Gears of War: E-Day will tell about the first days of the Locust invasion

Gears of War Creative Director Matt Searcy confirmed to Game Radar that the upcoming prequel to the series will cover the first few days of the Locust invasion — the game will not be limited to showing only the titular Emergence Day.

Searcy also noted that Gears of War: E-Day will be centered around characters, their experiences and emotions. According to him, the prequel will be more linear than other games in the series: this may probably mean that there will be a minimum of forks in the levels in E-Day (or none at all).

Gears of War: E-Day is being developed for PC and Xbox Series X|S. The release date of the shooter is still unknown, but according to journalist Tom Henderson, the project is going to be released in 2025.
