Last week, the generally well-informed leaker eXtas1s suggested that Gears of War would be getting a special platform at the upcoming Xbox Showcase 2025. We now know that it will take place on June 8, and eXtas1s has released a new leak providing further details regarding Microsoft's flagship license. We're dissecting all this with a chainsaw.
Gears of War is preparing its new emergence
For some time now, various leaks and rumors have suggested that Gears of War would soon be entitled to a big announcement, in addition to the prequel called E-Day, currently in development at The Coalition. There was then talk of a Collection, including a remastered version of previous installments in the franchise. Leaker eXtas1s recently indicated that this would be announced with great fanfare during the Xbox Showcase 2025, as part of the Summer Game Fest. He also claims that the announcement of the Collection will be accompanied by a release date sometime this year on PC, Xbox Series, and also PS5.
This would in any case corroborate previous rumors that Microsoft was considering bringing Gears of War in some form to PS5. With Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle and Forza Horizon 5, two major Xbox Games Studios titles, arriving on Sony's console this month, such a move would not be surprising. According to Detective Seeds, another influential leaker, the PS5 version of the Gears of War Collection should also offer improvements that take advantage of the PS5 Pro's capabilities. Finally, Jez Corden of Windows Central has advanced that the famous Collection would support co-op play, but not multiplayer. This could be a bit of a disappointment, given the importance of multiplayer for the franchise.
Naturally, all this information should be taken with a grain of salt, while waiting for more official confirmation. See you on the 8th at Xbox Showcase 2025 to find out for sure. We're also keeping our fingers crossed for Gears of War E-Day, even though it's not expected to be released until next year, potentially also on PC, Xbox Series, and PS5.
