The Story of E-Day

Fight through the chaos of Emergence Day in a gripping origin story campaign.

Battle alone, side by side in two-player split-screen, or rally up to four players online across Campaign, Horde Siege, and Versus.*

Horde Siege PvE – Back and Bigger Than Ever

Survive a city under siege in an evolved take on Gears’ iconic co-op wave survival mode built for larger maps, more players, and bigger battles.

Choose your class - Assault, Marksman, Medic, or Breacher - then drop in as a 4-player squad to fight back the Locust.

Team up with multiple squads to conquer shared objectives and take down world bosses. Survive to earn rewards, unlock customization and improve your loadout for the next match.

Versus Returns – Refined and Focused PvP

Battle across all-new maps and refined fan-favorite 4v4 modes.

Choose your level of competition. Lock in and climb the ranks in Ranked or jump into Social playlists for a more relaxed match.

Modernized controls and movement make combat feel more fluid while retaining Gears’ signature cover-based feel. Jump, vault, slide, and flank with intent.

A Terrifying Threat from Below

A darker, grittier tone and reimagined enemies restore fear and dread to the series.

Atmosphere and detail are pushed further than ever. The world feels more grounded, believable, and dangerous.

Familiar enemies are more threatening, joined by all-new creatures and villains that reestablish a true sense of horror.

Feels Like Gears. Plays Like New.

Iconic cover‑based combat returns, enhanced with modernized movement and traversal that add freedom and verticality.

Fan‑favorite weapons return and are reimagined, alongside all‑new weapons built for brutal, close‑quarters combat.

Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5
