The official announcement for the Gears of War collection may arrive at the upcoming Xbox Showcase in June, according to industry sources. While the exact titles included remain unconfirmed, speculation points towards the first three games in the series.
Development on Gears of War: E-Day, the next major installment, continues using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. Recent leaks hint at a possible late 2024 release, but Corden believes a 2026 release is more likely.
