Studio Creative Director at The Coalition
The Coalition revealed new details about Gears of War: E-Day during the Official Xbox Podcast at gamescom, discussing the game's focus on brotherhood, the new antagonist Vraahk, and how the campaign explores the first two days of the Locust invasion in the city of Kalona. Creative Director Matt Searcy and Campaign Design Director Raul Figueroa explained how the prequel setting allows players to witness the world before its destruction, making the loss more poignant.
Gears of War: E-Day, set for release on October 6th for Xbox Series X/S and PC, has sparked debate over its exclusivity. Despite a PEGI rating for a PS5 version and a since-removed video featuring the PS5 logo, developers The Coalition insist the game was never officially bound for PlayStation 5. The team stands by Xbox exclusivity, citing strategic alignment and confidence in their audience.
