Microsoft has yet to officially confirm the release date of Gears of War: E-Day, but a new rumor is starting to point to a fairly concrete window for the return of one of Xbox’s most important franchises.

The information comes from the well-known insider The Ghost of Hope, who claims that Xbox is planning to release the game in September. According to him, part of the company’s strategy involves reserving that period for some of its biggest exclusive releases.

Gears of War: E-Day could occupy one of Xbox’s strongest months

The insider’s comment comes as he discusses Xbox’s internal planning for the second half of the year. According to his sources, Microsoft has several major projects lined up for that period, and Gears of War: E-Day is one of them.

The phrase shared by The Ghost of Hope has drawn particular attention:

“They’re not doing it in September because Xbox has Gears and other things then.”

Although this is not official information, the possibility fits in with the calendar that many players are expecting for Xbox over the next few months.

Since its announcement, Gears of War: E-Day has quickly become one of the most anticipated projects from Xbox Game Studios. The game will serve as a prequel to the original saga and will show the events of Emergence Day, one of the most important moments in the Gears universe.

Additionally, the project is being developed with Unreal Engine 5, which has already shown a significant visual leap in its first trailer. For now, it’s best to remain cautious until Xbox officially confirms its plans, but everything suggests that the company wants to reserve a powerful window for the return of Marcus Fenix and company.
