Today, I’m proud to share that Gears of War: E-Day has officially gone gold, marking a major milestone for the team as we enter the final stretch toward launch.
On behalf of everyone at The Coalition, I want to thank the many people who helped bring us to this moment, especially the fans. Your passion for Gears has inspired us every step of the way and reminds us why this franchise continues to mean so much to so many. Thank you to everyone who has played, watched, and shared feedback throughout the journey so far.
Reaching gold is an important milestone for the studio. More importantly, it means we’re one step closer to players experiencing Emergence Day for themselves. We’re excited to finally put the game in your hands when Early Access begins October 1, ahead of launch on October 6.
