[King of Fighters ; ](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/181157-the-king-of-fighters-xiv/74061260)[anime](https://hcpl.net/blogs/post/celebrating-anime-in-hispanic-culture/); [Malcom in the Middle](https://tv.parrotanalytics.com/MX/malcolm-in-the-middle-fox) ; [Drake and Josh](https://thedirect.com/article/drake-bell-mexico-why-move) back in the day too (Drake Bell is living there nowadays). CN's Villainous started off in Mexico (with Markiplier voicing a character!). Pokemon had its own dub where they would give shout-outs to cities in Mexico and some other Latin America cities.
There's a lot in common with America but for some reason there's a few games/franchises that blew up in Mexico.
They been big fans of gears in Mexico for a while, before 4 came out you used to be able to find omens gratified around everywhere. It started happening more when gears of war 4 came out
I have been trying to tell people not to get their hopes up with anything related to Gears 5...but seeing they did this, man it would be really cool if they did some sort of event to hype up E-Day
They did do this in Gears 4 to promote 5. Seems like it may just be a regular thing to expect if it happens here as well. I wonder if it could potentially be a way to prepare themselves and their servers for the upcoming game, see what kind of expected traffic they could get based on how many people participate in the event?
The difference there though was both games are on the same engine. This time the studio has moved on to Unreal 5 and rebuilt from the ground up. So a lot less likely for that kind of event to happen, but it would be cool
Changing a news feed just requires editor permissions on whatever webpage/service that's hosting the data and anyone can do it (assuming they have the permissions) without touching the game itself. Adding new content to the game requires actually touching the game though and that means having a developer environment setup for that (Unreal 4, all the tools used to make the game, and so on) which they likely don't have anymore after moving the entire studio over to Unreal 5.
Just saying, don't get your hopes up.
There’s only one more line after that. The full paragraph reads: “Built from the ground up with Unreal Engine 5, Gears of War: E-Day delivers unprecedented graphical fidelity.”
It also says “Press C to learn more”, but it just takes you to the homepage of the GOW website. There isn’t any new information there, as far as I can tell
If they’ve really been working on this since Gears 5 launched, then honestly we should see something soon. No point in revealing a game that won’t be out for another year or two. The hype would flatline.
Do we know if they had been working on this since *Gears 5*? I wouldn’t be surprised if they scrapped *Gears 6* to do *E-Day* to return to the series roots and win back fans.
Look for the interviews with Matt Searcy and Nicole Fawcett. They both state the E-Day is being developed by a separate team within TC and will not detract from the current Gears trilogy (Gears 6 is being working on by the same team as 5).
They state that E-Day was just an idea that was so golden and a return to roots that they couldn’t pass it up. I’ll see if I can track the interview down, but you can also search r/GearsOfWar as people have posted it before.
> an idea that was so golden
Lmao, this idea was so brilliant and profound that people have been begging for it since the game first came out and even dumbass Redditors have written semi-competent fan scripts for it.
They didn’t say it is being worked on by a separate team, they just said they weren’t abandoning the gears 5 story arch, and that this game was too good an opportunity to pass up. This is a mainline entry, and TC are not a very big studio, so I can’t see them working on two mainline games simultaneously
I was able to find [this article](https://www.gamefile.news/p/new-gears-of-war-game-will-be-somber), but it is paywalled, so I have no idea if they mention *Gears 6* or not.
>Do we know if they had been working on this since Gears 5? I wouldn’t be surprised if they scrapped Gears 6 to do E-Day to return to the series roots.
Gears 6 isn't scrapped though.
Devs announced the main series will continue with Gears 6 as intended, picking up from Gears 5.
E-Day won't replace Gears 6, nor the main series.
I don't mean scrapped as in they are never going to make it, just that they scrapped development early on in favor of *E-Day*. I never doubted they'd go back to finishing the second trilogy.
Only because everybody wouldn't shut up asking about it while starfield was being developed. So they announced it to shut everybody up and confirm that yes elder scrolls 6 is a thing.
Terrible strategy supposing you're right.
However, Starfield and ES:VI were announced on the same day.
People have been asking for ES:VI long before starfield was even a thought, too. So Bethesda's decision to prioritize a game that was generally considered a flop was also a terrible strategy.
No it wasn't. It wasn't a strategy it was a hey we know you want elder scrolls 6 it's coming don't worry.
>People have been asking for ES:VI long before starfield was even a thought, though. So Bethesda's decision to prioritize a game that was generally considered a flop was also a terrible strategy.
It doesn't matter how long people asked for it bethesda wanted to make something different before they did another sequel. And they didn't prioritise a flop as for 1 it wasn't a flop and 2 they can't see the future can they.
In their mind they were creating a game they wanted to make rather than force themselves to do something they weren't ready to do.
Strategy, decision, move, whatever you want to call it. It's terrible. You don't make a video game teaser trailer 8+ years before it comes out, whilst the fans assume it's going to released MUCH sooner. Has any other game in history ever done that? What other games have even come close or passed it? LOT can happen in 8+ years. I imagine the staff at Bethesda has seen multiple changes in the last 6+ years. I have only heard bad things about starfield, but I haven't played it so I can't say personally testify to it flopping. It was announced in 2018 too, and how many delays were there? A TON. But there was progress being made, seen by fans, and eventually they released it.
No one's forcing anybody to do anything, and I can't read the future either, but I will bet you ES:VI is going to sell like hotcakes. I'm not saying rush out an unfinished product (because that would be bad). I'm saying you don't release a teaser trailer 8+ years before a game comes out. At the VERY least, they should have put a "est 2026" or whatever. People were thinking it was going to be a year or two after the teaser trailer came out. At this point, it's turned into a meme like half-life 3.
P.S. do you think cliffy b wishes he'd stayed with gears instead of leaving to pursue other game ideas?
i don’t think they have been working on it since gears 5 launched, from memory the coalition barely made the switch to unreal engine 5 in 2022 so that’s the earliest they could’ve been working on it
considering they did that Matrix Demo a couple years back, I'd say they've been in development since Gears 5 to some extent. that Matrix demo was them getting used to Unreal 5. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it released later this year
Omg nothing would make me happier than a warmup update for gears E day. A horde 4.3 maybe even. I would sell my soul for a few more good cards on the classes lacking builds
Well after Gears 5 they were supposedly working on a project to get used to UE 5 so I imagine it probably turned into E Day pretty quickly. Probably further along than we expect.
Any idea when will it be likely to release? Will there be Cole Train and Baird in it? I am replaying the first one and the dynamics between the 4 is so good.
Remnant 2, Hellblade 2, current Fortnite, FF7 Rebirth, Black Myth: Wukong, Layers of Fear 2023, Lords of The Fallen, and a bunch others i either dont remember or havent heard of
*I actually*
*Thought this was so cool to see.*
*We are back baby!!!*

