The annual June Xbox Games Showcase has now gone and happened, and it was one of the best events we've seen thus far.
One of the main games showcased was the new Gears of War, and we've got some details pertaining to the story.
Here's what we know.
Gears of War: E-Day - Story Details and More
The Xbox Games Showcase had numerous world premiers, and also revealed some further details on titles coming late this year.
Gears of War: E-Day was the grand finale, and this is going to be a prequel before the events take place in the games we grew up with on the Xbox 360.
Gears of War: E-Day is the next mainline game in the Gears of War universe, set during the pivotal Emergence Day. Fourteen years before Gears of War, war heroes Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago return home to face a new nightmare: the Locust Horde. These subterranean monsters, grotesque and relentless, erupt from below, laying siege on humanity itself.
In the announce trailer for the series’ next major installment, The Coalition has teamed up with Blur Studio to forge a visually stunning trailer using in-game assets in Unreal Engine 5. It features a new instrumental version of ‘Mad World,’ originally performed by Gary Jules for the iconic 2006 commercial, now brilliantly reimagined by the game’s composer Adam Lastiwka.
