Don’t expect a Gears 6 announcement for “some time”, as𒉰 The Coalition moves to a nಞew engine.

Gears of War developer The Coalition has revealed that its future projects will be developed on Unreal Engine 5. This will likely result in a huge upgrade in the visual quality of its games, and that’s saying something consideri♑ng how good Gears 5 already looks. The downside? This also means that we wo൩n’t be seeing any new projects from The Coalition for a while.

explains, “Shifting to a new engine is a big undertaking, so we want to be clear that we will not be announcing any new projects or titles for some time”.

It’s worth noting that The ﷽Coalition doesn’t specify Gears of War projects here, which means we couldꦜ well be seeing the studio branch out into other IP. It'd be interesting to see the team tackle an original project, but while there have also been in the works, the studio has since squashed those rumours.

The post also confirmed that The Coalition is moving on to exclusively next-gen development, which means that its upcoming games will only be released for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series X and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Xbox Series S. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Microsoft had committed to keeping its first party titles cross-gen for the first couple of years after the 💙Xbox Series X launched, but these games are likely still yeജars away from launch.

The Coalitio♍n isn’t just abandoning it’s Unreal Engine 4 games though. You can still expect regular updates for Gears 5 with Operations 7 and 8 already in the works. Each Operation will add new charact🐓ers, maps, and special events.
