Developer The Coalition is seeking the assistance of People Can Fly to co-develop Gears of War: E-Day, which is a strong sign.
If you were tuning into Xbox Games Showcase 2025 hoping to see Gears of War: E-Day, you may have been left disappointed. Today's show was light on Microsoft's biggest franchises — with nothing from Forza, Halo or the upcoming Fable reboot.
Games like Gears don’t need a whole year of previews.
Couple of months of coverage and it will still be a hit.
Never been a fan of gears and I honestly tried to get into it but I can see the appeal and how big of a game it is.
Xbox wanted to Premier their OG first party games 25 years of Xbox. Forza 5, Halo, Fable for next year.
New games in 2027 is Blade, Elderscrolls 6, Perfect Dark.
im more concerned about Perfect Dark. where is it? it's been five years since it was announced.
It feels like the showcase was mainly for the Asus Rog Ally X. Sarah Bond mentioned that all the games they previewed in the showcase are playable on the handheld.
They're playable on the handheld because it's a Windows-based system; what the showcase highlighted for every-single-game though was Xbox Play Anywhere.
Xbox Game Studios and The Coalition's Gears of War E-Day is scheduled for release in the year 2026, based on a new rumor.
It was only a matter of time. Gears 1 and 2 I'm looking forward to. The rest I can do without.
Sweet never played Gears before. The campaigns are all online co-op right? Or they should be, correct?
There 100 percent worth Buying on PlayStation or even Xbox and there's also Split Screen Campaign and also Online as well so has a Online Multiplayer Modes as well.
They can be played co op or solo both a good time don't expect high art it's a 2007 era bro shooter at its best but it's a damm good time
Yes I fully understand that. But want to play the campaigns for the story element and to get ready for the new Gears games coming to Playstation in the future.
Unfortunately because I was addicted to Warhawk and then later Starhawk I didn’t played it at the time on my 360 but now that I got nothing as addictive and fun as those 2 games on my plate I’ll buy the collection if it got a physical release
It'll really be game over for Xbox when that happens. It's their no.1 flag ship tittle.
Microsoft opening up their games to more gamers I thought was the goal, which to me is a great thing. More games in more gamers hands is great for all gamers. Seems like a win win win to me. They already are not selling that many consoles, so MS is making the next step which to me would end the toxic single platform fanboy exclusive mindset that many gamers seems to have, which is really not sustainable for studios we have found which has also lead to such slow releases this gen, so to me change is needed.. Microsoft is going to be fine no matter what happens with Xbox as a platform. I hope they extend the games to the Switch 2 which should also open the games up to an even larger base.
Yea, but even if its Halo, it'd be MCC first.
dunno what they'll do with Halo 5 ... its not even on PC
The Halo games and its lore is way too good to not have a massive world wide audience. I regretted not getting into the lore until years after the Xbox One came out nearing its end life cycle when I got a cheap one and bought the Master Chief collection. They are amazing games and I missed out especially with Multiplayer
As long as they focus on the PC and PS5 for the release it'll do great numbers. You could leave it off the Xbox completely with little to no impact on revenue.
That's not entirely true. I see what you are saying; it isn't going to sell many copies there or sell many new GP subscriptions. But if they actually started keeping new games off GP, you better believe they'd lose current subscribers. You have to factor that in too.
Leave their own game off their own platform? We've hit a new low of ignorance in 2025.
I didn't say for them to leave the game off their own system, I said they could leave it off XBOX and not notice the hit in revenue.
We've hit a new low of reading comprehension in 2025.
From a revenue perspective the sales on Xbox are negligible, the new Gears game is reliant on sales on competing platforms and PC to survive.
"leave it off XBOX and not notice the hit in revenue."
Is this s joke? You just said the same thing twice. Who owns Xbox and who owns Gears? What's goin with you ppl the last few days.
Is this a joke? Why do you keep leaving out the start of the sentence?.. is it because you don't want to lose face after seeing your own mistake?
You do know the difference between "you could" and "they should" don't you?
Like I said reading comprehension has hit a new low in 2025
What are you talking about why would you want them to leave it off their own platform? Could, would, should idk what you said was stupid (surprise, surprise). Own up to that.
The Coalition's upcoming Gears of War: E-Day should spotlight the Union of Independent Republics alongside the return of the Locust Horde
Getting more and more stoked about this
Does nobody remember how bad judgement was?
Honestly, I'd like if People Can Fly helped with the Gears Trilogy Remaster first.
And want something other than Gears from The Coalition. So, if People Can Fly gets more involved in E-Day, Coalition can focus more on something new and original.
