The Coalition and Microsoft debuted a stunning trailer for E-Day during last week's Xbox Showcase. Yes, it turned out that this trailer wasn't in real-time, but it has many excited nonetheless.

As rumored ahead of the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft ended its big June event with Gears of War: E-Day, the next game from The Coalition. The debut trailer looked fantastic, but since it aired on the show fans have debated whether it was rendered in real time or not. A spokesperson from The Coalition has now clarified to Gamespot that the footage was indeed not in real time. The Gears of War: E-Day trailer was made in collaboration across The Coalition, Blur Studios and GNet developed using in-game models, textures and environments--all captured in Unreal Engine 5. It was not […]
This past weekend, Microsoft delivered the goods with their Xbox Games Showcase, rolling out trailers and announcements for a number of exciting-looking projects. What they didn’t necessarily deliver was a lot of hard release dates or even launch windows – we know some games like Avowed and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle are coming in 2024, and others like Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, and South of Midnight have broad 2025 release windows. Others, like Perfect Dark and Gears of War: E-Day have no release windows attached to them at all. Well, in his latest newsletter (sign up here), […]
According to The Coalition's Matt Searcy, the story of the upcoming Gears of War E-Day will best show the tech that the team has been working on. The announcement of E-Day during the Xbox Showcase last week came as a surprise to many - most of us didn't see a prequel title coming following the events of Gears 5. The trailer that Microsoft and developer The Coalition debuted during the showcase was impressive, to say the least, and it was all in-game as well. Of course, we don't know whether the footage was shown running on PC or Xbox Series, […]

As teased by various rumors, a new Gears was indeed announced at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, but it's actually titled Gears of War: E-Day. The in-engine trailer shows Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago dealing with the Locust menace for the first time ever on Emergency Day. As such, it can be considered a prequel to the previous games. 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. Fourteen years before Gears of War, war heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago return home to face […]
Tomorrow's Xbox Showcase is said to feature 8 world premieres, including the rumored new Gears 6 and DOOM. At least, that's what Spanish leaker 'eXtas1s' (who often writes for outlet Exputer) said on X some hours ago. Although the event will feature more than eight games coming to Xbox (and possibly other platforms as well), the leaker writes to have heard about 8 titles that haven't been officially announced just yet. As mentioned by ''eXtas1s' on X, these titles include both first- and third-party games, and among them are the new Gears from The Coalition and Bethesda's rumored DOOM: The […]
Gears of War has been dormant for a fair while. The last mainline game in Xbox’s much-beloved third-person shooter series was 2019’s Gears 5. Developer The Coalition also put out the strategy game Gears Tactics alongside Splash Damage in 2020, but in t...
The actor behind JD Fenix might have teased upcoming Gears of War news for the scheduled Xbox Showcase this June. After several rumors, Microsoft confirmed its Xbox June showcase via a series of posts on X earlier this year. Additional details about this event haven't been shared just yet, but recent reports and claims from insiders suggest that Gears of War 6 might very well be present at the show. As expressed by renowned insider Shinobi, the game's visuals will blow fans away, and other 'insiders' have since also chimed in on the matter. With 2019's Gears 5 being the […]
Unlike the soon-to-be-released Senua's Saga: Hellblade II, Gears 6, the next entry in the series in the works by The Coalition, is unlikely to run at "cinematic" 30 frames per second on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Speaking on the ResetERA forums, known industry veteran Nate "shinobi602" Najda told one user not to worry about the game running at 30 FPS. While he did not add much more on the matter, this definitely bodes well, considering how the industry veteran has been spot-on numerous times in the past. While Gears 6 has yet to be announced, the anticipation […]
