It’s not immediately obvious what type of Gears of War announcement Ice T claims will be coming this week but one could reasonably speculate that’ll be an announcement or teaser for a new Gears game. The last game, Gears of War 4, came out in 2016 to pretty solid reviews and it’s been two years since we’ve had a Gears game so a new one could definitely be in the works.
Earlier this year, we reported that the developer of Gears of War 4, The Coalition Studio, was possibly working on a new IP with StoryLab Productions, a company that helped The Coalition develop Gears of War 4.
However, Microsoft explicitly denied that this was happening in a terse statement about the rumored project. “The Coalition is exclusively focused on Gears of War,” a Microsoft representative said.
If a new Gears is indeed happening then what new features would you like for it to have? What new gameplay mechanics could the Gears team introduce to the series? Or do you think that Gears is just fine the way it is? Let us know your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below!
