Renowned insider and editor of Windows Central, Jez Corden, has officially confirmed that Microsoft is actively working on the Gears of War Collection. Recent rumors hinted at this compilation, and Corden has verified that it will indeed be released without the franchise's iconic multiplayer mode. However, fans can still look forward to cooperative gameplay alongside the main story campaigns.

Industry whispers suggest that the much-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 are still under wraps, insiders believe that the collection might feature 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 have pointed towards a possible launch later this year, but Corden remains skeptical, suggesting a more likely release window in 2026.
