In 2021, The Coalition seemingly parted ways fromGears 5for an unrevealed project on Unreal Engine 5. The project might be a savior for Xbox, since there are rumors about a new console. This project appears to be the nextGears of Wargame, as some Xbox job listings by Microsoft suggest. The speculations arise from thelatest conversationwith insider Jeff Grubb onKinda Funny Xcast.
The first three games in the series revolve around the protagonist, Marcus Fenix, while the next main title follows the story of his son, James Dominic Fenix, and then his friend, Kait Diaz.Cliff Bleszinski, who designed the first three installments, drew inspiration from games likeResident Evil 4,Kill Switch, andBionic Commando.

Despite uncertainties about the game being under development, fans have sparked conversations on the internet. And they appear enthusiastic about it. Some, in fact, say they’d be surprised ifGoWisn’t mentioned anywhere this year.
“I’d be very surprised if 2024 came and went without a mention or look at Gears 6. The game will be that “this is what next-gen is about” moment,”writes a usercalled NateDrake in the gaming forum ResetEra.

Another fan named Doug Dimmadomebelieves that“Gears has always been the best Xbox franchise.” He is not wrong, provided that all the games in the franchise have been received well by critics across the globe. Furthermore, the series is said to have generated $1 billion for the Windows maker.
Both the latest mainline series,Gears of War 4andGears 5,were developed by The Coalition and have collectively sold over 6 million copies worldwide. Last year,a leak suggestedthat the game might arrive in 2026. However, with the latest developments in the news, we may get a glimpse of it this year.
PlayStation in the Shadow of Xbox Is Just Unimaginable for Now
The Xbox Series X/S, which can be considered the pinnacle of Microsoft’s gaming division, is a video game powerhouse. Nevertheless, it still failed to capture the success akin to Sony’s PlayStation 5. Available data highlights that the PS5 has sold 25 million more units than its rival. The brawl between the two began a while back, and PlayStation has won every time it came up with a new console.

It’s just a matter of time for people to get to know if the game is really coming or not. If it is in development, then we can speculate how good it may prove for the company given the enthusiasm among the fans.
