Emergence Day brings one of the most pivotal moments in the series' history, and Gears of War: E-Day Xbox Series X|S / Windows takes you fourteen years before the events of the original game. Alongside Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, you'll experience the beginning of the Locust invasion, who emerged from underground and plunged the world into chaos and a fight for survival in a single day.
The thrilling campaign in Gears of War: E-Day Xbox Series X|S / Windows reveals the origins of the famous heroes and the conflict itself. During the story, you will journey through the streets of afflicted cities, come face-to-face with a terrifying threat from the depths, and learn about the events that shaped the future of the entire series.
In addition to the story campaign, Gears of War: E-Day Xbox Series X|S / Windows also offers extensive multiplayer modes. You can jump into the fight in co-op or test your skills against others in competitive matches that build on the series' proven foundations while introducing modernised gameplay elements.
CLASSES
The iconic co-operative Horde mode returns in the form of Horde Siege, which expands on the original concept with larger maps, more participants, and more extensive battles.

VERSUS
The competitive side of the series is represented by the return of Versus mode, which brings new maps and revamped fan-favourite 4v4 combat variations.
