We offer Solutions for grouped Mailbox locations to provide protection against all weather conditions.

As most would know the Postal service travels in all weathers. And one of the major elements we compete with is Rain. So our solution to protect our Mail during the elements was the design of covered mail box stations. Our design house can cater to your location and provide not only Rain protection but Sun protection as well. And a great benefit to both sides of the Mail service is less chance of mail getting damaged by water.

Sanctions Policy

Etsy provides a direct connection between buyers and sellers around the world. When you use Etsy’s services (we’ll refer to Etsy.com, Pattern by Etsy, our mobile apps, and other services as our “Services”), you are responsible for complying with this policy, regardless of your location.

This policy is a part of our Terms of Use . By using any of our Services, you agree to this policy and our Terms of Use.

As a global company based in the US with operations in other countries, Etsy must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including, but not limited to, those implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury. This means that Etsy or anyone using our Services cannot take part in transactions that involve designated people, places, or items that originate from certain places, as determined by agencies like OFAC, in addition to trade restrictions imposed by related laws and regulations.

This policy applies to anyone that uses our Services, regardless of their location. It is up to you to familiarize yourself with these restrictions.

For example, these restrictions generally prohibit, but are not limited to, transactions involving:

• Certain geographic areas, such as Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, and the Donetsk People’s Republic (“DNR”) and Luhansk People’s Republic (“LNR”) regions of Ukraine, or any individual or entity operating or residing in those places;
• Individuals or entities identified on sanctions lists such as OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals (“SDN”) List or Foreign Sanctions Evaders (“FSE”) List ;
• Nationals of Cuba, regardless of location, unless citizenship or permanent residency outside of Cuba has been established; and
• Items originating from areas including Cuba, North Korea, Iran, or Crimea, with the exception of informational materials such as publications, films, posters, phonograph records, photographs, tapes, compact disks, and certain artworks.
• Any goods, services, or technology from DNR and LNR with the exception of qualifying informational materials, and agricultural commodities such as food for humans, seeds for food crops, or fertilizers.
• The importation into the U.S. of the following products of Russian origin: fish, seafood, non-industrial diamonds, gold, and any other product as may be determined from time to time by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce.
• The exportation from the U.S., or by a U.S. person, of luxury goods, and other items as may be determined by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce, to any person located in Russia or Belarus.

• Items originating outside of the U.S. that are subject to the U.S. Tariff Act or related Acts concerning prohibiting the use of forced labor.

In order to protect our community and marketplace, Etsy takes steps to ensure compliance with sanctions programs. For example, Etsy prohibits members from using their accounts while in certain geographic locations. If we have reason to believe you are operating your account from a sanctioned location, such as any of the places listed above, or are otherwise in violation of any economic sanction or trade restriction, we may suspend or terminate your use of our Services. Members are generally not permitted to list, buy, or sell items that originate from sanctioned areas. This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location. Members are also generally not permitted to ship items to or from sanctioned areas. Etsy reserves the right to request that sellers provide additional information, disclose an item's country of origin in a listing, or take other steps to meet compliance obligations. It is important that members provide complete and accurate information regarding the origin of items on the Etsy marketplace to ensure compliance with sanctions programs. We may disable listings or cancel transactions that present a risk of violating this policy.

In addition to complying with OFAC and applicable local laws, Etsy members should be aware that other countries may have their own trade restrictions and that certain items may not be allowed for export or import under international laws. You should consult the laws of any jurisdiction when a transaction involves international parties.

Finally, Etsy members should be aware that third-party payment processors, such as PayPal, may independently monitor transactions for sanctions compliance and may block transactions as part of their own compliance programs. Etsy has no authority or control over the independent decision-making of these providers.

The economic sanctions and trade restrictions that apply to your use of the Services are subject to change, so members should check sanctions resources regularly. For legal advice, please consult a qualified professional.

How can I waterproof my mail box (post catcher)?

We have a basket to catch mail which comes through an outdoor security door, like this:

There is an area behind the door which is open to the elements so the mail often gets wet. Does anyone know of a waterproof version of these mail catchers?

A previous tenant fixed a 'waterproof' cover on the top flap but it is ineffective.

