The Story of E-Day

Fight your way through the chaos of Emergence Day in a gripping campaign that tells the origin story.

Fight solo or side by side with two-player split-screen, or rally up to four players online in Campaign, Horde Assault, and Versus modes*.

PvE Horde Assault: It's back and it's never been bigger

Survive in a besieged city in an evolved version of the iconic wave-based co-op survival mode created for larger maps, more players, and bigger battles.

Choose your class from Assault, Sniper, Medic, or Incursor and charge into combat with your 4-player squad to take on the Locust.

Ally with multiple squads to conquer common objectives and defeat world bosses. Survive to earn rewards, unlock customizations, and upgrade your equipment for the next battle.

The return of Versus mode: refined and focused PvP

Fight on completely new maps and in refined 4v4 modes favored by fans.

Choose your level of competition. Give it your all and climb the rankings in Ranked mode or choose Social playlists for a more relaxed battle.

Modernized controls and movement make combat smoother while maintaining the importance of cover typical of Gears. Jump, cover, slide, and flank with intention.

A terrifying threat from the depths

A darker and rawer tone and reimagined enemies bring fear and dread back to the series.

The atmosphere and details have never been pushed this far. The world feels more real, believable, and dangerous.

Familiar enemies are more menacing and are accompanied by new creatures and villains that bring back an authentic sense of horror.

It's just like Gears. But it's a brand-new game.

The iconic cover-based combat returns, improved with modernized movement and traversal modes that add freedom and verticality.

Fan-favorite weapons return, reimagined, alongside new weapons designed for brutal close-quarters combat.

Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5

A new technical foundation for Gears. Developed to deliver modern performance with 4K resolution and up to 60 fps in Campaign and Multiplayer*.
