Industry whispers suggest that the highly anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection could be made as early as the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. Although specifics about which titles will be included 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 hinted at a potential launch later this year, but Corden leans towards a more cautious 2026 release window.
