During the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft officially announced the next entry in the Gears series, and it’s going back in time. Gears E-Day, as it’s called, is coming to Xbox and PC in the future. Of all the biggest reveals at the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, this was arguably the biggest, and Xbox saved it for last.
The announcement is good news for fans who wanted to see the series continue, even if it may be going in the opposite direction on the timeline compared to what fans may have expected. The cinematic trailer shows a young Marcus Fenix struggling with a single Locust, something he’s not prone to doing in the later games–but this a greener, less experienced Marcus.
