Development efforts on Gears 6 have accelerated, following reports from the previous year stating that The Coalition, the studio behind the game, had shifted its focus entirely to the renowned third-person shooter series by halting progress on two other unnamed projects. With the fifth anniversary of Gears 5 on the horizon, speculation grows regarding when the next installment will officially come to light.
Insider information from journalist Jeff Grubb during an appearance on the Kinda Funny Xbox podcast suggests that fans won't have to wait much longer for news on Gears 6. Grubb hinted at significant developments this summer concerning the awaited game. Correspondingly, Tom Warren from The Verge acknowledged the validity of Grubb’s insights through a concise affirmation of the reported details.
Given that Microsoft has previously confirmed the return of the Xbox Game Showcase in June, it seems probable that this event could serve as the perfect platform for unveiling the latest chapter in the Gears of War saga.
There have been claims suggesting that Gears 6 is progressing more swiftly through its development cycle than anticipated, with plans to build upon the semi-open world design introduced in its predecessor, Gears 5, released in 2019. This approach promises to deliver an evolved gaming experience that fans eagerly anticipate.
