Gears of War E-Day is the final surprise of the Xbox Games Showcase: let’s see the trailer with in-game graphics

As a final surprise, Microsoft’s Xbox Games Showcase presented the first trailer for the next chapter of Gears of War. It will be called Gears of War E-Day.

Let’s remember that the previous chapter was simply called “Gears”, while in this case the game took up the “of War”.

The Gears of War E-Day trailer

There official description of Gears of War E-Day explains: “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 implacable, erupt from below and besiege humanity itself. Built from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5, Gears of War: E-Day delivers unprecedented graphical fidelity.”

We also note that the trailer uses the Mad World song in the background, thus recalling a well-known advertisement from the saga.

This is certainly one of the most interesting presentations of the evening, given that the public was probably expecting a new sequel, while with Gears of War E-Day players will be able to return to origins of the saga (actually, even before). We’ll see if this will also lead to a game structure more similar to the first chapters, putting aside the latest innovations.
