Back in 2023, Bulletstorm developers People Can Fly announced that they were working on a game with Microsoft known as Project Maverick. Following this, the studio revealed that they are also assisting The Coalition with development on Gear of War: E-Day. Though not explicitly stated at the time, the team has now confirmed that Project Maverick was in fact Gear of War: E-Day.
People Can Fly recently updated the ‘About Us’ section on their website, offering new details on all their current ongoing projects. Though not confirmed to be the same project at the time, the team have now solidified the fact that their mysterious ‘Project Maverick’ was in fact the upcoming Gears of War: E-Day, writing:
“PCF Group S.A. is currently working on seven projects: Gemini, a new AAA game developed in partnership with global publisher Square Enix; Maverick (Gears of War: E-Day), in collaboration with Microsoft; Echo, a mode to the existing game developed for Krafton; and projects Bifrost and Victoria (Lost Rift) to be released in the self-publishing model.”
Of course, for our purposes the most notable reveal was the confirmation that Project Maverick is in fact Gears of War: E-Day (a fact which was assumed but not officially announced).
This is somewhat interesting however as Maverick was said to be an RPG of sorts – something which is not typically associated with the Gears franchise. Whether this was merely a matter of different definitions, or whether E-Day will offer more in the way of role-playing we will have to wait and see.
All that said, it is slightly disappointing to know that Project Maverick is not some brand new IP with a ton of inventive ideas. Hopefully E-Day proves to be more than just a simple sequel/prequel to Gears 5.
KitGuru says: Are you looking forward to Gears of War: E-Day? What did you think project Maverick was going to be? What kind of RPG elements do you hope to see included? Let us know down below.
