Gears of War: E-Day is a 2026 third-person shooter video game developed by The Coalition and People Can Fly and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the seventh main installment in the Gears of War series. Set fourteen years before the events of the first game, it takes place during Emergence Day, when the Locust Horde first emerged from beneath the planet Sera and launched a devastating surprise attack against humanity. The story follows young COG veterans Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago as they fight to survive the invasion in the city of Kalona alongside fellow soldiers Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes, forming Bravo Squad amid the collapse of civilization. The narrative explores the origins of Marcus and Dom's brotherhood while depicting the fall of Kalona and humanity's first encounters with the Locust Horde.
