The biggest drought in series history is finally ending when Gears of War: E-Day launches later this year, and developer The Coalition is making up for the seven-year gap between new games with the franchise's longest campaign so far.
After Gears 5 fizzled out with an excruciatingly tense cliffhanger in 2019, the franchise somewhat slipped into the shadows. We got a surprisingly great strategy spin-off in Gears Tactics, a beefy expansion in Hivebusters, and a so-so remaster of the very first game, sure, but little did we know that a new mainline entry wouldn't come for years.
