Gears of War fans hoping to see a new trailer for the upcoming prequel, Gears of War: E-Day, may have been disappointed that it skipped The Game Awards this year. That may be why the official Gears of War social media accounts have shared a message assuring fans that E-Day is still coming in 2026.
The image shared on the Gears of War X account didn’t share any spoilers and it was just a skull set against some haunting red and black shades. But it did confirm the 2026 release window.
For now, Gears of War: E-Day is only confirmed for Xbox Series X|S and PC. However, it seems very likely to be the second game in the franchise to make the leap to PlayStation 5, given that Gears of War: Reloaded–a remake of the original game–became the first title in the series to appear on a Sony console. Cliff Bleszinski–the co-creator of the franchise–has mentioned that he’s happy that the Gears of War games are no longer exclusive to a single console.