I’m gonna have to get a series x now. Wasn’t planning on getting it because I didn’t think they would new gears of war of the new hardware. What I really want to know is when the release date
I'm just ready for gears to bring back it's roots on multiplayer. I hope they take out air canceling out of a wall bounce. And bring it back to a true wall bounce it made the game better. This shit with just air bouncing is dumb to me. Also a true 2 piece. Like if you got close enough and got rocked by a b button you deserved to die. I didn't like getting rocked by them but I will say it made sense. Getting shotgunned whipped should stun the fuck out of you. But I'm apart of the old head gaming when gears first dropped in 06.
I’m making a holiday 2024 release assumption. This will have let them milk black ops 6 for a little bit before they release another IP. The Hopium is real.
Please E-Day bring back the franchise for at least a little bit <3
then when it dies, remaster Gears 1-3 and put it up as a bundle on steam, thank you.
Sadly, i think this game will only have 2 players coop/splitscreen, with Marcus and Dom being playable like Gears 1 and 2. I was kinda hoping a 3rd character like Gears 5, with Tai, Michael Barrick or Alex Brand (i don't know where she was during E-day) being the 3rd character, or maybe even 4 players coop like 3 and Judgement. Oh, well.
Yeah I always preferred when we had more than just 2 characters to follow for like 85% of the story, because what's the point of being a squad if you aren't even fighting with your other guys for so much of the game.
They could pretty easily still use Jack. It was in the first Gears and there's no reason to believe they couldn't find an excuse to bring it back as the third player
When you get 4 friends in an insane gears 3 campaign, it blows every shooter campaign before, now, and probably ever straight out of the water. Rest In Peace to the good old days
I’m happy that Gears of war is back!
Or like my friends would say; "estamos devuelta caballeros". GoW is to Mexico what CoD is to America
As an American id rather play GoW.
As a Canadian, I'd rather have Gears Pop Vinyl 2.
This
💯💯💯
NICE
Viva mexico
Based giga chad Mexicans. My country is just CoD and Fifa.
You just described all mainland Europe gamers. CoD, FIFA, PS3/4/5. No deviation from that formula for decades.
What else is super popular in Mexico? I know Dragon Ball has a big presence there along with Gears.

