XBOX and The Coalition kindly invited me to take part in a preview for the CAMPAIGN from E-Day. Is Gears of War going open world? How are the characters portrayed? Are The Coalition still wizards of Unreal Engine? In this video I'll take you through my experience with TWO CHAPTERS of E-Day and what we might be able to expect ahead of the full game in October!

UPDATE: At the time of publishing - the brand new story trailer has premiered too! There's no mention of that in this, as it was recorded prior. Thoughts on that soon, and head over to the Gears Intel twitter for more!Note - very mild early story spoilers are covered in this preview - though there's really nothing too dramatic, no big set-pieces, or bosses, and it's more about setting the scene. If you don't want to see ANY story spoilers whatsoever, I've written-up a preview which leaves out all of those details, and just focuses on gameplay etc. This can be found on our twitter, or at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C0rFvkIjtMhic4zHcyBRPElix_MIoVzZ/view?usp=sharing00:00 - Intro00:57 - Excitement for E-Day01:35 - Gameplay & Movement03:48 - Character moments05:27 - Open Districts07:41 - More gameplay08:10 - Visuals09:31 - Characters & World10:59 - Final preview thoughtsFootage in the video is taken from my own preview sessions on Xbox Series XThank you for supporting Gears Intel.

Taking on the infamous Locust leader from Gears 1, General RAAM, Zeta is led by Lt. Minh Young Kim (Gears 1) and comprised of familiar faces such as Michael Barrick (Gears of War comic series) and Tai Kaliso (Gears 2), and also includes a new female comrade, Alicia Valera."Uniquely, it also puts you in the perspective of RAAM, including allowing the player to utilise his ability to control the Kryll and use it as a weapon against the humans.
