Industry whispers suggest that the much-anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection could be made as early as the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. Although details about which titles will be included in the collection are still under wraps, 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 possible launch later this year, but Corden expresses skepticism about such timing, suggesting a more likely release window of 2026.
