Incursion is a Gears of War: E-Day mod by Tom Whaley that adds a skin selector and crossover skins from Halo, Warhammer 40,000, and Star Wars.
- The mod bundles skins inspired by Halo Spartans, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines, and Star Wars Clone Troopers, alongside a few Gears skins.
- According to the source, players can swap skins from the main menu or pause menu, and Marcus, Dom, Mags, and Lucas are the characters targeted by the mod.
What happened
IGN reported on October 7, 2026, that the Incursion mod for Gears of War: E-Day adds a central skin selector. According to the report, players can choose skins from the main menu or while playing through the pause menu.
The mod bundles several crossover options into one package. The description mentions Halo Spartans, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines, and Star Wars Clone Troopers, along with a few skins from the Gears series itself. The source names Marcus, Dom, Mags, and Lucas as the characters the skin swaps apply to.
Tom Whaley, who is active online as @Unreal_Dev, is named in the report as the creator of Incursion. In the included tweet, he asks what a Halo version of The Coalition’s game would look like, matching the mod’s theme.
A second source, a tweet from @superhys, describes Incursion as a way to simplify a setup that would normally require multiple mods and manual file swapping. That tweet also points to Nexus Mods for installation instructions and says you need your own copy of Gears of War: E-Day to use the mod.

Background
The available sources place Incursion in the mod scene around Gears of War: E-Day. According to the reporting, the mod is mainly meant to centralize skin swapping rather than add new gameplay systems.
The source explicitly names three outside franchises as inspiration: Halo, Warhammer 40,000, and Star Wars. Within those, it mentions Halo Spartans, Warhammer 40,000 Space Marines, and Star Wars Clone Troopers, plus a few skins that fit the Gears universe.
The provided information does not mention official support from The Coalition or Microsoft. It also does not include full technical requirements or a complete list of every included skin; what is clear is that the mod requires a personal copy of Gears of War: E-Day and that installation is referenced through Nexus Mods.
