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 exclude the franchise's multiplayer mode, a claim Corden verified. Competitive online play will be absent, but cooperative gameplay and the main story campaigns will remain.

Industry sources suggest an announcement could arrive at the upcoming Xbox Showcase in June. While the specific games included are unconfirmed, speculation points to the first three entries in the series.
Development on Gears of War: E-Day, the next main installment, continues using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. Leaks hint at a possible late 2024 release, but Corden believes a 2026 release is more likely.
