In an interview posted on Microsoft’s website, creative director Matt Searcy said that the aim of E-Day was to revisit the tone of the series that fans adore.
"It’s going to be awesome, a game that feels both truly new and authentically Gears."
"We transformed the Drone into something fearsome, physically intimidating and utterly brutal," he said.
