Gears of War: E-Day was first announced during the Xbox Summer Showcase in June 2024. The game is a prequel to the Gears of War series featuring Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago.

“Gears of War: E-Day is not just our next major game; it’s a return to what makes Gears of War games special and authentic. We’re pleased to be partnering with the talented folks at People Can Fly who have been a part of our franchise’s legacy for so long.” – Mike Crump, Studio Head, The Coalition.

“Our team at People Can Fly, made up of dedicated Gears of War fans, is pouring everything we have into creating an experience that will exceed expectations. While we can’t share more just yet, we’re eager for the day when we can show all the exciting things we’ve been working on.”

Gears of War: E-Day will be released for Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam. The next Gears of War title is rumored to release in late 2025. However, The Coalition or Xbox Game Studios have made anything official as far as the release window goes.
