据报道，齿轮6将于今年夏天被取笑

Highlights

• Xbox is reportedly planning to tease Gears 6 this summer, according to several industry insiders.
• Jeff Grubb, Tom Warren, and NateTheHate have all claimed a Gears 6 reveal is happening soon, the latter claiming the title will be a “next-gen moment” for Xbox.
• We don’t know the scale of the reveal just yet, but let’s hope it’s not another ten-second tease followed by a fifty-year wait for the game’s actual release.

It’s been almost five years since the release of
Gears 5
, with only
minor development updates
and
rumors of PlayStation ports
to remind people the series is still alive. Given the way the game actually ends, it would have been surprising if we never actually got one, and it appears as though Xbox is getting ready to drop all the secrecy and give us a good look at the future of the
Gears of War
franchise this summer.

This is according to multiple industry insiders, who chimed in following Jeff Grubb’s claim in
the most recent Xcast episode
that Xbox is planning to “tease” Gears 6 later this year, possibly at some kind of Microsoft event this summer. Of course, when it comes to revealing games, plans are never set in stone, and Grubb himself has said that things could change between now and then, but that a tease “sounds about right”.

Grubb sounds pretty sure of himself during that clip, but his claim has been strengthened by several other fairly reputable insiders, including The Verge senior editor Tom Warren. Rather than add any additional details to Grubb’s claim, Warren simply says his claim is “correct”, with two people now claiming we’ll get some new or a small tease for Gears 6 this summer.

What Will Gears 6 Even Look Like?

Following these claims from both Grubb and Warren, another insider called NateTheHate weighed in with their knowledge of the project
via their Reset Era account
. In a couple of posts, they explained that they’d be “very surprised” if we didn’t get any news about Gears 6 at some point this year, but goes a step further by claiming the title will be a “next-gen moment” for Xbox, which is something the platform has been struggling to deliver.

On top of that, another industry insider – though not as reputable – called Shinobi602 has also suggested that
Gears 6 will be a bit of a looker
when it eventually releases, claiming that “people aren’t ready” for the title in response to people gushing over new screenshots and footage of Hellblade 2.

It’s not that surprising that Xbox will be doing its best to make sure Gears 6 is a system seller, with the series up alongside the likes of Halo, Fable, and Forza in terms of its importance to Xbox’s exclusive lineup. It sounds like we’re getting a small tease at the very least later this year, though hopefully we’re not waiting a billion years to see anything of substance like Xbox has done with previous reveals.
