Industry whispers hint that the much-anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection might occur as early as the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. Although specific details about the included titles are limited, insiders believe the collection may encompass the first three entries in the series.
Simultaneously, development on the next major installment, Gears of War: E-Day, is progressing using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Recent leaks have suggested a potential release later this year, but Corden expresses skepticism about this timeline, suggesting a more likely release window in 2026.
