The Coalition has outlined Gears of War: E-Day Season 1, which will run through December 1 and feature 3 limited-time events. The roadmap arrives as Premium early access is scheduled to begin October 1, ahead of the full release on October 6.

Halloween, 20 Years of Gears, and Thanksgibbing will each run for two weeks. Every event will include a Versus Event mode, a Horde Siege Event mission, and exclusive rewards, giving the season several limited-time ways to play beyond its main multiplayer offerings.

Weekly Challenges are scheduled to start refreshing on October 13. The in-game Shop will rotate every Tuesday and include free featured gifts.

Players who earned achievements in Gears of War: Reloaded can also unlock rewards in E-Day. Completing the Prison Breakout Achievement grants the Fire and Fenix Pose, while earning the Re-Up Achievement unlocks the Old Guard Medal and Locked n’Reloaded Title.

The Coalition also shared an early look at the seasons beyond the first in its Season 1 roadmap. Season 2, titled Legacy and Beyond, will feature content themed around the franchise’s greatest hits. The later seasons are named Infiltration, Pendulum, and Devotion. Their lengths will vary, with more specific details to come closer to each season’s launch.
