Renowned Windows Central editor and insider, Jez Corden, has confirmed reports that Microsoft is developing a Gears of War collection. Recent rumors suggested the collection would exclude the franchise's multiplayer mode, a claim Corden verified. Competitive online play won't be included, but cooperative gameplay and the main story campaigns will remain.

The official announcement for the Gears of War collection is rumored to arrive at the upcoming Xbox Showcase in June. While the exact titles remain unconfirmed, speculation points towards the inclusion of the first three Gears of War games.
Development on Gears of War: E-Day, the next major installment, continues using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. Leaks suggest a potential 2024 release, but Corden believes a 2026 release is more likely.
