Gears Of War Voice Actor Reckons We're Due A 'Gears 6' Announcement In June

Thats great and all but i want to see Marcus Fenix collection to hold us over for 2 years while Gears 6 is in development. It will catch up new players in time for the show. Many people have said they have seen it and it’s in play testing. So i am not sure why it’s not been confirmed or denied yet by MS. June showcase should tell us. If it’s not there it ain’t coming. They don’t need it in 25 if Gears 6 is coming in 26.

I'm good. I've seen enough CG trailers for games that won't come out for 4 years lol

My hope is that we see a shadow-drop of the Marcus Fenix remasters in June, @HonestHick, and that they will announce that Gears 6 will be out in September 2025. That's my hope, anyway. Being at the tender age of 60 now, and with arthritic fingers, I want all the games to release as soon as possible, before my fingers, and my reactions, fail me and hinder my solo Insane run... 😂

The Coalition's announcement timing in the past was announce at E3, release during the Fall the following year. Gears of War 4 was announced at E3 2015 and released in October 2016 meanwhile Gears 5 was announced at E3 2018 with September 2019 release date.

So this timeline would suggest that Gears 6 releases Fall 2025. Maybe there's some truth to the 2026 next gen rumours considering Gears 5 acted as the final major release before Series X|S.

I still think a Marcus Fenix Trilogy will come and potentially before Gears 6. Gears 2 & 3 never had an Official PC port so I think it makes sense to release a UE5 remake of these so that you have the complete Gears on all their Platforms.

To be honest, I would prefer that to a 'new' Gears 6. Gears 4 & 5 were 'good', but missing some of the Horror, the emotional impact etc the Trilogy gave us.

I do t want a damn remake we need to fix the story and start over from gears 4 move all the new characters to judgment series

@HonestHick I really don't understand why they've not released a collection yet it seems like a no brainer hopefully this is finally the year but I'm not holding my breath.

Just give me remasters of the original trilogy.
Couldn't care less about any new entries in the series, after the last two.

I would rather see a total reboot of the franchise.
Bring back the testosterone and horror.

@Fiendish-Beaver i hear ya there. I am hoping we see it. It’s been rumored for a long time and would hold us over until Gears 6. As a bonus i want to know if they are still coming out with the new controller. How cool would it be to hear the chainsaw on the controller. With better haptics. June Showcase is going to either have me sitting on the moon or crying under the covers in bed HAHA

@Rangers420 yeah i know what you mean. The Halo collection did well over the years for them and we Gears fan have been asking for this for years now. It would be a great way to get people excited for the show and of course bring the games to PC. Just seems like a huge win. June should answer our questions.

Why do people keep asking for Remasters when the original Trilogy is not only completely playable on Series X|S, but also enhanced?! They still hold up quite well!

I think that's kind of the nice part about the Xbox ecosystem: Microsoft enhances the old games for free and rarely charges for a remaster (there are some small exceptions like Gears of War Ultimate and Halo MCC - but that was long before backwards compatibility enhancements we really a thing - and the Quake games).

Anyways, I am hoping we got some Gears 6 news this year - though I will be curious how they handle the "Sophie's Choice" made at the end of Gears 5.

If it's a new game I'll play it. Don't have time for remasters/remakes.

I haven't hated Gears 4 and 5 as much as others, but I'm kinda at the point where i want Gears 6 to come out just to get this trilogy over with so we can move on to a new and hopefully better story in future games.

Gets announced in June, releases 3 years later.

@GamingFan4Lyf Revitalizing the multiplayer. There's very few people around in the 360 originals (mostly bot only lobbies) and if you do find larger lobbies, there's usually a cheater problem (360 online in general has a problem with cheaters nowadays).

Gears 6 would be awesome.

@Grumblevolcano I see. I don't play multiplayer so...what's wrong with just playing Gears 4 or Gears 5 multiplayer? It's the same thing, isn't it: pew pew pew other player and be toxic to everyone in voice chat?

I never understood how some people prefer multiplayer to one game in a series to the other as they all look the same to me with the same objectives only different weapon/character skins.

I for one am pumped for a new Gears and I’ll also be super pumped for a remastered collection. So it’s a win win for me no matter what the announcement is. Can never get enough of Gears…

Truthfully, Rangers420, I wouldn't be surprised if the delay weren't down to the recent change in policy from Microsoft, and them deciding to prepare this trilogy for the PlayStation too. It would not shock me in the slightest if it did not release on both platforms at the same time...

