Scratch one grub! Xbox recently announced the next title in the Gears of War series, Gears of War: E-Day. The upcoming prequel, which is being described as this series' Halo: Reach or Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, is coming in the near future, which means now is the perfect time to play through Gears of War games in order.
The Gears of War series takes place in an alternate universe, on the planet Sera, which is Earth-like, but has a few distinct qualities. After the 79-year-long Pendulum Wars between the COG and UIR human factions, which were fought over the control of Imulsion (a very valuable resource for energy and tech advancements), the Locust Horde emerged from Sera's underground and wiped out one quarter of the planet's human population. The games tell the story of what happened after Emergence Day, though E-Day will, as its title suggests, throw us right into the moment that changed everything on Sera.
