Unlike Gears 5, which experimented with semi-open world areas, E-Day is going to be an entirely linear experience.
The game will boast "over 100 times more environment and character details than Gears 5," according to The Coalition.
The prequel "adds detail and context to this period that will resonate through stories that will follow".
Set fourteen years before the events of the first game, Gears of War: E-Day is described as the franchise's next mainline entry.
