Gears of War 6 Set for Summer Reveal, New Report Claims

Apr 07, 2024 9:33 AM

Gears of War fans can anticipate a big announcement this summer as Gears of War 6 is expected to be unveiled during Xbox's summer showcase. The last main series game, Gears 5, was released in 2019, marking a significant gap in the franchise. Along with Gears of War 6, the event is set to reveal Avowed, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and the latest Call of Duty game. Sea of Thieves, another popular title, will test the waters by launching on PlayStation soon, and there's talk of Xbox-exclusive games heading to other consoles too.

In corporate news, Kareem Choudhry's departure from Microsoft after a 26-year tenure might signal changes within Xbox operations. Xbox head Phil Spencer has shown interest in further integrating the PC gaming ecosystem into Xbox, suggesting future strategies aiming to evolve the platform's gaming experience. These developments are part of a broader strategy that could be clarified during Xbox’s showcase event, currently rumored for June 9.

When will Gears of War 6 be released?

While no official release date has been announced for Gears of War 6, the reveal is expected to take place in the upcoming Xbox summer showcase, which if the reports are correct, could place a launch date announcement on June 9.

Gears of War, developed by The Coalition and owned by Xbox Game Studios, is a flagship series for Xbox, with its first title released in 2006. The series is known for its cover-based shooter mechanics and a cinematic, story-driven campaign focusing on the soldiers of Delta Squad in their battle against the Locust Horde and later, the Swarm. With its rich narrative and engaging multiplayer modes, Gears of War is a tentpole franchise that boasts a devoted fanbase excited for the next chapter in the saga.
