It feels like we've been waiting forever to hear anything about Gears 6, but that wait might also be over! A new rumour suggests the game could potentially make an appearance this summer as part of an early tease.
This is coming from Giant Bomb's Jeff Grubb, who appeared on the Kinda Funny xCast today to reveal what we knows about Gears 6's potential appearance so far. The Verge's Tom Warren appears to have backed it up as well.
"I've heard some stuff might be happening with Gears 6 this summer. So, I think that a tease sounds about right to me... that seems like what we can expect."
Despite this, the hosts (including Jeff) speculated that the next Gears might not be set to launch until the next generation of Xbox rolls around, which presumably would be in around three years' time.
Hopefully we'll find out more this summer, although Grubb did mention that as always, plans can change and there's no guarantee we'll see Gears 6 over the next few months. Still, we're certainly keeping our fingers crossed for a trailer!
Do you think Gears 6 will show up at the Xbox Showcase this year? Tell us in the comments down below.

About bloody time if it's true but please don't be open world!
That screenshot reminds me that The Coalition are absolute wizards with Unreal Engine.
Can't wait to see what they come up with next!
If it's not coming for another few years then i have no doubt it's going to be open world and that would suck. Gears has gotten to the point where i hope for the best but expect the worst unfortunately.
I wouldn't be surprised if we got some teaser for Gears 6, but I also wouldn't be surprised if we got something else from the Coalition too - maybe a Gears Trilogy UE5 remaster that will release sooner whilst they 'work' on the upcoming Gears 6.
Both a Trilogy remaster and a 'new' IP have been rumoured for years too. They did a UE5 demo and worked on the Matrix Demo too and back then, they were 'rumoured' to be working on 'Gears 6' but that that would likely release after their next project which maybe a Gears Trilogy or New IP...
Man it's been ages, I can't wait for a new Gears. I'd also take another Gears Tactics in the meantime. I hope they aren't working on a Gears trilogy remaster, simply because that can be outsourced.
It boggles my mind that MS has, what, 30 studios and theres just 3 confirmed games coming this year (excluding COD and existing Acti-bliz projects). At this rate MS would have released more games on PS5 and Switch than they did on Xbox this year.
I’d rather have a remake of the original 3. No faith in modern Gears having good characters/stories with certain consulting agencies involved.
@Fenbops same here. just give us a master fenix collection like most of us want and call it a day.
This is easily my most anticipated unannounced game! I love playing through Gears with my wife. Xbox better not screw this up and fail to deliver split screen like they did with Halo.
@Fenbops OMG there is a woman in my game! Somebody call the woke police. The story of Gears 5 is way more compelling than 1-3 and Kait is an infinitely better character than Marcus.
Betting it's called 6ears.
Ok great so let's see, based on Microsoft's recent history:
1. The reveal will be a CG trailer.
2. The game will somehow be in early development.
3. No release date will be mentioned.
4. We'll see absolutely NOTHING of the game for at least 3 years.
5.) Right around the time you'd think the game should be nearly done, they'll be an announcement that the team is hiring animators.
6.) Firings at the studio.
7.) A trailer with a release date premiers.
8.) The game's delay is announced.
9.) The game receives another trailer and new release date. A special edition controller is also revealed.
10.) Release day yaaaay!!! 8/10 IGN.
@armondo36 You are correct sir.
@Ricky-Spanish I swear I heard someone whisper your name when I read it.
About dam time.
Gameplay please and make it mean & lean.
@armondo36
Hope you are so wrong, but it’s reminded me to manage my expectations 😊
I hope this is correct. Been a while since I heard something about it. One of my favourite franchises too.
Big if true. But who knows with Grubb

@Fenbops you are absolutely right... She totally is...
I am 100% it will be a masterpiece but i really hope Kait wont be the protagonist again... Or at least not during all the story... She is by far the most boring character in the Gears franchise.
Really looking forward to Gears 6. Gears 5 released in 2019, so in many ways, having to wait 5 years is already too long. The idea that it won't release until 2026 or 2027 is simply ridiculous. Gears of War is one of Xbox's flagship games along with Halo and Forza. No way should we have to wait 8 years between releases. It's no wonder people look at Microsoft, point and laugh. The cadence of such games should be every 4 or 5 years, not 7 or 8. Simply too long.
All that said, I'm really looking forward to Gears 6, though in the meantime I would also love to see the release of the much rumoured Marcus Fenix Trilogy remaster. I would also love to see confirmation of a sequel to Gears Tactics, for which, on Sunday, I earned the achievement for completing it on Insane.
Hopefully we will get confirmation of all 3 pretty soon...

@RBRTMNZ I have my opinion on their influence within gaming and you have yours. You assumed i was those things, you were wrong, that isn’t my problem. Like I said have a good day I have nothing more to say to you x
@Weapon_Wheel same here. I will play Gears 6 when it comes out of course. But i want the Marcus Fenix Collection first and way more. I love the first 3 games and to have the online multiplayer back with full lobbies is my dream Series X game. Hope it get’s revealed with a release date and then they can say something cheesy like but wait there’s more and go into the Gears 6 trailer.
Please no more robots to shoot Jesus
Gears collection this year and Gears 6 next year would be awesome. Or hell, throw them both at us this year lol.
@BAMozzy They was rumor to be working on 2 unannounced games other than gears 6. Both has now been canceled which why they were affected by the layoffs last year. They are now full speed ahead on Gears 6.
Can't wait to see what the coalition do with this series, but why is taking this long to come up with anything?
I too hope they change the lead character. Im happy for it to be a female lead, but I would prefer an interesting one to the one we got..
I do hope we get more than a simple FMV movie, but I'm not holding my breath...
@Fiendish-Beaver 5 is also too much... 5 years with some dlc content between games would be ok.
