According to industry whispers, an announcement for the highly anticipated Gears of War Collection could be made as early as the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. While specifics on which titles will be included are still under wraps, insiders speculate that the collection may feature 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 hinted at a potential launch later this year, but Corden remains skeptical, suggesting a more likely release window in 2026.
