Jez Corden, a well-known insider and Windows Central editor, has officially confirmed reports of Microsoft developing a Gears of War Collection. Speculation about this compilation recently surfaced, with rumors indicating it may exclude the franchise's signature multiplayer mode. Corden verified these reports, clarifying that competitive online play won't be included while cooperative gameplay will remain available alongside the main story campaigns.

Development continues for the next major title, Gears of War: E-Day, built with Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S. While recent leaks hinted at a possible late 2024 launch, Corden remains skeptical and predicts a 2026 release instead.
