Det lader til at mange finder det forfriskende at Microsoft og The Coalition tager helt tilbage til E-Day via det kommende Gears of War: E-Day. Men de har fortsat en uafsluttet fortælling i den helt anden ende af kronologien, og den er de ikke færdige med.
I et indlæg på Xbox Wire insisterer begge parter på at dette "isn't the end of other ongoing stories in the Gears series."
"The team is content with the stories told in Gears 4 and Gears 5 and is by no means abandoning them, but the collective passion for such an iconic origin story was simply too great to ignore. The story of E-Day and the origins of Marcus and Dom are such powerful, pivotal events that The Coalition couldn't wait to tell it."
Altså kan vi godt regne med et "Gears 6" en dag, men noget tyder på at ventetiden bliver meget, meget lang.
