Xbox announced its Xbox Games Showcase in June, which will feature a special Gears of War E-Day direct
The last Sunday before the World Cup is already booked.

Spring is just getting started, and Xbox is already looking ahead. The company has already announced the first details of its summer showcase, which will feature the sound of chainsaws in the Gears of War lancers.
The Xbox Games Showcase will take place on Sunday, June 7, and will be followed by a Gears of War: E-Day Direct presentation. The showcase will feature “first looks at gameplay and major announcements regarding upcoming titles from our first-party studios across the Xbox family, as well as our third-party partners around the globe—from the biggest franchises to soon-to-be indie darlings.” Meanwhile, the Gears of War: E-Day Direct “will take players into the start of Emergence Day, offering new details, gameplay, and insights about the highly anticipated origin story of the Gears of War saga,” according to Xbox Wire.
Two shows back-to-back. One epic day of games.
