About this game
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 a new nightmare: the Locust Horde. These subterranean monsters, grotesque and relentless, erupt from below, laying siege on humanity itself. Built from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5, Gears of War: E-Day delivers unprecedented graphical fidelity.
Gears of War: E-Day is set on the planet Sera 14 years before the events of the original Gears of War, shortly after the conclusion of the Pendulum Wars. Humanity has entered a fragile period of peace, and many Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) soldiers called Gears are being demobilized. The game takes place in the city of Kalona, a major industrial center once known for innovation and scientific advancement that was transformed by decades of wartime Imulsion production.
