Gears of War: E-Day received 89 points on Metacritic - the press praises the action, but criticizes the plot
Gears of War: E-Day is a prequel set on the day it all began: Emergence Day, fourteen years before the events of the original game. There are two days left before the release, and the press has already rendered a verdict: on Metacritic the shooter has 89 points on the Xbox Series, on OpenCritic the average score remains at 87–88 points, and recommendations are given by approximately 90% of critics.
What is praised and what is criticized
Reviewers unanimously praise the polished shooting, recognizable cover mechanics and visual level: the destructible scenery and lighting of the destroyed planet Sera look like one of the strongest demonstrations of the current generation. A special compliment is the atmosphere of that same Emergence Day: the game finally shows the fall of Sera as it has been told about it for years in the lore of the series.
The main reason for complaints is the plot. A number of publications write that the campaign is unlikely to be remembered and serves only as a pretext for shootings. Some editors refused to give a final rating at all, citing network problems or the volume of content.
When does it come out?
Gears of War: E-Day is scheduled for release on October 6, 2026 . The game will be released on Xbox Series X|S and PC - on Steam and Microsoft Store, and will be available to Game Pass subscribers from day one. Based on all estimates, this is the most highly rated part of the series since the third Gears of War.
