Gears Of War: E-Day Is Shaping Up To Be Exactly The Comeback Gears Needed

Gears Of War: E-Day Is Shaping Up To Be Exactly The Comeback Gears Needed https://ift.tt/SPqnvOa Gears of War started out as an Epic Games-developed title, but the franchise has been in the experienced hands of The Coalition for over a decade. With Gears of War: E-Day dropping in October, the studio is aiming to bring the franchise back with a bang after a lengthy hiatus. We recently went hands-on with the game--you can check out the video preview below--and our immediate takeaway was that The Coalition hasn't skipped a beat as it still knows how to put together a Gears game that looks and feels great. Set during the cataclysmic events of Emergence Day, Gears of War: E-Day tells the story of humanity's first encounter with the Locust.
