Gears of War E-Day launches in October with DLSS 4.5

Seven years on from the release of Gears 5, The Coalition is back with a new game. Gears of War E-Day is now scheduled to release in early October, with a multiplayer beta test taking place in August for those who want to try it out early. On PC, the game will launch with Nvidia's latest DLSS features.

Gears of War E-Day will support DLSS 4.5 at launch, Nvidia confirmed today. The new game is a prequel to the original trilogy, rather than a sequel to Gears 5. As a result, fan favourite characters, Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago are back in the spotlight as the main protagonists, with both fighting back the Locust horde during their first invasion of earth.

Like all previous Gears of War titles, E-Day is built using Unreal Engine. This time around, The Coalition is implementing new tech like MegaLights for more realistic ray-traced shadows, and Lumen for RT global illumination and ambient occlusion. The game also promises more advanced real-time destruction for more explosive set pieces throughout the campaign.

Aside from the single-player campaign, Gears of War E-Day will also offer traditional PvP multiplayer modes, as well as the series' biggest co-op horde mode to date.
