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

The official announcement for the Gears of War Collection may arrive as early as the upcoming Xbox Showcase in June, according to industry sources. While the specific games included remain unconfirmed, speculation points towards the first three entries in the series.
Development on the next main installment, Gears of War: E-Day, continues using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. Recent leaks hint at a potential 2024 release, but Corden believes a 2026 release is more likely.
