While details about which titles will feature in the collection remain scarce, insiders speculate that it may include the first three entries in the series.

Meanwhile, development on the next major installment, Gears of War: E-Day continues using Unreal Engine 5 for PC and Xbox Series X/S platforms. Recent leaks suggest a potential launch later this year; however, Corden doubts such timing, leaning toward a 2026 release window instead.
