The Coalition anticipates one of the most terrifying games in the franchise, promising that this prequel will bring back all the horror and fear that the first three titles of this saga delivered. Gears of War: E-Day will be a prequel that showcases, for the first time, the rise of the Locust and how they invaded humanity in the most unexpected way possible.
On platforms like Reddit, discussions about what this game should include are emerging every day, and now players want certain types of cinematics focused on horror, as the previous games did.
Gears of War: E-Day Will Have to Fully Commit to Horror, According to Fans
Since its announcement, this game has continuously generated excitement among fans who expect one of the best entries in the franchise with this prequel.
The studio intends to return to its roots and demonstrate the Locust threat like never before. In the midst of a human war, these creatures will emerge from the ground to destroy everything, and the soldiers will have to adapt to face this unstoppable threat. Gears of War: E-Day has unlimited potential.
The studio has confirmed that horror will dominate the story, which fans are thrilled about. The community is excited about the franchise’s return to horror and has pitched many ideas to the studio.
This cutscene was pure nightmare fuel as a kid. I could barely watch it and it gave me the same scare factor as seeing the World at War Zombies for the first time. Feels underwhelming in Ultimate Edition. Where the new corpse model is cool, its not as intense and there is like 90% less blood.

At the time, the first trilogy of games featured cinematics that delved much deeper into the terror that the Locust, along with all their variants and different types of creatures, instilled. These enemies had no problem with obliterating humans.
The Coalition Offers a Fresh Perspective on This Franchise
These cinematics focused heavily on the terror of some creatures belonging to the Locust race and even showed the Lambent and the emergence of this terrifying variation that threatened to destroy everything.
The studio can emphasize this even more by utilizing the full graphic potential of the Unreal Engine 5, and Gears of War: E-Day’s potential to introduce these enemies for the first time will allow players to feel the terror firsthand.
Fans are very enthusiastic, and the first trailer already made it clear that the Locust will be more imposing than ever and will have no qualms about attacking head-on.
The studio has already anticipated that there will be much more gore than any other entry in the franchise, making the violence more real than ever. The development team has hinted in various interviews that humanity was unprepared for this confrontation, a theme that will be evident throughout the game.
For now, there is no confirmed release date for this title, but it is anticipated that Xbox will launch it sometime in 2025. Gears of War: E-Day will once again feature Marcus Fenix as the protagonist, accompanied by his loyal friend Dominic Santiago.
This title will show how they met and how their relationship grew as soldiers. The franchise will introduce a variety of new weapons and equipment. This could be one of the best games in the IP.