• waterproofing

• 5 A picture of the overall door and of the exposed area would be helpful. If you can post them online somewhere and link them here we can embed them for you. –  The Evil Greebo Oct 13, 2012 at 10:39
• I would simply find an adequate sized generic weather proof container and adapt it to the task by cutting a rectangular opening and fastening it to the door. –  bcworkz Oct 13, 2012 at 21:42
• @TheEvilGreebo Thanks. I dont agree with your edit of my question title though - I'm waterproofing the box, not the slot. –  codecowboy Oct 15, 2012 at 12:31
• 1 I see - noted - you know you can edit your question to fix it, right? –  The Evil Greebo Oct 15, 2012 at 15:21
• 2 Is the problem that (a) the mail's wet when it's pushed through the slot; (b) that rain comes through the slot wetting the previously dry mail; or (c) you come through the door with a wet coat and end up shaking water into your previously dry mail? They all have different solutions (a: building a roof over the stoop; b: protecting the mail slot; c: protecting the catchment area) –  Joe Dec 14, 2012 at 19:59

You could purchase a surface mounted letter box similar to this one . Simply cut out a hole in the back face of the letterbox near the top that fits around the existing hole in your exterior security door. Then mount the letter box onto the door in a secure manner.

The means of attachment may require a slight modification from the originally designed method intended for the unit that you purchase.This could happen for boxes that mount on keyhole screw slots like shown below that end up getting cut away by making the hole in the back of the box.

For a box of the type shown above, with the removable front panel, it would be straightforward to access the inside of the rear panel to drill suitable additional holes to mount the box. For letter boxes that do not have easy access to the inside you could resort to using some aluminum angle iron along the sides of the box to make suitable flange to allow screwing to the door.

• 'Simply cut a hole' - in a metal box??? Not simple if a) you don't have the tools and b) you have never cut any metal before. But thanks for your answer. –  codecowboy Oct 15, 2012 at 12:32
• It's pretty simple. All you need is a drill. Maybe a small file to clean it up. –  DA01 Nov 14, 2012 at 16:16
• 1 This might protect the house from the rain ... but wouldn't the mail still get wet? (and possibly even more wet, as the water won't drain away). –  Joe Dec 14, 2012 at 19:56

Screw the mail slot shut and mount a conventional key locking weather tight mail box to the door.

A Guide to Selecting the Best Mailbox Covers

Introduction.

If you're looking to add some personal flair to your mailbox, a mailbox cover is a great option. Not only do they add a unique and decorative touch to your home's curb appeal, but they can also protect your mailbox from the elements. With so many designs and styles to choose from, it can be overwhelming to decide on the right one for your home. In this article, we'll provide some tips on how to choose the perfect mailbox cover for your home.

Consider Your Personal Style

When choosing a mailbox cover, it's important to consider your personal style and the overall aesthetic of your home. Do you prefer a more traditional look, or do you like something more modern and contemporary? Are you looking for a mailbox cover that matches your front door or other outdoor decorations, or do you want something that stands out and makes a statement?

Once you have a good idea of your personal style, it's time to start browsing different designs and styles of mailbox covers. There are many different options to choose from, including covers that feature flowers, animals, landscapes, or abstract designs. You can also find covers with slogans, quotes, or other fun messages.

Consider the Size of Your Mailbox

Before purchasing a mailbox cover, it's important to make sure that it will fit your mailbox properly. Most mailbox covers are designed to fit standard-sized mailboxes, but it's still a good idea to measure your mailbox to ensure that the cover will fit properly.

In addition to the overall size of the mailbox cover, you'll also want to consider the size of the opening for the mail. The opening should be large enough to easily insert and retrieve mail without damaging the cover or getting it stuck.

Consider the Material

Mailbox covers are made from a variety of materials, including vinyl, plastic, and fabric. Each material has its own unique benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to consider which one will work best for your needs.

Vinyl mailbox covers are a popular option because they are durable and waterproof, making them ideal for protecting your mailbox from the elements. They are also easy to clean and maintain, and they come in a wide range of colors and designs.

Plastic mailbox covers are another popular option, and they are often less expensive than vinyl covers. They are also waterproof and easy to clean, but they may not be as durable as vinyl covers.

Fabric mailbox covers are a more decorative option, and they are available in a wide range of patterns and designs. They are not as durable as vinyl or plastic covers, and they may not provide as much protection from the elements, but they can add a unique and personalized touch to your mailbox.

