The statement by Liam McIntyre, the voice of JD Fenix ​​in the Gears of War license, was indeed not a tease. Indeed, he subsequently published a tweet emphasizing the fact that he has no idea of ​​The Coalition's plans regarding the direction of Gears 6 in relation to the end of Gears 5. The “I think @GearsofWar will tell us everything in June” was therefore not intended to tease an announcement.

To the extent that last year he was still not under NDA and he still does not seem to be involved in the project, at least for the moment, the situation may suggest that the choice of JD's death at The ending of Gears 5 is canon. Let's hope, like him, that answers will finally be provided in June during the Xbox Games Showcase!

I think people missed the “I have no idea” part. Haha. I'm just full of hope!

While an Xbox Games Showcase will take place in June, rumors regarding the Gears of War license continue to intensify. Following the comments of journalist Jeff Grubb, who declared that “things could happen with Gears 6 this summer”, it is now Liam McIntyre's turn to add fuel to the fire.

Did the actor who gives his voice to JD Fenix ​​in Gears really tease an announcement for June?

Actor who became known thanks to various films and series, and mainly for his role as Spartacus from the Vengeance season, Liam McIntyre also gave his voice to James Dominic Fenix ​​in Gears of War 4 and Gears 5.

Rather talkative on Twitter, he responded to a player who asked him if the death of Marcus Fenix's son was canonical, insofar as a choice is offered to players at the end of the game. The actor thus clarified that 'he has no idea and that we might have answers in June.

I've no idea. I think @GearsofWar will tell us everything in June :)

It's hard to say if this is a tease or if he actually doesn't know anything. Indeed, in March 2023, he declared to Dexerto that he knew nothing and that no non-disclosure agreement prevented him from speaking.

I did not hear anything ! And that's true. It’s not even one of those “I have an NDA, I can’t tell you.” I wonder where we are. I don't know if they say “we're about to finish production and I'm sorry you weren't the hot choice.”

It is currently unknown whether the decision made at the end of Gears 5 will have an impact on the rest of the events, or whether The Coalition simply made the death of Del or JD the canonical ending.

If JD's death is canonical, this could possibly explain why Liam McIntyre had still not been contacted last year. Regardless, we hope that Gears 6 will actually be announced in June and that answers will finally be provided, after almost 5 years of waiting!
