Over five years since the release of the last mainlineGears of Wargame, release dates for the next game in the series,E-Day, and aGearsof Warcollection have apparently been leaked. Since the release ofGears 5in 2019, the series has yet to see another mainline installment. Instead, it turned to spinoffs likeGears Tacticsin 2020 and the now-discontinued mobile gameGears Pop!A prequel to the series,Gears of War: E-Day, was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2024, but no release date has been officially set.
As reported byGameSpot, leakereXtas1s on YouTubehas claimed that a currently unannouncedGears of Warcollection will be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase in 2025 and released within the year on Xbox, PC, and PS5. At the same time, however, eXtas1s has also claimed that although there’s a slight chance thatGears of War: E-Daymight make it out in 2025 as well, it’s more likely that the game won’t be released until 2026.
Gears Of War E-Day Could Be Getting A Release Date, Leaks Claim
Leaked E-Day Release Date Set For 2026, With A Slight Chance Of Being Pushed Up To 2025
Outsideof E-Day’sinitial reveal trailer, which showed the game to be a prequel starring original series protagonists Marcus Fenix and Dom Santiago, very little information has been revealed aboutE-Dayitself. While it’s been announced that the game will be bringing back theoriginalGears of Warvoice actorsfor its protagonists, no gameplay footage ofE-Dayhas been shown. In all likelihood, if the leaks from eXtas1s are accurate,more information aboutE-Day, including an official release date reveal, could be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcaselater in 2025.
Gears Of War: E-Day Brings Back Marcus & Dom In Huge New Prequel
Gears of War: E-Day was revealed during the 2024 Xbox Games Showcase, showing the major Locust attack that changed the world forever.
Notably, as pointed out by GameSpot, eXtas1s had previously, and correctly, leaked thatForza 5would be ported to the PS5, meaning that his leaks have some degree of validity behind them.However, not all of his leaks are quite as accurate - despite reporting thatTony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4would be revealed at the Xbox Game Showcase in 2025 and released in June, the game has already been revealed on the officialTony Hawk’s Pro Skaterwebsite after a lengthy countdown, and is set for release on July 11.
Gears Of War Collection Rumors Have Been Circulating For Years Now
A Gears Of War Collection Has Been Rumored For Years, But Never Confirmed Or Released
WhileE-Daywas only unveiled last year,rumors regarding the potential release of a remasteredGears of Warcollection have been around for far longer- to the point that aGearscollection was expected to launch in 2022. The existence or development status of aGears of Warcollection has never been officially confirmed, though, and it remains to be seen whether the leak from eXtas1s will prove to be accurate.
Gears Of War: E-Day Needs To Copy Gears Tactics’ Best Idea
Gears of War: E-Day is expected to be a third-person shooter, but it should adopt a feature introduced by the series’ tactical strategy spin-off.
In all likelihood,aGearscollection would package the original trilogy together(though the originalGears of Waralready has the remasteredUltimate Edition), with a chance to include the spinoff gameJudgement.Gears of War 4andGears 5, being already available on modern platforms, would likely not be included. With such an extended wait sinceGears 5, fans of the series hopefully have a lot to look forward to, but leaks can prove unreliable for several reasons, so it might be best not to get too hyped about upcomingGears of Warnews.
