Imagine stepping into the chaotic aftermath of Emergence Day, where Horde mode in Gears of War E Day redefines the thrill of survival.

Picture yourself and four squad members thrust into a hauntingly beautiful, war-torn landscape—a dark and abandoned street in Kalona, illuminated only by the flicker of failing street and store lights. The cityscape is a testament to destruction, with buildings crumbling under the assault of Brumak missiles and the seismic shifts caused by emergence holes.

The air is thick with tension as distant echoes of crackling emergence holes and the cries of fleeing civilians punctuate the night. You and your squad move with purpose, readying yourselves for the onslaught to come. In the eerie half-light, shadows of the enemy dance, hinting at the battles that will soon unfold.

Suddenly, the words "Wave 1" flash across your screen, accompanied by a single, daunting command: Survive.

The Locust Drones appear, towering over your squad and exuding raw power, are relentless and cunning, working in tandem to crush your defenses. Wretches break cover to rush at you with reckless abandon, while snipers lurk silently in shattered windows, their sights trained on your every move. In the distance, Boomers lay down suppressive fire, and the skies threaten with the ominous presence of random Reaver air support.

Armed with a retro lancer, gnasher, and a few frags, your arsenal feels scarce against the tide. Only picking up what the defeated Locust possessed.

Your only lifeline is the ability to call in a King Raven for covering fire and providing a cache of weapons and ammunition—but doing so risks drawing the Boomers' attention, jeopardizing both your support and your survival.

This is the essence of Horde mode—pure, unadulterated survival. It's not about classes, special abilities, or even building up defenses; it's about embodying the true spirit of Gears. It's about grit and determination, the melancholy beauty of a world on the brink of ruin, the horror of overwhelming odds, and the unbreakable bonds of brotherhood, teamwork, communication, and ….. taking cover.

Gears of War E Day can deliver this visceral experience.

I’m so ready for a release date.

Idk how I felt about the “superpowers” each class had in horde mode. It took away the realism of the firefights and hopelessness that ensued when fighting against overwhelming odds. I enjoyed thinking we were f*cked and having to communicate with my squad and shoot our way out it. Not rely on superpowers to give us an edge needed to win.

I think a main antagonist is always needed in a GOW game. What could be interesting is a reoccurring locust drone that encounters Marcus and Dom that rises through the ranks by successfully completing his tasks/missions. If they continue a prequel trilogy (hopefully) we could watch this drones ascension to a high ranking position.

Is locust horde insignia religion

Is sera cradle world or temperate world or terrestrial world

There's someone from administration who I can chat? I'm interested in share something to them.

I mean many characters didnt even get higher rank than corporal.

After seeing the recent Xbox showcase, I really want to get into gears of war since the e day trailer looked good, but I want to play the games in lore order. can anyone give me a timeline or something, so I know which games to play first. Thanks.

From what I understand in lore if they do a 4 person squad it’ll be Marcus, Dom, Tai & Pad right? They’re together in the first year of the locust war I believe so that’s most likely our squad if they really follow the lore right?
