Despite receiving positive reviews overall, both Gears 4 and 5 failed to achieve the impact Microsoft had hoped for, especially among hardcore fans. That's why the studio decided to present Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel to everything seen in the saga so far.
Fans of the franchise hope to see better developed characters, more organic moments of humor and a positive balance between story and horror. These were some aspects of the new games made by a different studio and development team that were criticized by IP supporters.
Although many gamers expected a sixth part of the franchise due to the cliffhanger, The Coalition surprised everyone with the announcement of Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel that will show how the Locust first came about.
