The Coalition has confirmed that Gears of War: E-Day experienced service disruptions over the weekend due to deliberate DDoS attacks. These malicious actions resulted in intermittent disconnects and login failures for players attempting to access the shooter's online services.
The studio addressed the situation in a statement posted at 2AM BST on October 12th, noting that their teams are actively working to monitor and mitigate the ongoing impact of these attacks. Developers have promised to share further updates should any significant changes occur regarding server stability.
These technical difficulties occurred during the game's critical first weekend, following its release on October 6th. The timing is particularly challenging for the title, as these early days are essential for building momentum after a new launch, and the barrage of bogus requests effectively hindered player access.
While the game explores the origins of the Locust War, the studio faces broader corporate challenges. Microsoft, the parent company of The Coalition, is currently navigating a boycott movement and recent mass layoffs across its gaming division, which have impacted various studios under its management.
