Gears 5 players are getting a sneak peek at the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day! A new in-game message, "Emergence Begins," serves as a reminder of the prequel's premise: the terrifying beginning of the Locust invasion, experienced through the eyes of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago.
The message, appearing upon game launch, highlights the game's return to the series' horror roots and its stunning Unreal Engine 5 visuals. While a release date hasn't been officially announced, the message's timing suggests a possible 2025 launch, although this would mean fitting it into a busy Xbox release schedule already featuring Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, and South of Midnight.
Regardless of whether it arrives in 2025 or 2026, Gears of War: E-Day has already generated significant excitement among fans eager to revisit the series' origins and darker tone. The in-game message serves as a potent reminder of the highly anticipated prequel and its promise of a thrilling, horror-infused experience.
