Gears 5 players are receiving an in-game message promoting the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel focusing on the origins of the Locust Horde. This announcement, appearing almost five years after Gears 5's release, reignites excitement for the franchise.
The "Emergence Begins" message within Gears 5 offers a brief recap of E-Day's premise, highlighting the return of Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago as they confront the initial Locust invasion. It also emphasizes the game's development using Unreal Engine 5, promising exceptional visual quality.
While the original reveal trailer lacked a release date, speculation points towards a potential 2025 launch, fueled by this in-game reminder. This timing, however, presents a scheduling challenge given other major Xbox titles slated for 2025, including Doom: The Dark Ages, Fable, and South of Midnight.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the precise release window, the message serves as a potent reminder and generates considerable anticipation for Gears of War: E-Day, promising a darker, more horror-focused experience that returns to the series' roots. The in-game promotion, while seemingly a simple update, effectively keeps the upcoming title at the forefront of fans' minds. The return of Marcus and Dom, facing the terrifying initial onslaught of the Locust, is a prospect that has long-time fans eagerly awaiting the game's release.
