Gears of War E-Day is a prequel with Marcus Fenix

Get excited?

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”.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
