Recent reports suggest a more specific release window for Gears of War: E-Day. Since its announcement in 2024, Xbox and The Coalition have been quiet about the next Gears of War game, only confirming a 2026 release. Now, a trusted source has revealed new details about when players can finally expect the game.
According to The Verge, the new Gears of War: E-Day game is currently scheduled to release sometime in the latter half of 2026. While Xbox has an internal target date, they haven’t announced it publicly yet. They’re also considering the November release of Grand Theft Auto VI and want to avoid launching Gears of War: E-Day too close to it. This suggests that early November is likely the latest the game will come out.
Gears of War: E-Day Should Be the Biggest Xbox Game of 2026

Xbox is planning a huge lineup of games for 2026. Beyond Gears of War: E-Day, players can look forward to titles like Fable, Forza Horizon 6, and Halo: Campaign Evolved, as well as games from Bethesda and Activision. However, Gears of War: E-Day has the potential to be the standout title among them all.
After the mixed reactions to Gears of War 4 and Gears 5, The Coalition made a smart move by returning to the core of what made the Gears of War series great. By focusing the story on original heroes Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago, E-Day is an ideal entry point for both new players and longtime fans. If the story is engaging and the multiplayer is top-notch, E-Day has the potential to be the best exclusive game on Xbox this year – and possibly one of the best of the current generation of consoles.
Currently, Gears of War: E-Day is scheduled to release only on Xbox Series X/S and PC. However, considering Gears of War: Reloaded came to PS5 last year, it’s probable that E-Day will also be available on PlayStation in the future.
