Gears of War: E-Day – Gameplay

0

We finally get to see the brutal origin story that reveals the bloody conflict that saw Marcus Fenix and the rest of the Gears battling against the Locusts as Emergence Day occurs. Watch as we fight our way through numerous enemies, take on familiar and some new foes, and explore a bit of the world in Xbox’s Gears of War: E-Day.

Gears of War: E-Day – Gameplay

Fourteen years before the original Gears of War, Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago are caught in the first hours of the Locust invasion. As creatures erupt from beneath the streets of Sera, the two soldiers must fight through a city thrown into panic and destruction. This origin story follows the beginning of their bond and the moment humanity realises the scale of the threat rising from below.

E-Day returns to the series’ heavy, cover-based shooting while giving players more ways to move, vault and flank through close-quarters battles. The campaign can be played solo or in two-player co-op, while multiplayer includes competitive Versus matches and Horde Siege, a larger-scale take on the series’ wave survival mode. New and familiar Locust, reworked weapons and a darker atmosphere bring the horror of humanity’s first encounter with the Horde into focus.

Gears of War: E-Day
Developer: The Coalition
Publisher: Xbox Game Studios
Platform: Xbox Series X/S, PC/Steam

BATTLEFIELD 6 SEASON 5 BEGINS TODAY – NEW MAPS AND MODES

Season 5 of Battlefield 6 and Battlefield REDSEC kicks off today with the launch of Phase 1 (Siege of Las Vegas), which introduces two new maps (Vegas Strip and Area 51), an exhilarating fast-paced take on Battle Royale, plus the imminent arrival of a Dead Space limited time scenario.

WATCH THE SEASON 5 GAMEPLAY TRAILER

The first of the two new maps brings chaos to the strip, transforming this iconic spot to an enthralling battleground, while the second map takes players beyond the lights of the neon city to the perimeter of the clandestine Area 51. 

WATCH THE RAPID ROYALE TRAILER

Phase 1 also includes an all-new way to enjoy REDSEC with Rapid Royale: an intense, compact take on Battlefield’s Battle Royale, with faster rounds and a smaller population of players. In Rapid Royale, the goal remains the same: be the last squad standing. Taking down enemies will give you redeploy tokens that can bring you back into the game, however, as the match progresses, the number of kills needed to earn these tokens increases.

And from October 20th through November 7th, a limited-time scenario will unfold that will be very familiar to fans of Dead Space. This special event is a celebration of everything Dead Space and includes environmental spaces inspired by the 2023 remake, as well as unique cosmetics for players to unlock.

GAME OF THRONES: KINGSROAD GLOBAL CONTENT ALIGNMENT NOW LIVE, FEATURING UPGRADED GAMEPLAY FEATURES AND NEW STORY CONTENT, INCLUDING SEASON 3 STORMLANDS UPDATE

Join the Global Content Alignment Server Today to Receive Rewards

LOS ANGELES – OCTOBER 13, 2026 – Netmarble, a leading developer and publisher of high-quality games, launched the Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Global Content Alignment server today. Players will experience sweeping updates including redesigned progression systems, evolved combat mechanics, improved social and multiplayer features, earlier access to co-op content, stunning new visuals, and much more as part of the new content fans of the franchise can expect beginning today.

Today’s launch also introduces highly anticipated new story content for players, including the story content from the Casterly Rock update, now available to Western players for the first time. Players can travel to the ancestral home of the Lannisters and face new challenges while encountering some familiar–but not necessarily friendly–faces.

And even more content is available with the launch of the Season 3 update, “Trial of the Stormlands Bannermen: Rain and Flame.” The three bannerman houses of House Fell, House Connington, and House Morrigen will become available for players to side with as they ultimately form a united front to oppose the spread of the R’hllor Red Heretic Priest faction. Along the way, players will participate in personal ranking competitions, various open-field exploration activities, and a journey to claim a new “Breath of Balerion” artifact, a remnant from the day Harrenhal fell. This artifact is believed to be fused slag left behind when Aegon the Conqueror and his dragon, Balerion the Black Dread, set Harrenhal ablaze during the Targaryen Conquest.

With the Global Content Alignment server now open, players of the original Game of Thrones: Kingsroad can retain their existing characters and gameplay on the current Western Server, or, for those who want to experience the redesigned gameplay systems on the Global Content Alignment server, a comprehensive reward program will be offered to make the transition, based on both character progression and cumulative purchase history on the Western Server.

For additional information on the Global Content Alignment and comprehensive reward program, please visit the recent Developer’s Note and FAQ.

Game of Thrones: Kingsroad is an open-world action RPG based on HBO®’s iconic Emmy®- and Golden Globe®-winning original drama series, Game of Thrones. The game is officially licensed by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on behalf of HBO.

Shift Starts October 27. Attendance Is Mandatory.

