Yes, it took us quite a while, but we have completed our video analysis of the Gears of War: E-Day reveal trailer! The additional time allowed us to gather more details and turn this analysis into a comprehensive summary of what we know so far https://t.co/8dhgvHTLQd
'The Art and Soul of Dune' is one of my favorite movie books of all time.
Written by Tanya Lapointe, one of the producers on the film, it captures not just the making of Dune, but the seriousness of the worldbuilding behind it.
So it’s pretty amazing that we’re doing The Art and Making of Gears of War: E-Day with Insight Editions.
Out October 6.

Xbox ‘s The Coalition is showing off here with UE5
I was the product marketing manager for @GearsofWar 2. We did zero focus testing on the ads. The team was locked in together. Total trust in each other and in what we were making. Taste and confidence.
@EG_wicho@Harlequin_x Yes, we're in the minority. Gears lore has enormous potential, but it desperately needs a permanent, clearly defined canon instead of changing every time through retcons. The most important thing is that they show what has changed, rather than letting it happen off-screen.
@EG_wicho@Harlequin_x Another inconsistency is Dom being in Kalona on E-Day. We know he was home with Maria when their children died alongside her parents (as shown in a Gears 2 flashback). I assume this part of the story will be changed.
@EG_wicho@Harlequin_x During E-Day, Bernie was living at her home in the Galangi Islands. After Aspho Fields, she had stepped away from the military, and in the novel she hadn't seen Marcus and the others for many years. She will certainly be mentioned, just like Carlos and Helena Stroud.

I never thought a new Gears could make me this happy after all these years. I hoped the series would return to its brutal, dynamic roots, and today's Direct proved it has. The Coalition nailed it. If the story is as good as what we saw today, this will be a masterpiece. Congrats!
Yes, there's that sweet destruction I was hoping for. The longer glimpse of what the Coalition has been up to is exciting. Super low cover is a nice touch too.
Unbelievably stoked to finally have E-Day get properly shown, so much passion and hard work has been put into making this game.
Working on this game has been a genuine dream come true for me!
Also, was nice to see I got a small cameo in the Direct!
I’m very, very happy with how the Gears Direct came out. Even after 92645 viewings, through many edits and variations, my team and I still feel entertained when we watch it back. We hope you feel the same way!!
This is year is packed with incredible games for XBOX players to enjoy, from Halo: Campaign Evolved, Gears of War: E-Day and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 to Control Resonant, Star Wars: Galactic Racer and Grand Theft Auto VI. In order to plan our game launches through the holidays, in a way that works best for players, we’re moving Fable to February 2027 so it can have the dedicated moment it deserves. We’re excited to be giving players a major new look at Fable, as well as our broader lineup, at XBOX Games Showcase on June 7.
RUMOR | According The Ghost of Hope, Xbox is planing on release 'Gears of War E-Day' in the September window
“They’re not doing September cause Xbox has Gears and other stuff then.”
Over the past period, video production has dropped significantly. I’m aware of it and I apologize. I had many projects in progress and several videos are nearly finished, but these months have been particularly heavy and difficult.
Yesterday morning, on Christmas Day, my father passed away after eight years of fighting cancer. There were better years and worse years, but 2025 marked a dramatic decline in his physical condition. My father was an extraordinary man, and even though I hate sharing details about my private life, I felt the need to honor him here.
2026 will be a year of new beginnings for the Gears of War brand, and I hope to be able to dedicate much more of my time again to GOWSeriesVideos and to you.
We wish you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year, GearsFan.
