While chatting, Searcy reflected on what gamers have always loved about theGears of Warfranchise, things such as its dark, horror-like, and scary moments. It’s these aspects that helped the franchise reach the heightsit did back in the golden days of gaming.
We looked back at what people felt like when they played Gears of War or any of the Gears – Gears 4 included. he said. “But when people tell you what they remember playing, the things that stood out to them, the feelings, a lot of it is about these, kind of dark, almost horror-esque, scary moments.”
The development team knows about the series’ main theme and will be making it a major part of theGears of War: E-Day. By putting the Locust as terrifying monsters that come from the underground, the story will give us tension and eventually explain to us how these creatures are a part of something more dangerous.
The Coalitionis making use of Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 5to bring back the horror elements by presenting the Locust as realistic and incredibly horrifying. Even the developers know that things that were scary in 2006 might not hold up today, but they’re hoping to raise the fear factor to stay true to the franchise and fans.
When isGears of War: E-Daycoming out?
It’s great thatGears of War: E-Dayis finally returning to the roots of the franchise. However, gamers can’t help but wonder when they’ll be able to play this incredible title. Unfortunately, it seems like there’s going to be quite a lot of waiting.

Considering the fact the game was initially revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, which featured tons of games we’re going to see in 2025, it’s fair to assume that the title should be released sometime late this year.
However, it’s crucial to take all this information with a grain of salt as Xbox or The Coalition still hasn’t said anything officially. Things can always change, aswe’ve seen with Ubisoft and Assassin’s Creed Shadows.
