Over the past year, we’ve seen some fairly reliable rumors about Gears 6, another part of the famous franchise originally created by Epic Games, which was one of the big banners of the Xbox 360, and which eventually ended up in the hands of Microsoft. All indications are that this new installment has been in development for several years and that it could achieve end of 2024.

The presentation will take place this summer, according to The Verge, which points directly to June 9 and the Xbox Summer Event as the venue for said presentation. Gears 6 will be one of the highlights of the event, but it won’t be the only one, as according to the mentioned media, Microsoft could also use the opportunity to show the new Call of Duty.

Gears 6 will be exclusive to the current generation of consoles, meaning it won’t be coming to Xbox One or Xbox One. It is most likely based on Unreal Engine 5. This engine will allow The Coalition, the developer responsible for this project, to make a big leap on a technical level.

What can we expect from Gears 6

Graphical improvements and the use of a new generation engine will not be the last changes that Gears 6 will bring, there is also talk of a new open world approach, and the possibility of including ray tracing is even being considered. The game will also be available for PC and we expect it to support NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and Intel XeSS technologies.

The storyline is not yet defined, but Considering the ending of Gears 5, it would make sense for it to continue from what happened in said titleand this somehow allows the player to continue the story based on a key decision he made in the final stage of said delivery.

I don’t want to specify anything to avoid spoilers, but I can tell you that when we get to the game part we had to choose the fate of two important charactersand this should be reflected in Gears 6 in some way. Microsoft wouldn’t need to link a save game from the previous installment, it could simply ask the player to choose between several options to focus the story one way or another.

This franchise It will remain exclusive to Xbox and PCin fact, it’s one of the few that sounded like that in the latest information I’ve seen about possible Xbox exclusives coming to PS5, an honor that the Halo franchise will also have and should extend to Forza.
