According to industry whispers, the highly anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection could be made as early as the upcoming Xbox Showcase event in June. While specifics about which titles will be included in the collection are still under wraps, insiders speculate that it may feature the first three entries in the series.

Meanwhile, development on the next major installment, Gears of War: E-Day, is progressing using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Recent leaks have hinted at a potential launch later this year, but Corden believes a 2026 release window is more likely.
