The Gears of War series is one of Xbox’s flagship brands alongside the likes of Halo and Forza Motorsport, and recently the second entry in the chainsaw duelling series has celebrated its 15th anniversary.

As aGears of Warfan, I also look back on the series very fondly. In fact, I recently replayed all five numbered entries, and now I’ve even started to replayGears of War: Judgement. If someone was to ask me which is my favourite in the series, I’d be torn between the second and third game.

However, I was a little disappointed when I saw the official Gears of War social media pages celebrate the 15th anniversary of the sequel because I had hoped that we’d finally get aGears of War 2: Ultimate Edition, as we did for the 2015, remaster of the original game. There have been rumours of a remastered collection for theoriginal Gears of War trilogy, but sadly, those rumours are yet to come to fruition. We are at least getting aGears of War animation and live-action movieon Netflix. The latter of which could haveZack Snyder at the helm.
Regardless of theGears of War 2: Ultimate Editionno-show, fans on Reddit have been discussing their love for the sequel. “Fifteen years ago we only had one option: attack. HappyGears of War 2anniversary, Gears. Celebrating 15 years,”rejoicedTurbostrider27, sharing a tweet from the official Twitter account for Gears of War.

“Still the peak of the series, imo. I’d love an Unreal Engine 5 remake. What a great time it was for shooter fans 15 years ago,” replied KesMonkey. “Chairman Prescott’s speech will never be topped,” reminisced hairy_bipples.“I pre-ordered the Limited Edition and got the midnight release bonuses. Played the absolute hell out of that campaign and multiplayer on those cold evenings/nights. It was a different time and I loved every minute of it,” remembered TheNewATeam.
There have been rumours that the next entry in this series will beGears 6, but I think it’s fair to say thatGears of War 2most certainly deserves that Ultimate Edition treatment for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Come on Microsoft, make it happen!
