Rumour: Don't Expect Gears 6 At E3, Xbox Has 'Too Much Else Going On'

I don't expect Gears 6 news till 2023..

I'm sure they'll say something about "operation 7" though 😒

They already have too many games to reveal at E3 including new IPs so it’s obvious Gears 6 not happening anytime soon.

I’m more expecting a Forza to pop up at E3.
Would rather Forza Horizon though, far better game and more popular than Forza Motorsport.
Also sales wise on the increase un like Motorsport on the decrease.

While hearing this is good news in a way (more time to make a better game and also clears up the perception that Xbox is just Halo and Gears).

It is also a bit sad because Coalition could make the best Gears game ever and still get a "pffft... more Gears" reaction out of the entire gaming community as if Gears is the only franchise out there.

I wasn't expecting any Gears 6 news - especially as they have continued working on Gears 5 content as well as the Series console updates and of course 'Hivebusters'. Also made Gears Tactics too which released on consoles in November.

I am eagerly anticipating the next main game in the Franchise - not one of the spin-offs.

I am expecting news about other releases expected in the next year - Not just Halo and Psychonauts 2, but games like Flight Sim for Console, Hellblade 2, Forza (probably Motorsport more than Horizon but at least 1) etc. I don't know if we will see PD or Fable - maybe a gameplay teaser. Avowed, Everwild and State of Decay 3 too of course.

There are a number of 3rd Party games too that we haven't seen or heard of for a while. The Gunk, Warhammer Darktide, STALKER2, CrossfireX, Scorn etc too will no doubt get some time as well as news on any other 3rd Party deals - like they had with AC:Valhalla for example - to take up some time.

I haven't mentioned any Zenimax games - but I expect a Starfield update - but maybe not too much time spent on these during MS's E3 as Bethesda has its own showcase. I still expect Starfield at least at MS's but maybe a teaser trailer with a more indepth look during the Bethesda show.

Last year, in the lead up to what would have been E3, MS had a Showcase in May that focussed only on 3rd Party games - kicking off with Bright Memory: Infinite (lovely RT visuals) and showed off Scorn, AC: Valhalla, Dirt 5, Vampire the Masquerade 2, Scarlet Nexus, 2nd Extinction, the Medium etc - a 40+ min show before their July Showcase which had the likes of Halo, Avowed and that Fable CGi trailer...

There is a LOT of games that were revealed during the same time frame last year that I expect to see/hear more of this year as few have actually released yet - let alone any 1st Party games that haven't been revealed - like Gears 6.

Wasn't expecting it. I played through 4 and 5 quite recently, so I don't really need any more for a couple of years.

An UE5 powered Gears 6 and an idTech 7 powered Gears spin-off.

Wasn't expecting any new ls on a new gears anytime soon tbh...I would want it ditch the Xbox one when it's released

@BrilliantBill A lot of that is ignorance - Gears, Forza and Halo is not like Uncharted, Gran Turismo and Killzone for example in that each one of those MS franchises has games covering a multiple of genres. The 3 'Sony' franchises are 3 genres but Gears has the Cover Shooter and a Turn Based Strategy Game. Halo has the First Person Shooter, but also has a couple of RTS and top down twin stick shooters too. Forza has the Racing Sim, but also the open world Arcade racer too.

Would it look better if 343 had opted to create a whole new universe and Lore to make a RTS - not set Halo Wars in the 'Halo' universe. Maybe Playground shouldn't have used 'Forza' name in its Horizon series - then we would have a GT beater and a Separate 'arcade' racer to beat the likes of the Crew etc. And of course, Gears would only be a Cover shooter but we would have an XCOM style game too that would make the 'range' of genres available look wider without actually being wider than we have now...

good! as much as i enjoyed Gears 5, if E3 was somehow another "HaloGearsForza" fest, i would have been annoyed lol. show us something else, then lets see Gears in 2022?

Well colour me disappointed!

I have put hundreds of hours into both the Campaign and Horde in Gears 5. I currently sit in the top 100 for runs as a Mechanic in Horde and have completed the Campaign 4 times on Insane and twice on Inconceivable (plus another couple of runs on easier difficulties).

I'll be 60 in 2023, and I was really hoping to have thrashed Gears 6 by then as I'm not sure how well my arthritis will hold out...

I just want to get an Infinite update and hopefully release date.
