A freshGears of Warleak alleges that bothGears 6and aGears Ultimate Collectionare currently in active development, showing off the games' supposed logos with a “confidential” watermark sitting just behind them. A supposed remaster collection of some number of the oldGears of Wargames has been rumored to be in production for quite a long while now, and this may be the first actual peek at some of its art.
It’s currently unclear what, exactly, is going on withGears of Waras a whole. Microsoft is yet to formally announce a new project in the franchise, even though the two latest titles in the series (Gears 5andGears Tactics, specifically) received ample critical acclaim.

The latestGearsleak is as tentative as they get: an anonymous source sent a picture of a computer screen showing off the two alleged logos to the Xbox Era Podcast, with a note that the source themselves wasn’t sure whether the image is original or a custom fake. Previous rumors suggested that theGears of Warremasters are still underway, and this latest showing implies that the project is going to be theGears Ultimate Collectionof some sort. At the same time, the image also contains the potential logo forGears 6, and it’s worth pointing out that none of the fonts look awfully out of place, all things considered.
The Xbox Era Podcast hosts go out of their way to underline the fact that this leak is entirely uncorroborated and likely fake, and waiting for more information is definitely the way to go on this front. This isn’t nearly as unbelievable as leaks sometimes get, though.Gears 6is years awayat best, that much is clear, but it wouldn’t be strange if Microsoft and Coalition were to launch the old games' remasters in the interim to pad out the schedule. Potentially getting the titles on PC would be a huge deal, if nothing else.
While there’s no telling whether this leak is true or not, and it very well could end up being fake, it’s worth pointing out, this may getGears' fans hopes up. Especially for those who aren’t keen on theupcomingGears of Warcard game, which admittedly is quite a far cry from the bombastic and often unrelenting nature of the mainlineGears of Wargameplay experience.
Far as the studio behindGears of Waris concerned, it is known that The Coalition is helping with theState of Decay 3’s developmentat this time. It’s highly unlikely that the production of this title would eat up all of The Coalition’s development capacity, however, and it’s almost certain that the team is working on something else along the way. Whether that means this new leak is true or not, however, only time will tell.
