Developer The Coalition has been quite shy on dropping any nitty gritty details for Gears of War: E-Day just yet, which is perhaps understandable given that the game won't be out until 2025 at the very earliest. However, the studio was pressed about multiplayer modes over the weekend, and while it hasn't gone into specifics, it sounds like fans can expect this to be a fully fledged Gears game - multiplayer and all.
When Windows Central asked about Gears of War's "frenetic multiplayer combat" returning in E-Day, this is what the team had to say:
"I would say, this is the next mainline Gears game,
Gears has a pretty clear DNA for gameplay modes, so you can probably anticipate where we'll be going with E-Day."
Again, there aren't any specifics here, but we'd say this answer strongly hints that the series' PvE Horde mode will likely feature - alongside the typical set of PvP multiplayer modes that the franchise is known for. We can't imagine a mainline Gears game without them nowadays!
While the team continues to be sheepish about such modes, we are starting to get more information about the game's campaign. We know that The Coalition is focusing on the "scary moments" in Gears of War: E-day's story, which is music to our ears.

old school horde will be amazing
I'm not a fan of PvP MP in Gears - but I loved Horde and then the Beast mode variation of Horde...
I'm in the top 1% in the World for Horde in Gears 5, yet I have never once touched the PvP aspect! Love me some Horde (in fact, I've just finished yet another 50 this afternoon!), so I am looking forward to seeing what The Coalition do with Horde in particular, and am hoping to see the return of some of the old, and now missing, enemies.
I keep reading about horror in Gears of War, but really struggle to see it. Grim, yes. Dark, yes. Gritty, yes. Horror... er, no! Silent Hill, or Resident Evil, maybe, but not Gears of War.
I think some people may perhaps be slightly disappointed with the campaign in E-Day because unless The Coalition have two separate (or maybe parallel) campaigns then there will be no Cole or Baird. You might see Dizzy, Tai or Minh Young Kim as they all feature in the backstory of Marcus, but the likelihood is that you will see the formation of a new 'band of brothers', rather than the return of the old favourites. I think many people will have overlooked this fact, and thus maybe disappointed.
Interestingly, it is possible that we might see what happens to Cole's mother, as she was killed during the events of E-Day. I also think it is highly possible that we see what happens to Eduardo Santiago, Sylvia Santiago, Benedict Santiago and Eva Santiago, as they all died on E-Day too, as were the parents of Maria, so Dom will have quite a bit going on during the events of that time.
We may even get some flashbacks to the death of Carlos Santiago, who was the best friend of Marcus, and who sacrificed himself to save him. At that time, Dom used to be the third-wheel, and it was his brother that Marcus hung out with, but it is the reason that Marcus and Dom became so close...
Whatever year this drops it will be my GOTY. Love me som Gears of War. Multiplayer and all.
People loose their minds over simple rumors these days much less possibilities. The devs don't need to say anything until the game is much closer to release.
So hyped for this game. I’m replaying all the gears of war games right now. Hopefully they announce a collection soon.
