It has been a long time since the world-famous Gears of War franchised the gaming industry with its presence as the last mainline title, Gears 5, was released in 2019 and the last game overall, Gears Tactics, was released in 2020. Now that four to five years have passed, I'd say it's high time that one of the cornerstones of the Xbox's gaming library made a comeback.
As for what this new title could be, it's anybody's guess at this point. It could be Gears 6, a sequel to Gears Tactics, or a brand-new spin-off focusing on the Hivebusters group seen in Gear 5's DLC, Gears 5: Hivebusters. Perhaps they could be announcing multiple new titles at once and make all the above predictions happen?
Either way, we at Windows Central will be keeping a close eye in June to see if this comment turns out to be true and The Coalition reveals the next installment of the Gears of War series.