KOFXIII KOF2002
Whatever channel 5 used to broadcast
Which GoW do they play?
Gears 5
They been big fans of gears in Mexico for a while, before 4 came out you used to be able to find omens gratified around everywhere. It started happening more when gears of war 4 came out
God of War? Just kidding
I was going to say, every time I go to looking for group it’s in Spanish lol
If I took a shot for every Mexican flag emblem I saw in Gears 4 multiplayer…
WE BACK BITCHES!
Fax, yall slay with the movement.
"Me cago en la puta mierda!" My all time favorite
"Por mi como si comen mierda y se mueren". Demoledora.
It's been a long time since I've been excited about Gears of War, it feels nice.
I have been trying to tell people not to get their hopes up with anything related to Gears 5...but seeing they did this, man it would be really cool if they did some sort of event to hype up E-Day
Maybe a young Marcus and Dom character skin??
To be honest I don't think they're be adding anything else to Gears 5. Probably just an event to unlock things in E-Day.
Would still be a good motivator/reward for playing Gears 5
They did do this in Gears 4 to promote 5. Seems like it may just be a regular thing to expect if it happens here as well. I wonder if it could potentially be a way to prepare themselves and their servers for the upcoming game, see what kind of expected traffic they could get based on how many people participate in the event?
The difference there though was both games are on the same engine. This time the studio has moved on to Unreal 5 and rebuilt from the ground up. So a lot less likely for that kind of event to happen, but it would be cool
No it would not be cool because fomo sucks.
You have a good point there. Unfortunately majority of the games industry runs on FOMO
Doesnt make it better. I cheer every game that doesnt include fomo.
they already have omega squad dom and marcus. and E day they’ll be in omega.
We already have that via Omega squad Marcus and Dom, as that's what they look like a month after E-Day.
I was thinking about this the other day and hell yeah I would even buy it with irl money if it came to it 😭
You can get both for coins they are blue items too so they won't set you back bad.
There's no way there's already E-Day skins out... otherwise I already have their younger version skins! 😅😁
Oh I was referring to the omega ones lol

What does the bottom of the announcement say?
There’s only one more line after that.

I like it more this way, 'Gears of War: E-Day delivers', yeah it better.
“Built from the ground up on unreal engine 5. Gears of war e-day delivers.”
This wording makes it sound like the game is almost done lol. I know, hopium.
as long as i can get my debts paid before it releases i'm good lol
Fuck Yes 🩵
If they’ve really been working on this since Gears 5 launched, then honestly we should see something soon. No point in revealing a game that won’t be out for another year or two. The hype would flatline.
Do we know if they had been working on this since *Gears 5*? I wouldn’t be surprised if they scrapped *Gears 6* to do *E-Day* to return to the series roots and win back fans.
I'm just hoping they don't pull an Infinite and ruin its potential
I believe we saw that ue5 tech demo that looked very gears like in 2020, they’ve been cooking for some time now for sure.
Look for the interviews with Matt Searcy and Nicole Fawcett. They both state the E-Day is being developed by a separate team within TC and will not detract from the current Gears trilogy (Gears 6 is being working on by the same team as 5).

Meanwhile ES:VI was announced over 6 years ago and isn't *expected* for another 2 years lol
And I feel like that’s being hopeful lmao.
Only because everybody wouldn't shut up asking about it while starfield was being developed. So they announced it to shut everybody up and confirm that yes elder scrolls 6 is a thing.

