Gears of War: E-Day

About the game

Gears of War: E-Day is the origin story of The Coalition's cover-based third-person shooter series, set fourteen years before the original Gears of War. The campaign follows Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago on Emergence Day, when the Locust Horde first breaks out from underground. The tone is darker and grittier, with reimagined familiar enemies alongside new creatures and villains meant to bring back a real sense of horror. Multiplayer has two sides. Horde Siege is a bigger take on the co-op wave survival mode, where you pick a class (Assault, Marksman, Medic or Breacher), drop in as a four-player squad, and team up with other squads on shared objectives and world bosses to earn rewards and upgrade your loadout. Versus offers 4v4 PvP on new maps, with Ranked and Social playlists. Movement has been modernised with jumping, vaulting and sliding, and classic weapons return next to new ones built for close-quarters fighting.
