Renowned Windows Central editor and insider Jez Corden has confirmed reports that Microsoft is developing a Gears of War collection. Recent rumors suggested the collection would omit the franchise's multiplayer mode, a claim Corden verified. Competitive online play will be absent, but cooperative gameplay and the main story campaigns will remain.

An announcement for the Gears of War Collection is rumored for the upcoming Xbox Showcase in June. While the specific games included remain unconfirmed, speculation points to the first three entries in the series.
Development on the next main entry, Gears of War: E-Day, continues using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. Leaks suggest a possible 2024 release, but Corden believes a 2026 release is more likely.
