The third-person shooter has been described as the next mainline game in the franchise, and the excitement following its announcement has also led in increased player numbers for previous instalments.
Gears of War: E-Day is in development for Xbox Series X/S and PC.
As per a report published by TrueAchievments, which uses a sample size of over 2.4 million Xbox accounts, following Gears of War: E-Day’s announcement, Gears of War: Ultimate Edition saw an increase of 323 percent in player numbers on Xbox consoles.
We may not have got the Gears 6 announcement we were all hoping for, but Microsoft and The Coalition still turned more than a few heads with the announcement of Gears of War: E-Day at the Xbox Games Showcase earlier this month.
