Also available on Steam.<\/p>\n

During XBOX Games Showcase 2026, we shared a first look at Gears of War: E-Day \u2014 including a gameplay demo and the E-Day Direct \u2014 and revealed our Collector\u2019s Edition, a premium offering designed to celebrate the series\u2019 origins.<\/p>\n

Available October 1, fans can play 5 days early as the Collector\u2019s Edition includes the Xbox Series X Premium Edition of Gears of War: E-Day on disc, along with a curated set of physical items for fans who want to bring a piece of Emergence Day home.<\/p>\n

At the center of the Collector\u2019s Edition is a 15-inch collectible statue \u2014 a dynamic diorama inspired by the reunion of the ultimate brotherhood: Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago. Rather than singling out one character, we chose to capture both together inside a collapsing structure \u2013 Marcus is desperately grabbing hold of his falling best friend, who gets a dramatic headshot on Feral Wretch emerging from an open E-hole below. The statue design is a riff off a moment we loved from our 2024 Announce Trailer<\/a> \u2013 except the roles are reversed.<\/p>\n

\"Gears<\/p>\n

We did this intentionally so that we could feature Marcus holding the game\u2019s Prototype Chainsaw Lancer, which gets its origins in E-Day. Other details we love are the blood-spattered Crimson Omen carved on the back of the statue and the battery-powered red light from the E-Hole which casts a haunting glow, bringing the moment to life.<\/p>\n

For us, E-Day is defined by two beginnings: the day everything on the planet Sera falls apart, starting the Locust War and the start of the unbreakable bond between Marcus and Dom, formed by overcoming their shared grief. We designed the statue to tell both stories at once.<\/p>\n

\"Gears<\/p>\n

That same theme carries through the rest of the collection. The included SteelBook, illustrated by our longtime collaborator Luke Preece, features a detailed illustration of Marcus on one side and Dom on the other. Both are depicted holding the COG tags of their fallen friend and brother, Carlos Santiago \u2013 whose death acts as a thematic ghost throughout our story.<\/p>\n

Inside the Collector\u2019s Edition, a pair of replica COG tags are those very same tags, engraved with Carlos\u2019 name and the special \u201cES\u201d marking for the Embry Star commendation, awarded after his death at Aspho Fields. The tags themselves are forged from zinc alloy, laser-engraved, matched to exact in-game geometry, and finished on a heavy game-accurate chain. As a team, we truly feel like these are the best tags we\u2019ve ever made.<\/p>\n

\"Gears<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve paired them with a replica photograph that appears in-game of Dom, Carlos and Marcus in happier times.<\/p>\n

We truly wanted the Collector\u2019s Edition to feel authentic and special because of how much we love Gears and our appreciation and respect for the elements that give life to this universe. That includes caring about every part of the experience, down to the keepsake box, which we hope is something you display, not tuck away. Details throughout reinforce the tone of E-Day, including a built-in display drawer beneath the statue that houses the tags and is inscribed with a line from the COG oath: \u201cI shall hold my place in the machine.\u201d<\/p>\n

And finally, we\u2019ve included a premium art print of the Feral Wretch \u2014 the first Locust creature to emerge on Emergence Day \u2014 presented in a portfolio case, along with a sincere thank-you note from our team.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

In addition to its physical collectibles, the Collector\u2019s Edition includes the Premium Edition of Gears of War: E\u2011Day, featuring up to 5 days of early access, the Bravo Squad Signature Weapon Pack, Emergence Omen Weapon Skin, five seasonal customization packs (beginning with the Emergence Pack at launch), and 1,000 Iron in-game currency. Pre-ordering the Collector\u2019s Edition also grants early access to the Open Beta starting August 6, 2026.<\/p>\n

For us, this Collector\u2019s Edition represents more than a product \u2013 it\u2019s an opportunity to create something meaningful and special. We approached it as fans ourselves, building something we would genuinely want to own. We hope you love it as much as we do.<\/p>\n

The Gears of War: E\u2011Day Collector\u2019s Edition will be available for XBOX Series X and Steam. The XBOX Series X version includes a physical disc.<\/p>\n

The Collector\u2019s Edition launches October 1, 2026, with global release of Gears of War: E\u2011Day following on October 6, 2026. Pre-orders are available now through the XBOX Game Studios Shop<\/a> and select retailers. Quantities are limited, and availability varies by region.<\/p>\n
