The Gears of War franchise has been lying dormant since its fifth instalment was released in 2019, but it appears the beast may be stirring again. The Gears of War X (formerly Twitter) account recently tweeted an intriguing holiday greeting, sparking speculations that an update may come in 2024.

Level designer Benjamin Hughe from The Coalition, the designer behind the Gears series, retweeted the holiday greetings from the official Gears X account, stating he will be seeing everyone in 2024. It has sent the comment section into a frenzy, with numerous speculations from Gears enthusiasts that his message may hint at upcoming 2024 news related to Gears of War 6.



The official Gears of War X (Twitter) may only be wishing their fans happy holidays, but Huyghe’s seemingly innocent message has captured their attention. While it could be a lighthearted expression of looking forward to the new year, the specificity of Huyghe’s comment in response to the official Gears of War account raises speculations. Could Huyghe be hinting at significant news about Gears 6 on the horizon? The Coalition's silence about its upcoming projects after the Gears 5 franchise released added an air of mystery to the situation.

The lead game designer, Cliff Bleszinski, behind the first three entries of the Gears of War series, shared positive sentiments about the development of Gears 6. Recently, he dropped an exciting hint about the series' future, potentially signalling the arrival of Gears of War 6. Bleszinski mentioned conversing with one of the writers involved in Gears 5, and his remarks strongly indicate positive developments.

The Gears of War series, a third-person shooter, has left fans eagerly awaiting news about the next instalment. The Coalition's decision to work on a new Gears of War game, with rumours abandoning earlier plans for a non-Gears-related project, has raised curiosity. As 2024 approaches, Xbox enthusiasts hope the year will bring official news on Gears of War 6 to put the spotlight back on the iconic franchise. While the whole situation is still shrouded with uncertainty, the prospect of an exciting update for Gears of War in 2024 is enough to get excited about.
