A 1:1 scale replica of the "Prototype Lancer" from Gears of War: E-Day is set to open for pre-orders this Thursday. The collectible recreates the weapon featured in the upcoming game, which depicts the early stages of the Locust War where the COG improvised by mounting chainsaws onto standard-issue rifles.

Context for the Collectible
This release follows a history of similar high-end replicas for the franchise, such as the Gears 5 Crimson Omen Lancer, which historically retailed for approximately $150. Collectors should expect the E-Day version to fall into a similar price bracket.
Beyond the physical replica, Gears of War: E-Day is scheduled for an exclusive release on Xbox Series X|S on October 6, 2026. The game’s marketing campaign also includes an ongoing Instagram sweepstakes for a custom Gears of War Gibson electric guitar, accessible via the official Gibson Guitar social media channels.