Consider the Season

When choosing a mailbox cover, it's also important to consider the season. If you live in an area with extreme weather conditions, you'll want to choose a cover that can withstand harsh winds, snow, and rain. In areas with milder climates, you may be able to choose a more decorative cover that doesn't offer as much protection from the elements.

Choosing the right mailbox cover for your home can add a personal touch and improve your home's curb appeal. By considering your personal style, the size of your mailbox, the material, and the season, you can find the perfect mailbox cover for your home.

Fans go nuts after india pulls off shock win over pakistan at cricket world cup match in new york: ‘bigger than the super bowl’.

• View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Just how big was the India-Pakistan T20 Cricket World Cup match Sunday at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium? 

Let’s hear it from Basit Qadri, a 29-year-old Pakistan fan who came from Baltimore just to stand outside the gates with a bunch of pals and watch the action from afar. 

“Think of it as a Super Bowl — bigger than that,” he insisted. “That’s what it is.”

All around Eisenhower Park fans were ecstatic just to be there, to see perhaps the greatest sports rivalry in the world play out in New York. 

By the end, India fans — who outnumbered Pakistan fans at the stadium, perhaps 10-to-1 — were absolutely gaga after their team pulled off a shocking 119-113 to win.

At one point, India had less than a 2% statistical chance of winnings and fans were streaming out of the stadium early.

“Pakistan are cruising to victory. It’s going to be a comfortable win for them,” said Jashan Kalra, 24, a product analyst from Long Island City, Queens, who sported a blue India cricket jersey. 

“And I also didn’t want to see — there’s no animosity or anything — but I didn’t want to see the Pakistani fans rejoicing and rubbing it in our faces. So just trying to avoid that and walk with my head held high as much as possible.”

Head held high, but he also missed the thrilling conclusion of the match for India.

“In the beginning, we thought it was impossible but they really pulled it out towards the end. … Fans were very excited, especially towards the end,” said Arsh Singh, an India supporter who left his home in Woodbridge, New Jersey, at 6 a.m. to make sure he got to the stadium in time.

“Stomping going on. I was a little concerned that the scaffolding might not hold up but it did well.“

Hem Nerkar, 51, who came from Cary, North Carolina, said: “I’ve never seen such amazing energy. Always expected with India-Pakistan games. Fantastic energy.”

But, he added — nobody was expecting India to win like that.

Recent Harvard graduates Kartikeya Bhatotia, 27, and Aashish Khullar, 37, both Indian nationals living in Boston, said they were thrilled to see the longstanding rivalry come to the US.

“[I’m] pretty excited,” Aashish told The Post. “Yeah, actually it’s kind of cool to come and see the stadium. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an international cricket game in a stadium.”

The pair bought opposing jerseys as they walked through the stadium’s nearly-full parking lot, with Kartikeya buying a green Pakistan jersey and Aashish buying an orange and blue Indian jersey.

“Even if it’s not about cricket, India v. Pakistan has always been a cultural thing so it’s nice to see it in person,” Kartikeya said.

There seemed to be a 90-10 split between fans, with India supporters far outnumbering those of Pakistan.

Never miss a story.

Kashif Sheriz, 49, flew to the Big Apple from the UK just to see the highly coveted match.

“We’re here to support Pakistan all the way from London,” Sheriz said, wearing a green Pakistan jersey he bought outside the stadium. “It’s going to be a tough match, it’s going to be a good match, it’s going to be an exciting match. But this is the team that’s going to win. Green all the way.”

Sheriz lauded Long Island — and the US — for welcoming cricket into the country with open arms.

[“It’s] amazing here. Good atmosphere. You guys are so hospitable and I hope the Americans take upon the people of cricket and I hope enjoy it as much as we and enjoy it,” he said, adding, “And America is doing well. America beat Pakistan, so, you know. Between the fans we don’t have any rivalry — it’s only on the pitch. When the game starts, that’s where it’s all going to kick in.”

Excited fans donned wigs, signs, flags and other merchandise in support of their teams, with many fans showing up bright and early to claim a spot in the parking lot — which an attendant said had met half-capacity by 8 a.m.

“F—ing crazy but it’s good stuff — good vibes,” a parking lot attendant told The Post.

Joe La Porta, 32, with girlfriend Yesha Vayda came from Albany to watch the match decked out in India jerseys.

“This is my first match…and [my girlfriend] she’s really into cricket,” La Porta said.

