is a strange sight to see considering we’re used to seeing this planet in ruins in the sequel games.
It was believed that Gears of War: E-Day would be coming to PlayStation 5, as well as PC and Xbox Series X/S. However, that is no longer the case because Asha Sharma, the new Xbox CEO, has confirmed that it will be an Xbox console exclusive. So it might be worth assuming that it won’t be coming to PS5 anytime soon, if at all.
Gears of War: E-Day Release Date
Gears of War: E-Day will be released on PC and Xbox Series X/S on October 6, 2026. It will also launch on Xbox Game Pass.
