Fans eager to know what Gears of War: E-Day’s multiplayer modes will look like won’t have to wait any longer. Coalition has confirmed on X that on July 30, 2026, at 6:00 am PT | 9:00 am ET, it will reveal the first gameplay footage of Gears of War: E-Day’s multiplayer on Xbox’s official YouTube channel.

What we know so far about Gears of War: E-Day’s multiplayer is that, according to Xbox Wire, it will feature a 12-player PvE horde mode similar to Gears of War 2’s horde mode, but on a much grander scale, where you and other players work to fend off invading Locust across giant city maps.

Plus, it will feature a 4v4 PvP mode where players fight in classic Gears of War-style symmetrically designed maps with new traversal mechanics thrown in.
