According to industry whispers, the highly anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection could arrive during the upcoming Xbox Showcase event scheduled for June. Although specifics about which titles will be part of the collection remain unclear, insiders believe it may encompass the first three installments of the series.
In other developments, work on the next major entry in the franchise, titled Gears of War: E-Day, is progressing using Unreal Engine 5 for both PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Recent leaks hint at a possible launch later this year; however, Corden expressed skepticism about this timeline, suggesting a more likely release in 2026.
