About Gears of War: E-Day

Gears of War: E-Day goes back to where it all began — Emergence Day, the moment the Locust horde erupted from beneath the surface of Sera. You play as a younger Marcus Fenix, fighting alongside Dom Santiago through the chaos of the first day of the war. The game returns to the series' signature cover-based combat, with heavy weapons, brutal melee, and the desperate, gritty tone that defined Gears. As a prequel, it is designed both for longtime fans wanting the origin story and newcomers who can jump in fresh. It is a major release for third-person shooter fans.
