Dominic Santiago
Dom returns as a playable member of Bravo Squad, voiced by Carlos Ferro. The prequel begins with his brother Carlos already lost and his family still at the center of his concerns.
Read entry
Lancer
E-Day features both the MK1 / Retro Lancer and a Prototype Chainsaw Lancer. Their bayonets, handling and place in the story differ; Horde weapon mods do not carry into Versus.
Read entry
Gnasher
The revealed E-Day Gnasher holds six shells and reloads round by round. Its close-range role remains, but the reload system and PvE modifications change how you manage the shotgun.
Read entryLongshot
Longshot is named in the campaign reveal, while Breechshot is separately described in the gameplay update. A reference to ‘the sniper’ does not establish which rifle or rules a player is using.
Read entry
Locust Drone
Drones are the humanoid Locust infantry at the center of E-Day’s first encounters. Armed and unarmed Drones behave differently; Wretches and Boomers are separate enemy types.
Read entry
Boomer
E-Day’s Boomer is a large, heavy-weapon Locust threat. The Coalition confirms that a Lancer chainsaw can execute one at low health, but has not supplied an exact health threshold.

Emergence Day
Emergence Day is the start of the Locust invasion of Sera. The E-Day campaign follows its opening days, fourteen years before the first Gears of War, after a brief peace following the Pendulum Wars.
Read entry
Kalona
Kalona is the city at the center of E-Day’s three-day campaign. Its campaign locations, Horde battlegrounds and six Versus maps share a setting, but are not interchangeable map lists.
Read entry
Campaign & Co-op
E-Day supports a solo campaign, up to four players online, and two-player local split-screen on console. Co-op offers Marcus, Dom, Mags and Lucas; PC split-screen is not included in the announced support.
Read entry
Horde Siege
Horde Siege puts three four-player squads on a shared 12-player battleground. Your squad completes missions and extracts to keep earned Weapon Parts; the 12-player battlefield is not one undivided squad.
Read entry
Versus
Versus is E-Day’s 4v4 PvP experience. Players start with equal equipment, compete for map weapons and cannot bring PvE mods; Ranked, Social and Player vs Bot options serve different goals.
