Gears of War E-Day is a prequel starring Marcus Fenix set 14 years before the events of the first Gears of War.
“Experience the brutal horror of Emergence Day through the eyes of Marcus Fenix in the origin story of one of gaming’s most acclaimed sagas,” Microsoft said in a trailer shown at its Xbox Summer Game Fest livestream.
“Fourteen years before Gears of War, war heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago return home to face a new nightmare: the Locust Horde.”
“These subterranean monsters, grotesque and relentless, erupt from below, laying siege on humanity itself,” Microsoft continued.
The title will leverage The Coalition’s work with Unreal Engine 5 to deliver what Microsoft promises as “unprecedented graphical fidelity”.
