Renowned insider and editor of Windows Central, Jez Corden, has officially confirmed that Microsoft is actively developing the Gears of War Collection. Recent speculation suggested this compilation might exclude the franchise's iconic multiplayer mode, and Corden has verified these claims, stating that players won’t have access to competitive online play.

According to industry whispers, the highly anticipated announcement for the Gears of War Collection could be unveiled at 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 encompass the first three entries in the series.
In parallel, 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 hinted at a potential launch later this year, but Corden expresses skepticism about such timing, suggesting a more likely release window in 2026.
