00:15You
00:19Welcome to the fight gears
00:22City is overrun with locusts
00:24Bastards are dug in deep
00:27It's gang time
00:28Locked and loaded
00:30Be on the lookout for these breaks in the field
00:34This city is under locust control
00:37They're hunting
00:45Here they come
00:52Placing disruptor here
01:13Let's take this city back
01:17On them
01:23They go in sick
01:26Keep shooting
01:27Don't let up
01:34Get down
01:35Move
01:39Is that all you got?
01:44Off plunging
01:54Die
01:55Old man
01:56Get down
02:10You are this asshole
02:25The squad is at the heart of every Gears of War experience
02:29Whether it's in the stories we tell or the modes we build
02:32Being a gear is all about fighting alongside someone who has your back when shit gets intense
02:37Our players have deep connections to their own squads
02:40They tell stories about lifelong friends and family that grew up playing Gears together
02:46Strangers they met in battle and became bonded to through the game
02:49That feeling of fighting side by side is at the center of E-Day's multiplayer modes
02:55And today we're excited to dive in and show you more
02:59Welcome to Horde Siege
03:01It's an all new 12 player evolution of Gears' legendary Horde
03:05Horde Siege evolves that iconic back against the wall Horde experience the Gears is known for
03:11With larger, more unpredictable, more cinematic and more memorable battles for you and your squad
03:17This is three squads fighting through their own objectives
03:21Criss-crossing with each other through the largest and most immersive multiplayer maps we've ever made
03:26But before you go, you need to choose a class and gear up
03:29Each class has its own tactical gear to match its strategy
03:33As well as progression journeys that unlock loadout weapons, armor mods, and tactical gear mods
03:38So you can tweak your build to your own personal playstyle
03:41The Assault class is about controlling the battlefield with mid-range weapons
03:45While stunning waves of incoming enemies using the sonic disruptor
03:48Marksman focuses on precision damage, especially useful with Horde Siege's longer sightlines
03:54While the Pulse Drone attacks Locust units for you and your squad
03:59The Breacher is a point-blank bruiser that pushes hard into the frontline to make risky plays
04:04Using an adrenaline injector to refill health and reduce incoming damage
04:08And the Medic is a mid-range revive specialist
04:11Focus on keeping your squad on their feet while under fire
04:14The Stim Vaporizer revives any gear, even from other squads, within range
04:19Depending on the mission type you've chosen, you'll get a mix of main objectives
04:24That will have you moving around the map or hunkering down in a location
04:27These objectives give you more variety than ever before
04:31But they're still focused on the Horde feeling of defending and clearing ways of unique enemy combinations
04:37In Horde Siege, this means securing and protecting rigs
04:41Large cog recon devices that have been deployed around the city to scan and map out the enemy's underground tunnel
04:47network
04:48They are critical to the defense of Kelowna, but have the unfortunate, noisy side effect of attracting Locusts whenever they're
04:54activated
04:55Also scattered around the map are secondary objectives
04:58Quick, timed side missions like taking out a high-value target, defusing Locust explosives, or delivering a power corp to
05:06juice up an active rig
05:09Secondary objectives are optional, but they earn in-session squad perks
05:12Boosting your squad's abilities, as well as weapon parts that can be redeemed after your session to upgrade your favorite
05:18guns
05:18As you knock off objectives and kill Locusts, your squad earns energy
05:23This can be spent at supply caches
05:25There, you can upgrade squad perks, grab equipment like grenades, sentry turrets, and razor mines
05:30Change your loadout on the fly if you need a different weapon
05:33Your objectives will often have you cross paths with other squads
05:36And these are really unique, kind of magic moments in scene
05:39Like running into another squad's defensive setup and helping take out some of their waves
05:43But when you both get assigned positions near each other, it can set up a joint kill zone
05:47With a huge relief, when your whole squad is DB&O'd
05:50And you see a group of gears come sprinting around that corner with a clutch revive
05:55If command delivers a supply drop, any squad that fights to secure it gets a share of the rewards inside
06:00The first one in gets the best stuff, so it's often a quick decision if you can spare the time
06:05and effort while managing your objectives
06:07But the most intense multi-squad action hits when our bigger boss appears on the map and things get even
06:13tougher
06:14Invasions can happen at any time during a mission
06:16They add new chaos and challenges to the session
06:19Buffing Locust enemies or restricting certain actions until they're defeated
06:22And it can take more than one squad to bring these huge monsters down
06:25These moments of 12 players coming together to take on iconic Locust creatures
06:30Deliver this great Gears feeling
06:32Fighting alongside a group of soldiers to hold the line
06:35And of course, anyone that helps gets even more rewards
06:39That's fucking beautiful!
