In addition to Gears 6, another Gears of War project would be announced at the Xbox | Xbox

For several weeks, rumors about the announcement of Gears 6 at the Xbox Games Showcase have surfaced. After journalist Jeff Grubb rekindled the flame in the hearts of fans of the franchise, today it is the turn of Tom Warren (The Verge) to make an intriguing statement.

In addition to Gears 6, another Gears of War project would be announced at the Xbox Games Showcase

Almost 5 years after the release of Gears 5, we still have no news of a new license project. While everything seems to indicate that the sequel will be announced this June 9, Tom Warren has just insinuated that another production will be shown.

We can then immediately think of the announcement of a compilation focused on the first trilogy, as many rumors have suggested for several years now, but we must not forget that other Gears of War projects are planned.

Indeed, in 2022, Netflix announced that it had partnered with The Coalition to produce a Gears of War film, as well as an animated series. What if Xbox took advantage of the announcement of Gears 6 to release a trailer for one of the two projects?

Tom Warren's statement should obviously be taken with a grain of salt, but the journalist is clearly not his first attempt. In any case, you will have to be patient to find out for sure, since the Xbox Games Showcase 2024 will be held on June 9 from 7:00 p.m. Paris time.

What announcements and games to expect from the Xbox 2024 conference?

What can we expect from Xbox Games Showcase 2024? This year, it is very likely that the focus will be on the games coming in fall 2024, namely Ara: History Untold, Avowed, without forgetting Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and Towerborne whose release is planned for 2024, without further details. The presentation of the first Starfield expansion “Shattered Space” cannot be ruled out, as well as updates to service games like Sea of ​​Thieves. And then let's not forget Age of Mythology: Retold, the release of which was recently made official for this year, and undoubtedly an announcement around a new Gears game about which rumors have been growing for months. In any case, Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 should not be present since it will be released on May 21.

On the third-party gaming side, the Xbox community is eagerly awaiting news of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, which is scheduled for release on September 5. ARK 2, whose first gameplay extracts are long overdue, is also planned for the end of 2024. Perhaps it will take advantage of the opportunity to finally show itself?

Beyond 2024, many Xbox games are still expected such as Everwild, Fable, Perfect Dark, State of Decay 3, Contraband, South of Midnight and Clockwork Revolution. Hopefully Xbox will tell us more about these games during the event. It is very likely that surprises will also be planned. The community is still waiting to know what The Coalition, id Software or Double Fines are working on.

Now that Activision Blizzard King is owned by Microsoft, we can expect a stronger presence of the publisher's games during Xbox events. Blizzard also confirmed that Diablo IV's Vessel of Hatred expansion will be released this summer. As usual, we can also imagine that a salvo of Xbox Game Pass games will be announced during the event.

As a reminder, the previous edition was particularly rich, notably with the announcement of South of Midnight, Towerborne, Clockwork Revolution and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, without forgetting the new Fable trailer. In addition to First Party games, Xbox has always strived to introduce third-party and independent games, some of which will arrive on release day in Xbox Game Pass.
