Publisher of Gears of War: E-Day
In the wake of Microsoft's recent layoffs, the company has confirmed that several unannounced Xbox games are among the casualties. These undisclosed titles will not see the light of day as a result of the restructuring. The move underscores the broader impact of the layoffs on Xbox's future portfolio.
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.
