Latest Developments on the Gears of War Trilogy Collection
- Speculation indicates that the upcoming Gears of War trilogy collection may not feature multiplayer options.
- There are rumors suggesting that this collection might debut on the PlayStation 5, marking a first for the franchise.
- Co-op gameplay may still be included in the anticipated collection.
A recent rumor has surfaced regarding the highly anticipated Gears of War trilogy collection, suggesting it could launch without any multiplayer functionalities. Despite not being officially confirmed, discussions around the features of this possible release have intensified among the gaming community.
Gamers have long expressed a desire for a remastered edition of the beloved Gears of War trilogy, originally launched on the Xbox 360. While it always seemed plausible that Xbox Game Studios would take this initiative, it had yet to materialize until now. The current wave of speculation not only includes a potential collection but also hints at a PlayStation 5 release—something previously unheard of for the Gears of War series.
In a recent thread on X, journalist Jez Corden reported hearing that the collection may lack multiplayer capabilities. This information is disheartening for fans who anticipated a comprehensive revival of the classic multiplayer modes. Initial hopes associated with the collection drew parallels to Halo: The Master Chief Collection, which featured extensive multiplayer options across its entries. However, Corden suggests that the focus might primarily be on the single-player campaigns.
Potential Lack of Multiplayer in the Gears of War Collection
actually, i too have heard no multiplayer — Jez (@JezCorden) March 5, 2025
The exact reasons for the absence of a multiplayer mode remain uncertain. One theory is that The Coalition might want to preserve a cohesive player base leading into the future release of Gears of War: E-Day. Corden also clarified that co-op gameplay is likely to be part of the collection, although it is unclear whether this will extend to campaign co-op and, potentially, the fan-favorite Horde mode featured in Gears of War 2 and 3.
Regarding the future of Gears of War: E-Day, there are indications that its release might not meet the projected timeline for 2025, with 2026 now appearing more probable. Announced in mid-2024, this prequel aims to transport players back to pivotal moments preceding the original game, featuring the iconic characters Marcus and Dom. If the Gears of War collection becomes available this year as speculated, it would serve as an ideal opportunity for fans to refresh their memories before the eagerly awaited E-Day arrives.
