Industry whispers suggest that the highly anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection could be made at the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. While details about which titles will be included in the collection remain sparse, insiders speculate that it may encompass the first three entries in the series.
In parallel, 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 hinted at a potential launch later this year, but Corden doubts this timeline, suggesting a more likely release window in 2026.