“I got myself into it since last year with the World Cup so I’m going to my first match here for T20. I’m really excited. We got lucky that we’re just a three-hour drive down here that we can actually go see something like this.”

“I haven’t been to a cricket match in 10 years,” Yesha said, adding that she was excited to see India team caption Rohit Sharma, who she says was her classmate in India.

“It’s going to be a great match. I think India is going to win for sure. Let’s go India.”

Groups of cricket enthusiasts rooting on both India and Pakistan clung to the gates outside the stadium as the close match unfolded inside, now and then erupting into cheers as music pulsated from the arena. 

Bobby Mehra, 49, and Arjun Singh, 45, both banking technology specialists cheering on India, left the game early in hopes of beating traffic back to Summit, New Jersey. 

“We’re going home,” Bobby said. “We’re going back to Jersey. It’s going to be a madhouse with traffic. It was a tough match.”

Despite what will surely be a long drive home, the two were thrilled to have watched a cricket match so close to home. 

“It’s an amazing feeling,” Bobby, who was born in India said. “It’s the energy in and of itself.” 

“The game of cricket, in the U.S., people don’t know. Suddenly seeing all the people from all over the U.S. in the stadium. It’s important to have the people.” 

The India vs. Pakistan match, part of the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 tournament, follows  a stunning U.S. win against Pakistan  on Thursday.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.

Reinventing A Mad World: Why Gears of War: E-Day Represents the Future of the Series

• Check out the brutal new trailer for Gears of War: E-Day , unveiled today during the Xbox Games Showcase  
• Gears of War: E-Day is an origin story that depicts the horror of Locust invasion on Emergence Day through the eyes of Marcus Fenix 
• Developers at The Coalition share further details on how this long-awaited origin story is being built from the ground up in Unreal Engine 5 

Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled in a surprise announcement during the Xbox Games Showcase today, alongside an explosive trailer that takes us all the way back to Emergence Day. The trailer introduces us to this defining moment in the Gears of War series that sees the fearsome Locust make themselves known with a brutal ambush from below against the world of Sera. Here, we’ll follow younger versions of the series’ original heroes, Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, as they begin their fight against the Locust invasion. This event is the catalyst for everything we know and love about Gears of War, and I caught up with developers at The Coalition to find out why now is the perfect time to tell that story.  

Speaking to Creative Director Matt Searcy and Brand Director Nicole Fawcette, I find that the vibe inside The Coalition is ecstatic – the team is absolutely thrilled to finally be sharing E-Day with the world. Over the last few years, the studio has remained purposefully quiet but continuously busy, wrapping up Gears 5 , shipping its Hivebusters DLC and Gears Tactics , all the while adapting to the Covid pandemic and its changes to how studios are run. During that time, the shift in rhythm allowed the team some time to reflect, figuring out what they, and fans, were truly passionate about in order to find the next great Gears story.  

“We realized that a lot of the words we use to describe the franchise were what our fans also use, phrases like brotherhood, brutality, pathos, awe” says Searcy. “Why E-Day?  That’s the moment it all comes together. It’s the heart of the Gears universe. Everything that happens is shaped by this day.”  

Fans of those mainline Gears of War games can expect to feel at home with how Gears of War: E-Day feels. The Coalition is working to recreate and improve the series’ trademark third-person action, charging between cover in life-or death situations, all set within an explosive campaign that combines satisfying gameplay and emotive, character-led storytelling. However, all this is told through a modern lens, and rooted in groundbreaking technology, giving The Coalition room to really build out those elements. It’s a careful balance – a classic Gears of War game that feels authentic next to the original, but with truly next-gen tech behind it. 

“It’s going to feel like a new Gears game, because that’s what it is,” Searcy says. “It’s us revisiting the tone and the feeling of what makes Gears great, but we’re tapping into new techniques, new processes, and new technology that’s going to make the gameplay feel better than ever. It’s going to be awesome, a game that feels both truly new, and authentically Gears.”  

Bringing the Monsters Back

Gears of War : E-Day is set 14 years before the events of the original Gears of War and tells the story of the first Locust emergence on Sera. As the game unfolds, we’ll get to see how an ill-prepared world responds to a threat like the Locust. The Coalition are being very intentional to recast the Locusts not simply as foes but as living nightmares. These aren’t your typical alien or zombie videogame antagonists; they’re mysterious, formidable creatures that dwell beneath the earth, tapping into our deepest fears. “The design brief was pretty simple,” explains Searcy. “Locust are the ‘monsters under the bed.’ What would happen to the people of Sera in seeing this overwhelming army of monsters and trying to figure out…what are you going to do?” 

