Microsoft showed the campaign trailer for Gears of War: E-Day tonight at a live show in Germany.

The company made the announcement during Opening Night Live, Geoff Keighley’s show at Gamescom in Germany. The game is coming as an Xbox exclusive on October 6.

The trailer tells the story about the valiant attempts to defend Sera as the Locust horde crawls out of their holes and invades the planet in an overwhelming surprise attack. Bravo Squad with Marcus Fenix and Dom, the young Gears, is one of the last lines of defense.
