- Gears of War: E-Day Campaign Play Test Preview — COGs in A City of Carnage - 25 August 2026
After a solid showing with its multiplayer preview earlier this month, I was eager to check out a vertical slice of Gears of War: E-Day’s campaign , a staple of the series I’ve always been a fan of, just as much as its engaging multiplayer offerings. I was given access to the first two chapters of Act 2 of Gears of War: E-Day , titled Bravo Squad and Hold the Line. Being placed a little further into the campaign offered a good look at what fans can expect when the game launches in October. Marcus and company, unlike in the earlier look shown during the game’s unveiling, are no longer wearing civilian clothes and instead don the iconic COG armour. Much of the opening of Act 2 takes place on a crumbling freeway before leading players into a derelict subway system crawling with Locust that have systematically overwhelmed the city. Graphically, Gears of War: E-Day is easily the best the ser…

- Gears of War: E-Day Multiplayer Play Test Preview — War Has Changed - 30 July 2026
My brief time with Gears of War: E-Day’s Multiplayer Network Test brought me right back to the glory days of Xbox 360, particularly 2006, when 13-year-old me got my hands on the original Gears of War for the first time. Of course, I mean that in the best way possible, as Gears of War: E-Day , even in its early-access state, feels like a true return to form for the series, bringing with it a more fluid and snappier-than-ever bloodsoaked gameplay loop that made the originals so addictive and charming. My two-day stint with Gears of War: E-Day consisted of two maps across two game modes, Horde Siege and Conquest Escalation. Starting with Horde Siege, the game mode is a modernized spin on the tried and tested Horde mode/Firefight that now features some more objective-based sequences in between the waves of Locust infantry. Now, I haven’t seriously played Horde mode since Gears of War 2 , bu…

A newly announced WWE event, sponsored by Gears of War: E-Day, is set for fall 2026 and may finally provide a definitive game release date.
