The first news on Gears of War 6 may be coming this summer, according to new claims.
During the latest episode of the Kinda Funny Xcast, host Parris Lilly made a prediction that Gears 6 news would arrive in the summer, a prediction which was then seemingly verified by that episode’s guest, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb.
“When they showed the [Marvel 1943 trailer] in Unreal Engine 5 during GDC, I jokingly tweeted ‘imagine what Gears 6’ would look like in Unreal 5,” Lilly said, “because it looked so good.
“And then somebody from The Coalition made a cryptic little subtweet under me about that, which perked my ears on that. So my conspiracy theory is that you do tease it this year, and then it’s probably a launch game for next gen. That seems to make sense to me.”
While Lilly’s claim was merely a predicition, Grubb then appeared to suggest it was an accurate one, adding: “I will say, I’ve heard some stuff might be happening with Gears 6 this summer, so I think that tease sounds about right to me, Parris. That seems like what we can expect.”
Grubb’s statement was then shared on X by The Verge senior editor Tom Warren, who simply said Grubb was “correct”.
Gubb claimed back in February 2023 that Xbox studio The Coalition had shifted its full attention to the next entry in the Gears of the War series after two other games in development at the studio were reportedly cancelled.
This was seemingly confirmed the following month when Xbox posted a job listing, advertising for the role of ‘Senior Gameplay Designer – Gears of War – The Coalition’.
Since its acquisition of the Gears of War IP in 2014, Microsoft has released two mainline series entries – 2016’s Gears of War 4 and 2019’s Gears 5, both developed by The Coalition – as well as Gears of War: Ultimate Edition and the turn-based tactics spin-off Gears Tactics.

Fallout 4 was the best selling game across Europe last week.
The Verge has a new report out with claims that the Sony is prodding developers to get their games to 4K 60 FPS on the rumored PlayStation 5 Pro, with their own upscaling technology.
A Mafia series announcement is on the horizon, a well-known leaker has claimed. The purported bit of upcoming news is plausibly related to the fourth mainline Mafia game.
The reveal of a PlayStation 5 Pro seems all but guaranteed, though it’s impossible to say for sure what kind of hardware improvements any potential new model of the system would bring. That said, there are loads of leaks and rumors and one, now verified by Tom Warren of The Verge, suggests that the majority of the improvements would focus on the console’s GPU performance.
Plans for a Dead Space 2 remake have reportedly been shelved after the first game failed to deliver commercially.
A new rumor has propped up about the anticipated Gears of War 6.
The Sea of Thieves PS5 version will be a crucial test for other former Xbox exclusives coming to rival platforms, according to outlet The Verge.
Microsoft is reportedly planning to unveil new Gears of War and Call of Duty games at its traditional Xbox summer showcase.
As we head deeper into 2024, the traditional “E3” season (of course, E3 is dead now, but you catch my drift) for gaming announcements and showcases is coming up fast. In recent days we’ve begun to hear some murmurings about Microsoft’s big 2024 showcase, with Gears 6 reportedly being there, and now a few more potential details may have filtered out.
Microsoft confirmed earlier this year that its annual Xbox Games Showcase would be returning in June, and though a specific date for the event has yet to be officially announced, it seems one has been set internally within the company.
The early months of 2024 have seen Microsoft stepping up its efforts to bring its first-party Xbox titles to audiences on rival platforms, with Hi-Fi Rush having released for PS5 and Obsidian duo Pentiment and Grounded both having launched for PS5 and Switch. Sea of Thieves arrives for PS5 later this month, and though Microsoft hasn’t officially announced further plans to bring any other of its games to rival consoles beyond that, reports continue to insist that there’s more stuff in the pipeline.