Studio Art Director Aryan Hanbeck explains further, “When players experience E-Day , they see the monsters through the eyes of those encountering them for the first time.” The design team prioritized redefining the Locust Drone, which had slowly become mere cannon fodder as the series progressed. “We transformed the drone into something fearsome, physically intimidating, and utterly brutal,” Hanbeck notes, highlighting its enhanced status just behind Marcus and Dom in the announce trailer. “Getting the drone right was crucial; everything else with the Locust we’re scaling up from there.” 

A Tale of Origins

  The E-Day reveal trailer wastes no time in reintroducing us to Marcus, as he engages in a brutal struggle with the aforementioned Locust Drone. However, unlike our previous outings with him, this is the first time that the seasoned horde-sawing soldier we all know has faced off against an enemy like this. You can feel the strain and helplessness as he jousts with this inexplicable monstrosity – before finally fending it off not with his Retro Lancer, but a nearby television set. It’s this flavour of raw, personal brutality and desperation that The Coalition seeks to capture in Gears of War: E-Day – Marcus, and the world around him, are not yet equipped for this level of threat.  

The eagle-eyed fans among you may have also noticed that the MK 1 Lancer that Marcus briefly wields in the trailer features a detachable bayonet – it’s not the chainsaw-equipped gun we know from the wider series.    

Fawcette confirms to me that E-Day is a “story of many origins,” including the Chainsaw Lancer, but opts to keep the specifics of those stories to herself for now. Suffice it to say, we’re not just learning how Marcus and Dom came to be the heroes we know in E-Day.   

“[The Chainsaw Lancer] doesn’t currently exist in that period… but it’s not a Gears game if you’re not chainsawing Locusts!” Fawcette laughs. 

Fans will also immediately recognise the trailer’s inclusion of ‘Mad World’, the Tears for Fears track famously covered by Gary Jules and used in commercials for the original Gears of War games. Composer Adam Lastiwka has masterfully reimagined the iconic “Mad World” track for the Gears of War: E-Day trailer, crafting an original instrumental that enhances Gary Jules’ haunting cover and aligns perfectly with the game’s darker, grittier themes.  

This instrumental cover plays out as Marcus and Dom gaze out into the Locust-decimated ruins of the city – a callback to the profound emotional depth of the landmark 2006 commercial. Unlike typical video game promotions of its time, this ad stood out by portraying its hero as vulnerable and isolated, sharply contrasting with the over-the-top marketing norms of that era. 

“Re-licensing the music was just the beginning,” Fawcette remarked. “The original Mad World commercial resonates because it portrayed a heroism rooted in vulnerability, not invincibility. We wanted to explore all the elements that made that ad memorable and impactful.” This reflection shaped the approach, ensuring the trailer did more than just evoke nostalgia. “Our goal was to explore and reinvigorate the foundational ideas of the series.” 

As Marcus teeters on the edge in a fierce close-quarters battle with the Locust, he swiftly outsmarts the Drone by planting the Lancer into the wall, disengaging the bayonet and downing his foe with a kill shot. He takes a moment to recuperate, before plummeting through the floorboards to what would presumably be his death at the behest of a giant emergence hole. We’ve not seen E-Holes since Gears of War: Judgement and watching this cavernous void swallow up an entire building with ease is particularly terrifying. However, in this moment, we see the reveal of a young Dom Santiago reaching out to help him up, and for longtime fans, it’s an emotional homecoming like no other.  

The Beginnings of Brotherhood  

This story is of course, told from the perspectives of a much younger Marcus and Dom. While the pair are seasoned veterans of the Pendulum Wars (the human conflict taking place before the series begins), this is a wholly new threat for the pair to navigate: “The best Gears games have these super emotional themes around shared burden, belonging, trust and loyalty, and Marcus and Dom have a really interesting relationship going into E-Day ,” Searcy says.  

 To give some background context leading into the story of E-Day , Marcus and Dom are connected through Dom’s older brother, Carlos, who died on the battlefield with Marcus. The pair were best friends, so Marcus and Dom are in the early stages of forming a kinship over a shared loss and navigating those emotions together.  

