Alongside release dates for other major Xbox series

Gears 6will be announced on June 9th, according to a report byThe Verge.

It’s been five years since the release ofGears 5. Since then, series stewards The Coalition have co-developed turn-based spin-offGears Tacticsand offered developer support to Microsoft stablemate Halo Infinite. There were rumours last year that The Coalition had cancelled two unannounced games in order to focus on production of the next Gears Of War.

General perception is that the Gears series has been off the boil since creators Epic moved on from the series, but Matthew (RPS in peace) had plenty of nice things to say aboutGears 5 in his review. He praised the addition of light RPG elements, its visual razzle-dazzle and its clever action set pieces.
