The Coalition has officially unveiled the next major installment in the Gears of War series, titled Gears of War: E-Day, during the 2024 Xbox Showcase.

This title promises to deliver a fresh yet familiar experience by utilizing advanced technology and innovative gameplay techniques.

Players can look forward to a modernized gaming experience that retains the core elements of the franchise.
