Gears of War: E-Day Shows Destruction Not Seen in the Series for a Long Time
The Coalition emphasized from the very beginning that the game would show the brutal start of the war with the Locust. The entire story unfolds in one city, so players will be able to see how it gradually gets destroyed.
At the beginning of the campaign, streets and buildings look intact, but after new battles, familiar places change. Buildings are destroyed or collapsed, streets are covered with debris, and some passages disappear. In some episodes, Marcus and Dom can no longer take their previous route, as part of the city has been literally razed to the ground.
This is what impressed players who discussed the comparison of locations. The Coalition uses destruction not only to demonstrate scale but also to show the development of the catastrophe. The heroes return to familiar places, and their appearance and layout change beyond recognition.
This approach aligns with the concept of E-Day: the player first sees the city before large-scale destruction, and then observes the consequences of the invasion directly during gameplay.
