This was revealed by the former boss of The Coalition. The idea never materialized, but who knows, it might be used in future installments?
The last mainline Gears of War title is actually Gears 5 from 2019. That means it’s already been over five years since we got anything from the series, or four years if we count the Gears Tactics spinoff.
It was widely rumored that Gears of War 6 would be announced during Xbox Games Showcase back in June, but that didn’t happen, and instead Gears of War: E-Day was unveiled. Surprisingly, it’s a prologue instead about how the war on Sera started and is set 14 years before the first Gears of War.
It wasn’t always planned that way, however, and now former The Coalition boss Rod Fergusson reveals that the original vision was something else entirely. When he recently visited the Unlocked podcast, he took the opportunity to tell us that there was actually a sixth installment of the Gears of War saga in the works, which was scrapped.
