The Coalition has announced that People Can Fly, who worked on Gears of War: Judgment, has returned for Gears of War: E-Day. The studio will serve as a co-development partner like with the original trilogy.

People Can Fly CEO Sebastian Wojciechowski stated on the company’s website, “Returning to collaborate on the next chapter of this legendary saga is both a privilege and an exciting opportunity to build upon the intense, visceral action and rich storytelling that fans have come to love. We are deeply grateful for our partners’ trust and support on this journey.”

Development director Guillaume Barry also noted that the team, consisting of “dedicated Gears of War fans,” is “pouring everything we have into creating an experience that will exceed expectations. While we can’t share more just yet, we’re eager for the day when we can show all the exciting things we’ve been working on.”

Mike Crump, studio head at The Coalition, added, “Gears of War: E-Day is not just our next major game; it’s a return to what makes Gears of War games special and authentic. We’re pleased to be partnering with the talented folks at People Can Fly who have been a part of our franchise’s legacy for so long.”

As a prequel, the story focuses on Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago after Emergence Day occurs. As COG soldiers, they must battle against the Locusts and attempt to protect Sera. It takes place 14 years before the first game, though The Coalition confirmed its the next mainline title and not a spinoff.

Players will explore a new location, the City of Kalona, across a linear campaign spanning multiple days, with a more horrifying atmosphere akin to the original. Of course, fans can also look forward to multiplayer, while Unreal Engine 5 offers ray tracing, improved animations, and extensive destruction.

Gears of War: E-Day is coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC, with rumors claiming it could launch this Fall. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.
