The Gears of War franchise is one of Microsoft’s biggest properties but in recent years, news of the chainsaw-wielding franchise has been a little quiet, at least officially.
Not including the 2020 strategy spin-off,Gears Tactics, the last time we’ve had a mainline entry in the series isGears 5which was initially released in 2019 forPCand Xbox One, before receiving a free new-gen update forXboxSeries X/S the following year.

Without giving too much away,Gears 5left us dangling on quite the cliffhanger in a story arc that began withGears 4in 2016 and centred around Kait Diaz. So it makes sense that we’ll get a trilogy of that story that focuses on Kait with the expected arrival ofGears 6, plus itsGears of Warand it will always make money forMicrosoft.

Windows Central journalist Jez Cordenclaimsthat not only couldGears 6be revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase next month on 9 June, but the remastered collection of the original trilogy could take centre stage in an epic combo announcement.
While details onGears 6are vague at this time, we know that it will likely continue Kait’s story, but it is believed that its combat will focus more on melee than previous entries. Yet, the rumoured remastered collection has no mention of the 2013 spin-offGears of War: Judgmentstarring Damon Baird, though just like the Halo collection, new Gears games can be added at a later date.
Of course, these are all rumours at this point, so we should take them with a pinch of salt until proven otherwise. That being said, it will shock no one if Microsoft makes some new Gears of War announcements in due course.
