Iconic character in Gears of War series
The Coalition's upcoming prequel Gears of War: E-Day delivers a campaign that balances classic cover-shooter fundamentals with meaningful new systems like weapon mods and Tactical Gear. A hands-on session covering Act 2's bridge and downtown sections left the author more excited for the full release than the initial reveal trailer managed.
Gibson Guitars and The Coalition have revealed a limited-edition collection of four hand-painted custom guitars inspired by Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago from Gears of War: E-Day. The instruments debut publicly at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, with a giveaway offering fans a chance to win three of the unique pieces.
In a sudden shift, Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel set 14 years before the original, will no longer release on PlayStation 5, instead becoming an Xbox console exclusive. The game, arriving on October 6th, will be available day one with Game Pass. This move reflects a changing exclusivity strategy under new Xbox leadership.
