the series of Gears of War is currently on hiatus. After the success that was the fifth number installment, The Coalition has started working on multiple projects. Although one of these will be gear 6 in Unreal Engine 5, it feels like there are still a couple of years to go before we see this title in our hands. For the meantime, a new record would indicate that the franchise could return soon, but not in the way you expect.
Recently, a record was found on the United States USPTO site, mentioning Gears of War. However, here we do not find any trace of the sixth installment, but rather instead they talk about board games, card games, collectible card games, and arcade games.
In this way, it seems that Xbox and The Coalition are doing everything possible to expand the Gears of War franchise beyond the interactive games that we already know. It is important to mention that at the moment there is no official information about a board game starring Marcus Fenixand the records are not a guarantee that something will happen.
Nevertheless, considering that several reports indicate that gear 6 will hit the market between 2024 and 2025, it does not sound unreasonable to think that we will see some trace of this series in other entertainment media. On related topics, it seems that the development of the new installment has already been leaked. Likewise, this is what it looks like gears of war 3 on PlayStation 3.
