Gears of War: E-Day isn’t coming to the PS5

《战争机器：事变日》（Gears of War: E-Day）将不会登陆 PS5

Apparently, the “return of Xbox” means a retreat from other platforms. At its Xbox Games Showcase today, Microsoft revealed that Gears of War: E-Day — which was previously rumored for a PS5 launch in addition to Xbox and PC — will not be coming to PlayStation. It’ll be an Xbox console exclusive and is launching on October 6th.

显然，“Xbox 的回归”意味着从其他平台撤退。在今天的 Xbox 游戏发布会上，微软透露《战争机器：事变日》将不会登陆 PlayStation 平台——此前曾有传言称该作除了 Xbox 和 PC 外还将登陆 PS5。本作将作为 Xbox 主机独占游戏，并于 10 月 6 日正式发售。

The announcement was preceded by a trailer, which opened with a street-level view of an alien attack, with the extraterrestrial invaders being fought off in an urban landscape, including an electronics store and grocery shop. It looked like familiar Gears gameplay: lots of blood and lots of cover. It also may have been our first look at a Gears soldier wearing tight blue jeans, which was a nice, casual touch.

在公告发布前，官方展示了一段预告片。预告片以街头视角展现了一场外星袭击，外星入侵者在包括电子产品店和杂货店在内的城市景观中被击退。这看起来是熟悉的《战争机器》玩法：大量的血腥场面和掩体射击。此外，这可能也是我们第一次看到穿着紧身牛仔裤的《战争机器》士兵，这是一个不错的休闲化细节。

The Gears franchise made its PlayStation debut last year with the Gears of War: Reloaded remake, which was a continuation of Microsoft’s multiplatform strategy. However, ever since a major executive shake-up that saw Asha Sharma take over as the division’s new CEO, signs have been pointing toward a return to Xbox exclusives — which is something fans have been asking for. And today’s E-Day news is the clearest sign yet that Xbox is moving in that direction.

《战争机器》系列去年凭借《战争机器：重装上阵》（Gears of War: Reloaded）重制版首次登陆 PlayStation，这是微软多平台战略的延续。然而，自从高层大换血、Asha Sharma 接任该部门新任 CEO 以来，种种迹象都表明 Xbox 正在回归独占策略——这也是粉丝们一直所呼吁的。而今天关于《事变日》的消息，则是 Xbox 正朝着这一方向迈进的最明确信号。

Correction: A previous version of this story said that E-Day was originally announced for the PS5, but it was actually a long-running rumor.

更正： 本文的早期版本称《事变日》最初宣布登陆 PS5，但实际上这只是一个流传已久的传闻。
