Gears of War Collection Rumored To Release This Year

A Gears of War collection is rumored to be releasing this year, following in the footsteps of other Xbox remasters like the popular Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Microsoft Game Studios’ third-person shooter hasn’t seen a new iteration since the 2019 launch of Gears of War 5. While Gears of War 6 is rumored to be inbound after The Coalition released an Unreal Engine 5 Demo, there has been no official confirmation as to when the next franchise installment will drop. That said, Xbox’s proven success with Halo: The Master Chief collection might have inspired the development of a remastered collection for Xbox’s other first-party IPs.

Rumors initially emerged in January that Microsoft allegedly has another remastered collection in development. The project involved a different Microsoft IP that would receive a similar treatment to Halo: The Master Chief Collection. Microsoft has kept its lips sealed on the matter, and has not confirmed nor denied the existence of such a collection since. The rumors continued to swirl nonetheless, claiming the Mystery IP would have all of its installments compiled into a single package, with enhanced visuals and other improvements. Though at the time it was just conjecture, the rumors claimed either remasters of Gears of War, Fable, or Forza would be the obvious guesses. However, it seems more likely now that Xbox fans will receive all seven Gears of War games in a single collection.
