Speculation suggests that the much-anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection might be made at the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. Though specific details about which titles will be included are still under wraps, insiders believe that the collection may encompass the first three entries in the series.
In other news, 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. Leaks have pointed to a possible release later this year, but Corden leans towards a more realistic 2026 launch window.
