Key information
Gears of War: E-DAY offers players a chance to experience the start of the Locust invasion, a conflict spanning 20 years. Fans suggest this title could initiate a new trilogy focused on the early days of the war, as many questions regarding this era remain unanswered.
The game introduces a primary antagonist, the Locust commander Krav Vraahk, known as The Impaler. Leading the elite Scorched Legion, he oversees the destruction of Kalona. While he appears to operate independently, he serves as an executor for higher powers within the Locust hierarchy.
A crucial collectible, translated by the community using an established alphabet from 2008's Gears of War 2, reveals the true mastermind behind the Kalona attack. The document, authored by Uzil RAAM, identifies Queen Myrrah as the architect of the assault. The text also references Vold Grev, a mysterious figure believed to be the prosthetic-wearing Locust who served as The Impaler's right hand during the operation.
The discovery of this lore has sparked speculation regarding potential story DLC or campaign expansions. Meanwhile, the game continues to feature classic elements, such as the return of the Gears of War 3 chicken launcher, which players can unlock through specific in-game actions.
