Selvom Gears of War: E-Day teknisk set dækker begivenheder, der allerede er etableret i universets lore, betyder det ikke, at The Coalition springer vigtige detaljer over eller antager, at vi allerede kender historien. Udvikleren har brugt tid og kræfter på at sikre, at uanset om du er en ny eller gammel Gears-fan, bliver E-Day noget, man husker.
I et interview med GamesRadar+ sagde instruktør Matt Searcy, at E-Day vil føre serien tilbage til dens rødder, især hvad angår de miljøer, man skyder i.
"The story of Emergence Day is really about what happened to the people of Sera. It was a massive, worldwide event, and we wanted players to feel the impact - so we decided to set this game in a single city," forklarede Searcy. "Kalona is a rich environment to tell a great story. You'll get to visit downtown city streets, historical landmarks, military installments, industrial Imulsion refineries, and even forested outskirts. And as a battlefield, the game just plays great in a city! It's the best gameplay playground for an intense cover-based shooter like Gears."
I Kalona, som vil blive udforsket over flere dage og vise byens endelige fald, vil vi se Marcus Fenix og Dominic Santiago udvikle deres evigtvarende forhold. "We think it has the potential to be one of the best stories in the Gears franchise, and certainly the most heart and emotion when you're looking at Marcus, Dom, and the origin of the brotherhood that they forge in this game," teased Searcy.
Vi har endnu ikke en fast udgivelsesdato for Gears of War: E-Day, men spillet forventes at komme ud engang i år.
