Xbox is really putting its weight behind Gears of War as its flagship series, not only via the upcoming E-Day, but also via a new piece of very special merch. A scale replica of the series’ iconic Lancer, and the way the weapon has been flying off virtual shelves, it’s clear that backing Gears during this new era for Xbox is the right call. Xbox The Prototype Lancer is a perfect replica of the version of the weapon you wield in the Gears games, and I mean perfect. Not only is it a 1:1 replica, but, as described in its listing on the Xbox Game Studios Shop, the Lancer has been recreated using the assetsused to make it in the game. Presumably the ones from E-Day to make it look as realistic as possible. “Every bolt, vent, and weld is completely lore-accurate,” according to the listing, and the Gears realism doesn’t stop at the Lancer just looking the same way it does in the games. This thing weighs six pounds, which means, when you hold it, you’re going to feel like Marcus Fenix as well as looking like him. Yes, a gun this size would weigh a lot more than a newborn baby, but six pounds is still pretty hefty for a replica. The price that comes with owning an official replica of the Lancer that looks this good and weighs this much is a big one. It costs $299.99, which, you might have assumed, would have soured a lot of people on the idea of owning one. Apparently not, as by the time most Gears fans learned of this Lancer’s existence, it had already sold out. The Second Pre-Order Window Is Now Open Xbox Luckily, it seems like Xbox might have been prepared for this. Not only is the Lancer back in stock, but the second wave of replicas will seemingly be made to order, meaning there’s little-to-no risk of them selling out. Instead, Xbox has put a time limit on when you will need to place your pre-orders. The second window is now open and will stay open until 8 pm EST on August 28, 2026. That gives you a full week to decide whether you want to spend $300 on a Gears of War Prototype Lancer Replica. The only downside to missing out on that short-lived first round of pre-orders is you’ll have to wait longer than those who didn’t miss it to get your Lancer. If you bagged a first-round pre-order, your Lancer will ship in November 2026. If you’re pre-ordering between now and August 28, your Lancers won’t ship until February 2027.
