During the interview with WindowsCentral, Creative Director Matt Searcy shared insights without directly confirming the multiplayer aspect. He hinted at the game staying true to the core DNA of Gears regarding gameplay modes, implying that fans can expect a familiar multiplayer experience in E-Day.

Expressing a commitment to the storyline continuity of Gears 4 and Gears 5, Brand Director Nicole Fawcette and Creative Director Matt Searcy elaborated on the decision not to immediately announce Gears 6 post Gears 5. The team’s focus remains on the current project, striving to deliver a prequel experience while respecting the narrative foundation laid in the previous installments.

“We’re dedicated to the narrative journey we have embarked upon, and while the future holds possibilities, our immediate attention is on weaving the tales within the franchise,” stated Searcy. Fawcette reinforced this sentiment by emphasizing that the essence of Gears 4 and Gears 5 will not be overlooked, assuring fans of a coherent and engaging storyline in E-Day.

Gears of War: E-Day is anticipated to launch on both Xbox and PC platforms; however, an official release date is yet to be announced, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more details.
