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 omit the franchise's multiplayer mode, a claim Corden verified. While competitive online play won't be included, he clarified that cooperative gameplay and the main story campaigns will still be available.

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