@GamingFan4Lyf

It’s not. There are always differences in different iterations. Not to mention, new releases are much easier to find games for your skill level. The longer a game is out, the more the people sticking around playing it are of a higher skill set. So new players or mediocre players will have a much harder time finding matches with similar skilled players.

The games do hold up to this day, @GamingFan4Lyf. I played them recently. However, the could be much better, just as the remaster of the first game improved that one. Little things like not being able to tag weapons and enemies in 2 and 3 are missing, and that's before you get to the games simply looking and playing better.

Would new games be preferable? Yes. Absolutely. However, there will be many, many people who won't have played the original games because they would be considered old now, so bringing out remastered versions would entice a whole load of new and returning players to jump into / back into the series...

@Fiendish-Beaver

Yeah, I don’t see that at all. If MS were going to release a Gears collection on PS, I would bet my life it would be after the Xbox release, at least 6-9 months. No way does MS go from releasing games like Grounded and Sea of Thieves to dropping a Gears release day 1 on PS alongside Xbox. Not a chance. Not even with a remastered collection. And no way do they actually delay the Xbox version to make that happen. We clearly have 2 very different ideas on just what this change in policy for Xbox really is. Guess time will tell…

We are here for Gears and can’t wait for Gears 6 and should be late 2025.

As for a remake trilogy, being honest I don’t think it is needed and you are better off putting every bit of resource on Gears 6

Do not forget poor Xbox developers don’t get the luxury of Sony and Nintendo developers of producing a game for one console.
They have to deal with series s and x, PC and all cloud devices stuff.
This has been Xbox studios down fall this generation in creating amazing big AAA games.
Too many devices to focus on at once and not making the most of the series x hardware capabilities.

At my most pessimistic, I see it releasing at the same time, @RIghteousNixon, and it is the fact that this collection has been rumoured for going on two years now that has me going full-on conspiracy mode with the PlayStation.

When my head is on straight, I think 6 to 12 months is the more likely occurrence, not because that is what Microsoft would like to do, but because they know there it would lead to uproar among the majority of the Xbox community (that follow these things), even among those that don't play Gears of War themselves, were they to do it day and date.

Regardless, I do see it crossing over to the PlayStation in the not too distant future...

@Fiendish-Beaver

Agreed on the reason why. MS got a good look at what the community thinks about bringing big exclusives over to PS. It’s basically brand suicide to do so at this point. Could they be easing people into the idea by releasing titles like Grounded and Sea of Thieves first and then slowly moving to bigger titles? It’s certainly possible, but I don’t think it’s gonna happen personally. I think at the most, we might see some titles from Bethesda or ABK, simply because they can fall back on the excuse that they said it would be looked at on a title by title basis, but even those I am skeptical about.

Actual big name exclusives for Xbox like Gears, Halo, Forza, etc.? Yeah, I just don’t see it happening. It will only cause long term damage to the Xbox brand itself in exchange for some short term profits. MS is about to leapfrog over Sony in overall gaming revenue soon enough, even without releasing those kinds of games on PS. It just doesn’t make sense to me from a business perspective, especially after seeing the Xbox communities overall response to the idea. Again, it’s basically brand suicide at this point. Wether Xbox can slowly bring people over to the idea by testing a few bigger releases remains to be seen. My guess would be no. IMO, this will remain a thing that Xbox does with live service games or smaller kinds of games like Ori, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment.

There have already been rumors of Xbox losing some 3rd party support. Even if a small percentage of Xbox gamers walked away right now, it could have massive implications on the overall brand itself. MS needs to see growth with Xbox, not people switching to PS. It could very well start a spiral that could literally be the death of the brand. As an overall risk assessment, I just don’t see the short term profits from a few games being worth it. It would be one thing if MS were in desperate need of some short term profits, but as we both know, that is far far from the case.

Again, time will tell…

I’m just really excited for the June showcase. I know it’s just a few months away, but I can’t help but get excited about it! All these talks of which games could potentially show up just fuels my excitement even more.

I really hope Microsoft reveals a few new projects and give a couple of updates on some games that were revealed a few years ago and then went radio silent. I feel like that all I’ve been hearing from reports are bad things coming about with their currently in-development games (most notably the Perfect Dark reboot and Everwild) but I’m hopeful that they will turn out well in the end!
