It took no time for the Gears fans to connect the dots. The iconic duo of Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago are back in the franchise again. Gears of War E-Day will be taking place during Emergence Day, which signals the start of the Locust invasion. We will step back in the shoes of Marcus Fenix and wield the Lancer Assault Rifle once more in a fight to take back the Earth.

No release date has been unveiled yet, but we can expect more announcements coming from Microsoft and Xbox in the future. The sixth mainline game in the Gears of War series will be a prequel to the first game. We will enjoy the exploits of a younger Marcus Fenix before he becomes the legendary soldier and a bane of the Locusts.

The Xbox Games Showcase 2024 might be the best part of this Summer Game Fest yet, with the announcements for major titles like Call of Duty Black Ops 6, STALKER 2, and DOOM: The Dark Ages taking the frontline.
