Gears of War: E-Day took center stage at Unreal Fest Chicago, and Coalition showed how it is utilizing Unreal Engine to bring the world of this prequel to life in a way never seen before.
The walkthrough showed Marcus Fenix in the city of Kalona, but this time without the threat of enemies around every corner. Instead, this let the team show off the hundreds of light sources with MegaLights that “greatly improve the visual fidelity of everything from environment destruction to volumetrics and muzzle flashes.”
It was also shown how all of these new tools allow the devs to iterate faster and increase per pixel-visual complexity without compromising resolution or framerate.
See how it all comes together soon, as Gears of War: E-Day will be released on Xbox Series X/S and PC on October 6, 2026.

Slow Walk in Gears🤔👏👏👏👏 I ❤ IT
no destruction in the game just played it ……
Game looks good but runs like a fat kid while playing horde
Why did the Microsoft put this delusional freak front and center during promotions for E-Day? It's bad enough he's at the company at all, at least have the decency to hide him away in a closet when the cameras are rolling, Christ.
Her voice is cringe
ridiculous outfit
the Coalition might be the first studio to tame UE5.
But the old ages of games focus on physics they need to focus on physics
I’ll go around shooting all the lights till the whole room is as dark as can be 😂 I’ll just need a lot of bullets
The Coalition Studios
they are domination , the experts and the masters of the UNREAL ENGINE 😎
Alright, now I expect to see all of this in the game! They keep showing all this cool stuff in the previous tech demo, and you pretty much never see a lot of the features.
This person's voice is challenging to listen to. No idea why..
Going to look even better on PC. Going to finally play Gears 5 in the meantime.
Dark Gritty, yaas no more Reloaded color vomit
this dude sounds like a cool guy
already preorder 😊
Who cares about the lights? Just give us a good game
That dude talking funny and wearing women's clothing is ruining this! Seek help for mental health disorders.
Bravo coalition.
Imagine UE6! We make Animated Videogame Documentaries, if that´s something you´d like please come take a look!
Pick a narrator who talks normally
Say seven sizzling sausages in a sauce pan
IGN not uploading in 4K, why am I not surprised…
