Summary
Multiple insiders have claimed thatGears of War 6is set to be revealed this summer, although it might be a while until the game is actually released. With the franchise almost five years removed from its previous entry, fans have grown increasingly eager to hear any news regarding the nextGears of Wartitle.
In January, apromisingGears of War 6developmentrevealed that developer The Coalition was ramping up work on its next game. An attentive sleuth found a handful of LinkedIn posts that revealed the developer’s wave of new hires, which included an environment artist, cinematic animator, and senior lighting artist. While this was promising news forGearsfans, it still didn’t offer anything concrete on the anticipated title, but that may be changing later this year.
During an appearance on the Kinda Funny xCast (timestamp 01:00:55), insider Jeff Grubb stated he had heard rumblings of aGears of War 6reveal happening this summer. However, the podcast participants also agreed thatGears 6could be a launch title for Xbox’s next generation of consoles, which would put its release date at least a couple of years away. Insider Tom Warren later backed up Grubb’s claim in a tweet, when he simply said that Grubb’s statement was “correct.” While multiple insiders agreeing on the matter is a promising development for fans awaiting aGears of War 6reveal, this news is still unconfirmed at this time.
