Gears of War: E-Day won't have ranked multiplayer matches until October 13

Early access to Gears of War: E-Day begins this Thursday, October 1, for those who buy the Premium Edition. However, some features won't be available until a few days later.

In a blog post, The Coalition stated that online ranked modes won’t be available until October 13. The studio wants to give players enough time to familiarize themselves with the maps, the various modes, and the game’s gameplay before diving into competitive play.

Note that Season 1, which launches today, will last eight weeks. There will be at least five seasons following the game’s release.
