The year 2025 is shaping up to be a huge year for gamers, with a slew of highly anticipated games set to be released. Alongside the much-anticipated GTA 6, players can look forward to titles like Fable 4, Doom: The Dark Ages, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A. And now, it seems that Gears of War: E-Day may also be joining the lineup.
Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled at the recent Xbox Games Showcase as a prequel set 14 years before the events of the original Gears of War game. The game will feature younger versions of iconic characters like Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, offering players a glimpse into their past. Set during Emergence Day, the prequel will span multiple days, allowing players to experience the events leading up to the city’s fall.
While no official release date was provided during the reveal trailer, a new report from The Verge suggests that Gears of War: E-Day could potentially launch in 2025. According to Tom Warren, the game was initially slated for a 2025 release, preceding the arrival of Fable 4. Although Fable 4’s release window has not been confirmed beyond 2025, sources indicate that the RPG is aiming for a launch sometime between October and December next year.
It’s important to note that these release plans are subject to change, and there is a possibility that they have already been altered. With so many exciting games on the horizon, players may find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer number of titles set to debut in 2025. It might be a good idea to start clearing out your backlog now to make room for these upcoming releases.
