Gears 5 players are receiving an in-game message teasing the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel focusing on Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago during the initial Locust Horde invasion.
The message, titled "Emergence Begins," serves as a reminder of the game's premise and key plot points, highlighting its Unreal Engine 5 development and promising superior visuals. While a release date remains unconfirmed, the early appearance of this in-game promotion suggests a potential 2025 launch, although this would place it alongside other significant Xbox titles slated for that year.
The game's reveal trailer lacked a release window, leading to speculation of a 2026 release. However, this in-game announcement, along with circulating rumors, suggests a possible 2025 launch. This would create a crowded release schedule for Xbox, but regardless of the final release year (2025 or 2026), fans eagerly anticipate a return to the series' darker, horror-focused origins.
