Gears of War: E-Day is reportedly targeting a 2025 release, just in case next year wasn't already stacked with games

Gears of War: E-Day wasannounced during the recent Xbox Games Showcase, and is a prequel set 14 years before the events of the first Gears of War, starring younger versions of both Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago (yes, he’s really back). As the name suggests, the prequel is set during Emergence Day, but it’s not just for those titular 24 hours, asit takes place over “multiple days"in order to set things up and then be with the characters “every minute, through the days that play out of the city.” During the reveal trailer, it wasn’t given a release window, but in anew report, The Verge’s Tom Warren claims it could be next year.
It’s worth keeping in mind that these plans could change in the meantime – in fact, there’s a chance they already have. However, if it’s to be believed, it sounds like it’s going to be difficult to keep up with all the games launching next year – you might want to tidy your backlog up now while you still can.
