The announcement of Gears of War: E-Day in June 2024 came as a pleasant surprise to many fans of the longstanding franchise, with the project causing a lot of clear anticipation that is only set to grow over the coming months. While fans are still yet to see things like a solid gameplay overview of the project, its core characters have been enough to get players on board, with E-Day crucially putting the likes of Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago back in the franchise hot-seat.
