Gears of War: E-Day will include Horde Siege, described officially as a 12-player evolution of the series’ wave-based survival mode. If Horde survival is the mode you are waiting for, its inclusion is confirmed; the available material does not explain how the 12 players are divided into squads.

What is confirmed about Horde Siege
The official multiplayer announcement calls Horde Siege a new 12-player evolution of the iconic Gears wave-based survival mode. That confirms both the mode’s inclusion and its broad survival format. It does not provide a full breakdown of objectives, map selection, difficulty, or how a match progresses.
The Steam listing describes choosing Assault, Marksman, Medic, or Breacher and dropping in as a four-player squad to fight the Locust. The listing does not say how that four-player squad relates to the 12-player Horde Siege description, so the complete team structure is Not officially confirmed yet in these materials.
