While Gears of War: E-Day has no official date of release, fans continue to speculate and discuss what they would like to see in the upcoming game. A 2025 release has been confirmed and for many fans, it just can’t come quick enough.
No doubt for many who tuned into the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, there was an expectation that there would be a reveal for the 6th entry for the series. However, many fans are actually delighted by the prospect of a prequel and what this can add to series as a whole.
Gears of War: E-Day – Horde Mode Hopes Discussed
As you would expect with such a popular franchise, there is a huge amount of discussion on various forums amongst fans about what should and shouldn’t be featured in the upcoming game. It was noted that some fans have requested one thing to be added that didn’t feature in the last game from 2019.

This comment appears to be the feeling amongst many fans who are hopeful that this feedback will be taken on board and that a more brutal experience may be seen with Gears of War: E-Day.
The Horde mode was first introduced in the second game in the series and features an arcade style combat in which players battle waves of enemies. As expected, the difficulty increases with each wave and it has been noted on some forums that players can face over 900 enemies during this mode.
What Do We Know About The Upcoming Game?
We have confirmation that the game is due for release in 2025 and the reveal trailer gave many fans a renewed love of the franchise. Despite this, very little is known about the game other than its a prequel set before the beginning of the Locust War.
However, for many fans this may be a case of re-opening old wounds after losing Dom in Gears of War 3. Knowing what happens to him in the future may just be too much to handle for many who experienced the heart wrenching moment previously.
It’s clear that Gears fans have high expectations in relation to the upcoming game and after the poorly received fourth and fifth games, there is hope that the prequel will restore pride to the franchise.
Whilst there is no confirmed date for release, 2025 can’t come quick enough for some fans.