Coal Duty, the co-op extraction horror-comedy where the State sets the quota and your crew plans the escape, enters Early Access on Steam on October 27.

ISTANBUL, TÜRKIYE — October 13, 2026. The State has issued a start date. Coal Duty, the 1-5 player co-op extraction horror-comedy from Corecrew Games, enters Early Access on Steam on Tuesday, October 27.

The demo gave crews six trips into a single mine floor and two quotas to hit. Early Access opens up the rest of the operation: the Easy and Hard floors, mines generated across multiple biomes, the full creature roster and the escape machine the demo kept back. Two complete endings ship on day one. Corecrew puts the first one roughly five hours down, and the second is there for crews who dig deeper or take the other way out.

The premise is the punchline. The sky froze three generations ago, the State kept the mines running, and every miner gets the same instruction: make the quota. Whatever a crew does beyond that is between them and the dark. That includes loot that never quite makes it onto the report, tickets spent at the workshop between shifts, and quiet business with a smuggler in a restricted area the State does not officially acknowledge. Every one of those plans gets made over proximity voice chat, which means every plan can also be heard by whatever is waiting in the next tunnel.

Corecrew is a five-person team, and it is building the rest of the game in public. Around 2,500 players went through the studio’s community playtests before the demo went live, and Early Access is how that feedback keeps steering the build. The studio expects 12 to 18 months in Early Access, with a roadmap that already includes new escape routes and endings, new creatures, new biomes, expanded hub activities and a run of new tools and items.

Coal Duty launches in 13 languages, including Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese. Shift starts October 27. Until then, the Coal Duty demo is free to play on Steam as of October 8th and all through Steam Next Fest October Edition. Press and creators can request Early Access keys through the form below.

ABOUT CORECREW GAMES

Corecrew Games is a five-person independent studio based in Istanbul, Türkiye, formed by former colleagues. Coal Duty is the team’s debut title.

Co-op Action-Builder GRAVHOUNDS Releases New Steam Demo, Available Now

Octopus Panic invites players to jump in and experience seven planets, four playable Gravhounds and the Mod Deck Builder before Early Access kicks off on November 2!

SEATTLE – Oct. 13, 2026 – Independent developer and publisher Octopus Panic has announced that GRAVHOUNDS, the recently revealed co-op action-builder for 1-4 players, has a new demo out now on Steam, running through to October 18. The demo features seven planets across two solar systems, with players able to choose from four playable Gravhounds: Selene, Zane, Dozer and Finn. Expeditions can be tackled solo or with up to four players in co-op, giving players the freedom to build their own squad and take on the game’s hostile alien environments together.

Play the GRAVHOUNDS Demo Now: Steam

One of the biggest features of the demo is the Mod Deck Builder, created directly in response to player feedback from the game’s open playtest. The new system gives players greater control over the possibilities they’ll encounter during an expedition while retaining the unpredictability that makes each run unique. Players can change their deck between expeditions, allowing them to experience different strategies as their Mod library grows.

“The support from our playtesters has been pretty overwhelming,” said Josh Holmes, co-founder of Octopus Panic. “We’re a small team, and having so many people take the time to play, report bugs, and share ideas has been a huge help.”

For those who previously playtested the game, the demo also includes numerous fixes and improvements to planets, resources, objectives, saves, animation, audio, multiplayer reliability and more.

GRAVHOUNDS Features:

  • 1-4-Player Co-Op: Intense alone, chaotic with a crew. Combine each Gravhound’s unique strengths and improvise to beat back the swarm. Go lone wolf to expand the operation or stick with the pack to stand your ground.
  • Bend Gravity to Your Will: Use the powerful Grav Beam to fling objects across the battlefield or send enemies flying. Disclaimer: transporting volatile materials may result in unforeseen loss of Gravhounds.
  • Build to Survive: Deploy turrets, generators, and fabricators to expand your operation. Extend pipelines across hostile terrain to power your base, move critical resources, and keep your eventual escape route alive.
  • No Two Shifts Play the Same: Unlock powerful new abilities and upgrades mid-shift. Stack bonuses and reshape your loadout to adapt to a swarm that grows deadlier by the second.
  • Move Fast, Die Last: High-speed mobility allows players to boost in any direction, hover, and reposition under heavy fire to race to a teammate’s aid or make a last-second dash for materials.
  • High-Risk Extraction: Seek out treacherous planets for the best materials. Stay longer and push harder to increase your rewards, but beware: every extra second escalates the swarm, turning each shift into a high-stakes bet on what your pack can handle.

GRAVHOUNDS is developed by Octopus Panic, founded by veterans of 343 Industries and DICE, with development led by Halo 4 Creative Director and former Halo Studios Head Josh Holmes.

Players can wishlist GRAVHOUNDS on Steam and Xbox ahead of its Early Access release on November 2. Keep up to date with the latest development updates on GRAVHOUNDS.com and Discord!
