WWE over the weekend announced two-day event in collaboration with Mexican promotion AAA, Triplemania, will take place on September 11 and 13. The event will be sponsored by the upcoming first-party Xbox title, Gears of War: E-Day.
WWE events in the past have featured video game and movie tie-ins that usually coincide with their release, which suggests Gears of War: E-Day might be launching in September or possibly early October.
Microsoft and developer The Coalition will be hosting the Xbox Games Showcase 2026 and Gears of War: E-Day Direct on Sunday, June 7. This is most likely the day we will learn of the release date for the upcoming game.
Gears of War: E-Day was announced for the Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass in 2024.
Other first-party Xbox games coming out this year includes Forza Horizon 6 later this month, Fable in fall 2026, as well as Halo: Campaign Evolved and more sometime later this year.

Yeah you would slurp nazi cum wouldn't you. MS could murder your family and you would cheer for them.
Wtf lol. Or maybe I just liked Wrestling growing up and its a perfect vendor to market a big bro dude game like Gears.
Im not even American and my ancestors fought agaisnt Nazis and it seems you know nothing about them so I'd suggest not commenting on something you know nothing about.
Xbox hosting Gears of War at a wrestling event in Mexico? I don’t think Xbox has done marketing this brilliantly targeted since Halo 3 lol
AAA isn't as popular in mexico as you think. It was dying when WWE bought them.. CMLL is the most popular wrestling promotion in Mexico by a large margin and have the biggest star since El Santo with Mistico who has a dual contract with AEW. Only one US company has ever been allowed to host Arena Mexico who sells out 16k weekly and that company is AEW. CMLL owns multiple arenas and AAA has none. So really MS settled for second rate in Mexico.
