Will Gears of War: E-Day have multiplayer? What about Gears 6? The Coalition gives us some hints at the future.

Emergence Day is a pivotal moment in the Gears of War universe, marking the first brutal invasion of the Locust in the world of Sera6. Gears of War: E-Day is an origin story that depicts this event through the eyes of Marcus Fenix1. The game aims to explore the origins of the Chainsaw Lancer and other iconic elements while providing a look at the younger Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago and the beginnings of their legendary bond.

Gears of War: E-Day is set 14 years before the original Gears of War game and tells the story of the first Locust emergence on Sera2. As the game unfolds, players will see how an ill-prepared world responds to a threat like the Locust2. The Coalition is being very intentional in recasting the Locust not simply as foes but as living nightmares, tapping into primal fears to provide a fresh yet familiar threat2.

The game will feature intense third-person action and emotional storytelling, with developers at The Coalition building this origin story from the ground up using Unreal Engine 5. Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled during the Xbox Games Showcase, with an explosive trailer taking fans back to the origins of the franchise5.

Gears of War: E-Day is expected to include multiplayer features, as previous installments in the series have had competitive multiplayer modes. The developers have emphasized that this is the next mainline Gears game, and the franchise has a clear DNA for gameplay modes. While specific details about multiplayer features have not been revealed, players can anticipate that Gears of War: E-Day will likely offer a similar multiplayer experience as previous installments, with possible new additions and changes to keep the gameplay fresh3.
