Just like in previous years, Microsoft should use the showcase to provide us with updates on already announced titles and to announce completely new projects. According to current reports, fans of the “Gears of War” or “Gears” series, among others, could get their money’s worth this time.

Liam McIntyre, who voiced Markus Fenix's son JD in the English-language versions of “Gears of War 4” and “Gears 5”, gave us the supposedly crucial clue. On X (formerly Twitter), McIntyre hinted at a possible announcement in June.

This would coincide with the rumors surrounding the hints about the Xbox & Bethesda Games Showcase spread by Tom Warren.

Other sources confirm the approaching revelation

The rumors about an imminent announcement and presentation of “Gears 6” are not new. Instead, two well-known sources, Jeff Grubb and Tom Warren, pointed to a revelation in the summer at the beginning of April.

The well-known insider “Shinobi602” went one step further and spoke of “Gears 6” as a technical showcase that was impressive should provewhat the current consoles can do graphically.

After players commented positively on the graphical quality of “Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2,” “Shinobi602” chimed in with the following comment: “Wait until you see Gears. People are not ready for that yet.”



According to “Xbox Era” founder Nick Baker, the developers at The Coaltion may have decided to further expand the open-world aspect of “Gears 5”. However, official confirmation of this is still pending.

How does the story continue? (Spoiler)

The same applies, unsurprisingly, to the plot of the series, whose events in “Gears 5” provided plenty of topic of conversation. This is also illustrated by the fact that a user turned to Liam McIntyre and asked him whether JD's death at the end of “Gears 5” fit with the canon.



We remember. At the end of “Gears 5” we were faced with a difficult choice and had to decide whether to save the life of JD Fenix ​​or Delmont Walker aka Del.

The consequence of this was that one character was saved and the other died. Since then, the community has been asking how this design decision will be reflected in “Gears 6”.

We may find out more in June.
