The wait for a release date Gears of War: E-Day goes on. However, with the release of the reveal trailer at the 2024 Xbox Summer Showcase, popularity has reignited, with many players returning to the franchise. Details for the game remain vague but we are obviously aware that it is a prequel.
Despite not knowing much about the game, fans of the franchise are eagerly hyping the upcoming game and sharing comments about what they would like to see from the game. At first glance, some people may laugh at one option for an alternative weapon posted on the games’ subreddit.
Gears of War Players Discuss Alternative Weapons.
When you think of Gears of War and weaponry, you would normally think of the immediate hardware of the Lancer Assault Rifle, Gnasher Shotgun, or the old favorite, Hammer of Dawn. Well, one fan had an interesting suggestion of what they would like to see in the upcoming game.
Whilst we don’t know what sort of likelihood there will be of this being implemented into the game, the suggestion is certainly not without merit. When a player is without a notable weapon, why not pick up what’s nearest to you to bludgeon an enemy?
Gears of War: E-Day: Just What Microsoft Needs?
It is well noted that the franchise hasn’t had the same appeal with fans as it did in the Xbox 360 days, but judging by the reaction of people following the 2024 Xbox Summer Showcase, this has just sparked a renewed interest in the much-loved franchise.
Whilst many fans were of the opinion that the next game in the series would be a sixth instalment, (especially given the cliffhanger of the fifth game), there are reasons why having a prequel may be just what the franchise needs.
For many players, the Gears of War franchise holds a special place, and this is no small part of the epic storylines that have accompanied the games. It’s clear that with the current increase in player numbers for previous titles, there is still overwhelming demand for these games, and Microsoft will no doubt reap the reward when the upcoming game finally launches.