“We’re telling the origin story of Marcus and Dom and their bond… this is the bond that defines the franchise,” Searcy adds. “They’re not the characters we know from Gears 1 to 3 . They don’t have 10 years of fighting the Locust between them. When the game opens, there’s supposed to be peace on Sera, and they’re trying to figure out life without this person they both loved.”  

“People are going to see the formation of this brotherhood that is so iconic to Gears.”  

Dealing with the new Locust threat becomes the more pressing concern for the two friends over the course of E-Day , but those emotional beats will still course through the story as you play. Fawcette says this is particularly exciting:  

“They are a lot more vulnerable, and I think that’s a really modern take on those two characters,” Fawcette explains. “There’s a weight they carry between them, and that creates a really interesting tension as they navigate their own relationship.  

“You have this intimate story set amid this wider backdrop of what’s happening on this apocalyptic day. I think, for fans, it’ll be really compelling to dig deep and explore their bond and how it changes over time.”  

From The Ground Up  

 Key to The Coalition’s vision is that, in another nod to the original game, E-Day won’t just be a marvel of gameplay and storytelling – but of technology, too. Game development has come a long way since the first Gears of War game and The Coalition, equipped with Unreal Engine 5, is prepared to take full advantage of this evolution to set new standards in technical prowess.  

When the original Gears of War launched, its “Mad World” trailer was nothing short of a revelation. Rendered entirely in-engine, it set a new benchmark for what gamers could expect directly from their gameplay experience—a rarity at a time when the chasm between cinematic trailers and actual game graphics was notably wide. Epic Games’ use of their own Unreal Engine not only showcased their confidence in the game’s visual and performance capabilities but also boldly declared the engine’s power.  

The Coalition is honoring this legacy with the Gears of War: E-Day reveal trailer, powered by Unreal Engine 5.  

“With the advancements in Unreal Engine 5, the leap in technical capabilities is tremendous,” explains Kate Rayner, Studio Technical Director at The Coalition. This includes over 100 times more environment and character details than Gears 5 , hardware raytraced lighting, reflections and shadows, next generation destruction and gore, and cutting-edge animation technology, to name just a few of the countless improvements that will make Gears of War: E-Day an unrivalled visual experience.  

“Our ambition is to, once again, set a new standard in technical excellence,” Rayner adds. “We have fully modernized gears from the ground up, infusing the DNA of Gears with the full capabilities of modern gaming technology. Every character, environment, and animation in ‘ Gears of War: E-Day ‘ has been completely rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, allowing us to portray the Gears universe with unprecedented detail and fidelity.” 

 “The original ‘Mad World’ trailer made a real statement by using in-engine footage. We’re pushing that even further with Unreal Engine 5,” Rayner continues. “Our goal with the announcement trailer was to highlight our commitment to pushing the boundaries of both storytelling and technology in gaming.” 

Fawcette adds: “When you look at Marcus and Dom from the original games, they’re big beefy tanks, exaggerated in their design. As you’ve seen in the trailer, you can see how these guys have really come to life as human characters [in E-Day].”  

The Future of Gears   

  Of course, this isn’t the end of other ongoing stories in the Gears series – the team is content with the stories told in Gears 4 and Gears 5 and is by no means abandoning them, but the collective passion for such an iconic origin story was simply too great to ignore. The story of E-Day and the origins of Marcus and Dom are such powerful, pivotal events that The Coalition couldn’t wait to tell it.   

“We’re super proud about Gears 4 and Gears 5 and the stories that were told,” Fawcette adds. “We’re not retreating from that storyline in any way. But in [this] moment, we had an opportunity to write our next step, and this one just felt too good to miss.”  

It’s also important to note that E-Day is not a spin-off, it’s a completely new entry to the mainline series, set earlier in the timeline. The events of the game not only serve as an exciting origin tale of two beloved characters, but it also adds detail and context to this period that will resonate through stories that will follow. In E-day, the Locust are not foes that our characters are accustomed to fighting. They are mysterious, formidable and overwhelming – an unforeseen horror that Marcus, Dom, and the rest of Sera must learn to deal with before it’s too late. Everything that happens in E-Day will shape the future of Gears of War for the better.  

This is the Gears of War story you’ve always wanted to hear, and it’s going to be incredible. To keep up to date with ongoing news about Gears of War: E-Day, follow @GearsofWar on X.
