Xbox and Windows players will soon venture to the earliest period of Gears of War’s central conflict with the upcoming release of Gears of War: E-Day. The series’ sixth main installment and prequel to Gears of War 1, Gears of War: E-Day is set 14 years before the events of Gears of War 1 and 42 years before Gears 5 at the beginning of the Locust War. Here, gamers will once again play as Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago as they witness the catastrophic horrors of the Locust Horde for the very first time. While most common Locust troops will likely appear in Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition could still introduce new Locust types into the game to shock new and returning series fans.
