Emergence Begins

Pre-order Gears of War: E-Day to get early access to the Gears of War: E-Day Open Beta and unlock the Exfil Dom Character Skin and the Exfil Weapon Skin Set in-game at launch.*

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.

The Story of E-Day

Fight through the chaos of Emergence Day in a gripping origin story campaign.

Battle alone, side by side in two-player split-screen, or rally up to four players online across Campaign, Horde Siege, and Versus.*

Horde Siege PvE – Back and Bigger Than Ever

Survive a city under siege in an evolved take on Gears’ iconic co-op wave survival mode built for larger maps, more players, and bigger battles.

Choose your class - Assault, Marksman, Medic, or Breacher - then drop in as a 4-player squad to fight back the Locust.

Team up with multiple squads to conquer shared objectives and take down world bosses. Survive to earn rewards, unlock customization and improve your loadout for the next match.

Versus Returns – Refined and Focused PvP

Battle across all-new maps and refined fan-favorite 4v4 modes.

Choose your level of competition. Lock in and climb the ranks in Ranked or jump into Social playlists for a more relaxed match.

Modernized controls and movement make combat feel more fluid while retaining Gears’ signature cover-based feel. Jump, vault, slide, and flank with intent.

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.

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.

Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5

A new technical foundation for Gears. Built for modern performance with 4K resolution and up to 60FPS across Campaign and Multiplayer.*