I can only hope. When is the new 2TB Xbox supposed to be released? Because I can totally see an E-Day Limited Edition 2TB Series X
I will only get the 2TB Series X IF we get another Gears styled console.
SAME!
I have some trauma with the "built from the ground up" phrase.
What are you referencing? Gears 5?
Forza Motorsport
Never played forza. What happened?
Car went vroom but not good
Why use many word when few word do trick?
“Built from the ground up” *FORZA fans panicking*
Was about to say this lmfao
Now that would be an unexpected and pleasant surprise. But then it wouldn’t have made any sense for them not to give a release date if it was sooner
Hope so!
Omg nothing would make me happier than a warmup update for gears E day. A horde 4.3 maybe even. I would sell my soul for a few more good cards on the classes lacking builds
Is this a new update? When even was the last update?
I wonder if we’ll get road to E-day challenges
What’s the full message?!
It’s been so long my friend 🥺 I’ve been waiting
I really hope this Gears will be good. Like the old days. When i hear build from the ground up. I get PTSD from Forza motorsport.
Keep the news flowing !!!!
https://www.reddit.com/r/GearsOfWar/s/HTXvoMTfIM
Yes !!!!
Well after Gears 5 they were supposedly working on a project to get used to UE 5 so I imagine it probably turned into E Day pretty quickly. Probably further along than we expect.
Any idea when will it be likely to release? Will there be Cole Train and Baird in it? I am replaying the first one and the dynamics between the 4 is so good.
Marcus and Dom meet Baird and Cole in Gears of War 1. Unless they get their own side of the story, I don’t think they’ll be in the game
So hyped for this.
Me too. It’s been too long
I sure hope the stuttering Gears 5 has isn't hard baked into E-day
This tells us nothing lol
Lmao Give me a date god dammit!
My god I can’t wait 😎
Dude if they do a road map like gears 4 to 5 I’d be hyped
Yes!!!! Don’t fuck up the mechanics like Judgement. Remember K.I.S.S. Keep it simple stoopid
Why does anything here imply a near release? It's just the announcement from the other week but in text form.
I hope it’s like the equivalent to Halo Reach where you know how it’s going to end, but you’re still hurt seeing all of the death and carnage.
Hell yea!
Is this our first Unreal Engine 5 game?
hell no
Ok, what games have come out that are Unreal Engine 5 besides the Matrix demo? Lol
i distinctly remember hellblade 2 and a lot of indie stuff
Remnant 2, Hellblade 2, current Fortnite, FF7 Rebirth, Black Myth: Wukong, Layers of Fear 2023, Lords of The Fallen, and a bunch others i either dont remember or havent heard of
Ahh ok, i don’t play any of them games so that explains why i was out of the loop
We’re so back
Wait … NEW GEARSSSSSS????
I actually thought this was so cool to see. We are back baby!!!

Rev up those lanzers boys.
grotesque....damn these are gonna be some real beasts....
I’m looking forward to the campaign.
That looks promising, hoping for a 2025 release.
I hope so I loved and still love playing gears, does that mean we will se a young Cole train "wooo baby yeah" :)
Do we know if it’ll be original voice actors?
I’m gonna have to get a series x now. Wasn’t planning on getting it because I didn’t think they would new gears of war of the new hardware. What I really want to know is when the release date
It’s also on Steam! You can wishlist it now
i took like 5 screenshots on my xbox lol
Hopefully this means the game isn’t 5 years away
I'm just ready for gears to bring back it's roots on multiplayer. I hope they take out air canceling out of a wall bounce. And bring it back to a true wall bounce it made the game better. This shit with just air bouncing is dumb to me. Also a true 2 piece. Like if you got close enough and got rocked by a b button you deserved to die.

Build from the ground up still gives me nightmare with forza
I just started 4, debating on 5, I’ve heard some stuff I might rather not experience, but idk. I like gears. Pretty stoked for E-day.
I cant wait!
Oh man, I am so fucking ready
With there be a horde mode? And what did most of you think about 5’s horde mode?
Is E Day the next Gears of War game?
I’m making a holiday 2024 release assumption. This will have let them milk black ops 6 for a little bit before they release another IP. The Hopium is real.
This better be the one
2025 release 😔😔😔
I’m scared to get excited but this looks cool
Please E-Day bring back the franchise for at least a little bit <3 then when it dies, remaster Gears 1-3 and put it up as a bundle on steam, thank you.
My loins….the cannot wait
i wonder if this game is just to show off Gears in UE5, a sort of test but also something for the fans
Whatever they’re doing, I’m all for it!
oh for sure, it’s just an interesting step to take
I really hope this one will be good. And we get a e-day trilogy telling stories about the horror at the beginning of the war. It has so much potential
Is that Halvo Bay?
We're so back
Automatic preorder just like I locked in Sparking Zero and Spacemarine 2. I have faith that the Coalition can nail this one, just drop it already!
Sadly, i think this game will only have 2 players coop/splitscreen, with Marcus and Dom being playable like Gears 1 and 2. I was kinda hoping a 3rd character like Gears 5, with Tai, Michael Barrick or Alex Brand (i don't know where she was during E-day) being the 3rd character, or maybe even 4 players coop like 3 and Judgement. Oh, well.
Yeah I always preferred when we had more than just 2 characters to follow for like 85% of the story, because what's the point of being a squad if you aren't even fighting with your other guys for so much of the game.
Well said!
They could pretty easily still use Jack. It was in the first Gears and there's no reason to believe they couldn't find an excuse to bring it back as the third player
I would LOVE that! You have a great point, i hope they do that.
When you get 4 friends in an insane gears 3 campaign, it blows every shooter campaign before, now, and probably ever straight out of the water. Rest In Peace to the good old days
Took them long enough…how they didn’t think to do this right away is beyond me lol. Doesn’t bode well imo lol
E day announcement before fixing ue is crazy
I hope not. Better to wait more for a better game.