06:41Once your mission objectives are complete, command sends in your ride so you can extract
06:45You'll fight through one last intense forward wave to secure the LZ and hold out until your raven appears
06:52A successful mission will reward you and your squad
06:55While you don't technically all need to make it back to the chopper
06:58Your rewards might suffer a bit if you leave your comrades behind
07:02Earned XP will progress your rank, unlocking new Lodo weapons, mods, and equipment
07:08But most importantly, any weapon parts you gained can be redeemed to upgrade your arsenal for the next fight
07:14For the first time in a main Gears title, you can mod our iconic weapons
07:19Some mods will apply small tweaks, nudging the gun towards your personal preference
07:23Other mods are more noticeable, changing what effects you get from hitting a perfect active reload
07:28Or if you want to go nuts, you can even throw a bayonet on your gnasher
07:33That intersection between how you set up your weapons, armor mods, and tactical gear
07:38Creates more choice and gameplay strategy than we've ever had before
07:42And of course, when you and your squad combine your builds, it can be the difference that gets you through
07:48an especially tough mission
07:49Horde Siege missions mix variety, objectives, difficulty, modifiers, and harder challenges each time you play
07:57Shaking things up with things like explosive drone deaths, only perfect reloads, or even friendly fire
08:04Poisons also make a return, meaning the Locust Horde gets more powerful as you play through a mission
08:09If you're looking for a dose of that classic Horde grind, our Horde missions will set you up in one
08:15spot
08:15Testing your squad against ten grueling waves of survival
08:19All of these elements, combined with the variety of objective locations on each map
08:23And of course, the chaotic fun of mixing in two other squads of real players
08:28Means you'll never have the same experience twice
08:33The ultimate squad challenge in Gears has always been founded on Versus modes
08:37Two squads going head to head, trying to rip each other apart with a mix of tactical teamwork and clutch
08:42gameplay
08:42We wanted to deliver that pure Gears PvP feeling, but now evolved with E-Day's new movement mechanics
08:48All our launch modes are 4v4, as Locust and Cog squads square off on all new maps
08:55PvP is where you hone your skills
08:56No mods allowed here
08:58Everyone starts with the same loadout
09:00Fighting on symmetrical battlefields to claim key weapon spawns across tactical locations
09:05Our launch maps, Park, Battleship, Outpost, Precinct, Market and Skyward
09:11Are all set in and around Kelowna
09:14And they have that classic Gears feel
09:16Focusing on cover, fronts and lanes, but with opportunities to use E-Day's new traversal mechanics
09:22We're starting off with a tight set of 4 modes
09:25Team Deathmatch and Conquest, our new King of the Hill mode, will feel familiar, but with some great new updates
09:31And they're joined by two new modes
09:32In Demolition, each squad battles over a neutral bomb
09:36And then attempts to plant it at one of two of the opposing team's bomb sites
09:40This is Gears PvP battles at their best
09:43Two fronts colliding, squads coordinating with non-stop action
09:47As you constantly flip between attacking and defending
09:51Crucible is a great new mode that revolves around the power core
09:54Whoever holds it gains points
09:56The scoring zone shrinks and it moves as the round goes on
09:59This means the fight is always coming to you
10:02Power core's one-charge shot could strip the flesh right off an enemy
10:06So well-timed defensive play can lock in that win
10:09After launch, we'll be adding in new maps, modes and events to keep things fresh
10:14Including some favorites that we're excited to bring back
10:17Gears of War E-Day is a new game, built from scratch to feel like Gears, play like new
10:21So whether you're a Gears veteran or jumping in for the first time
10:24It was important to us that there was a place to get familiar with the gameplay mechanics
10:28Our short boot camp tutorial will walk you through the basics
10:31But we've also included a combat training space where you can test out weapons, movement
10:36You can even go up against some short locus encounters to get to reps in
10:40We have pre-made control schemes for all types of players
10:43If none of them fit you perfectly, you can always customize one to your liking
10:47When you're feeling ready to pop some heads, Versys is set up with two main ways to play
10:51Jump into social to get into the fight and roll through some matches
10:55Or you can even choose a playlist to play with bots as you continue to train your skills
10:59If you're feeling up to it, join Ranked to get sweaty and test yourself in more competitive playlists
11:04While earning exclusive rewards
11:06Almost all our character skins are based directly in the lore, themes and events of the Gears universe
11:13Our legendary skins are a bit more over the top
11:15Celebrating gritty and imaginative designs inspired by the fives of our brand
11:20When it comes to collecting and growing your own collection of customization items in E-Day
11:24We've taken a more old school inspired approach
11:27That means nearly every single piece of customization in E-Day can be earned by just playing the game
11:33You'll unlock new items through completing seasonal and event challenges
11:36Unlocking achievements and by earning medals from our classic medal system
11:40Everything else can be obtained by completing matches and earning coins
11:44Which unlock items in the barracks
11:46We'll have a few things that are pay-only
11:48But they're limited to our premium edition items and charity or partner content
11:52Like the Ride the Lightning weapon skin set we've created in partnership with Metallica
11:56Every season, we'll grow our lineup of Cog and Locust characters
11:59As well as adding new weapon skins, poses, customization elements, challenges, medals and events
12:05All of this is to say, there's no battle pass, no pay to win, no bullshit
12:10Play what you want, chase the unlocks you think are the coolest
12:13And we'll have themed seasonal updates that bring in loads of new kick-ass content
12:21Horde Siege and Gears Versus
12:23Epic PvE battles and tight PvP combat
12:27That deliver on that intense Gears action in a totally new game
12:31So grab your squad and join the fight
12:34Early access to the open beta begins August 6th on Xbox, PC and Steam
12:39And we can't wait for you to get your hands on Gears of War E-Day
12:42We'll see you on the battlefield
12:43I'm back here
12:51You
