Emergence Begins
Experience the horror and brutality of Emergence Day. Fourteen years before the original Gears of War, join Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago in a gripping origin-story campaign as the Locust Horde first erupt from below, igniting a desperate fight for survival. Rally your squad and fight on in multiplayer with a reimagination of Gears’ iconic PvE mode, Horde Siege, or go head-to-head with a refined Versus PvP.* Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, Gears of War: E-Day delivers the most immersive Gears yet.

A TERRIFYING THREAT FROM BELOW
A darker, grittier tone and reimagined enemies restore fear and dread to the series. Atmosphere and detail are pushed further than ever. The world feels more grounded, believable, and dangerous. Familiar enemies are more threatening, joined by all-new creatures and villains that reestablish a true sense of horror.

ICONIC MULTIPLAYER, EVOLVED
Jump into a bigger and bolder PvE battlefield in Horde Siege, an evolved take on Gears’ iconic co-op wave survival mode. Prove yourself in competitive Versus PvP, battling across all-new maps and refined 4v4 modes.

FEELS LIKE GEARS. PLAYS LIKE NEW.
Iconic cover-based combat returns, enhanced with modernized movement and traversal that add freedom and verticality. Fan-favorite weapons return and are reimagined, alongside all new weapons built for brutal, close quarters combat.

ONLINE AND SPLIT-SCREEN CO-OP
Play online with up to four players across Campaign, Horde Siege, and Versus. Team up locally with two-player split-screen on console.
