Gears of War: E-Day launches with a collab that puts a Legendary pose in your hands. We’re teaming up with Liquid Death from September 25 through November 30, bringing an in-game reward, a limited-edition merch drop, and a new way to gear up for Emergence Day.
Unlock Chainsaw Flex
Pick up Liquid Death Energy at Amazon, Target, Walmart, Instacart, or Kroger and you can unlock an in-game content pack for Gears of War: E-Day, headlined by Chainsaw Flex — a Legendary animated pose you can equip on any playable character. Nothing says “I’m fine, everything’s fine” on Emergence Day quite like flexing with a Chainsaw.
Liquid Death Energy is an easy-drinking energy drink with just 5 calories, zero sugar, and 100mg of unextreme caffeine.
The pack also includes a Liquid Death–branded in-game banner, emblem, and icon.
To claim it, head to liquiddeath.com/freechainsaws, connect your retailer account through the digital reward landing page, then purchase Liquid Death Energy through that retailer online or in store. Offer runs in the U.S. only from September 25 – November 30, 2026.
A Pint Glass With Teeth
Additionally, at 12pm PT today, the limited-edition Liquid Death x Gears of War: E-Day chainsaw pint glass drops for $25 at the Liquid Death Merch Store. Limited edition means limited edition. Move accordingly.

Experience the horror and brutality of Emergence Day. Fourteen years before the original Gears of War, join Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago in a gripping origin-story campaign as the Locust Horde first erupt from below, igniting a desperate fight for survival. Rally your squad and fight on in multiplayer with a reimagination of Gears’ iconic PvE mode, Horde Siege, or go head-to-head with a refined Versus PvP.* Built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5, Gears of War: E-Day delivers the most immersive Gears yet.
The Story of E-Day
Fight through the chaos of Emergence Day in a gripping origin story campaign.
Battle alone, side by side in two-player split-screen, or rally up to four players online across Campaign, Horde Siege, and Versus.*
Horde Siege PvE – Back and Bigger Than Ever
Survive a city under siege in an evolved take on Gears’ iconic co-op wave survival mode built for larger maps, more players, and bigger battles.
Choose your class – Assault, Marksman, Medic, or Breacher – then drop in as a 4-player squad to fight back the Locust.
Team up with multiple squads to conquer shared objectives and take down world bosses. Survive to earn rewards, unlock customization and improve your loadout for the next match.

Atmosphere and detail are pushed further than ever. The world feels more grounded, believable, and dangerous.
Familiar enemies are more threatening, joined by all-new creatures and villains that reestablish a true sense of horror.
