The Coalition's surprising purge of the official Gears of War YouTube and Twitch channels has left fans reeling. Weeks after the highly anticipated reveal of Gears of War: E-Day, a prequel set fourteen years before the original game, the channels now feature a drastically reduced content library.
The Gears of War: E-Day reveal trailer remains, alongside a 2020 fan-made video compilation. However, iconic trailers, developer streams, and esports archives—beloved by long-time fans—have vanished. This move, coinciding with the prequel's focus on a return to the series' horror roots, has fueled speculation about a deliberate effort to create a clean slate for the franchise.
While the removal may be temporary, with videos merely hidden rather than deleted, the immediate impact is significant. The Gears of War: E-Day reveal trailer subtly referenced the original game's iconic trailer, using Gary Jules' "Mad World" during Dom's appearance, hinting at the prequel's intent to re-establish the franchise's identity.
The absence of readily available archival content has prompted fans to search for older videos elsewhere on YouTube. While game trailers are likely widely re-uploaded, locating developer streams and esports content may prove more challenging. The Coalition's actions, though puzzling, underscore the anticipation surrounding Gears of War: E-Day, currently slated for a 2025 release.
