The Cole Train ain’t stoppin’
- by Ben Kerry
After what’s been years and years of rumour and speculation, we might just have our strongest evidence of a Gears of War remaster collection yet. Well-known Xbox leaker eXtas1s has posted a new video that breaks down a bunch of stuff going on over at Microsoft right now – and he’s claimed that the Gears collection is real and being planned for PS5.
The clip in question is in Spanish, but a post over at gaming forum Resetera has taken the Gears chunk and given it a quick Google Translate. Here’s what’s eXtas1s said, roughly translated to English:
“I can talk about Gears Collection because Gears Collection has cost me a lot to corroborate its existence, but it seems that it exists and I can confirm that at the moment in which Gears Collection is announced, which I don’t know when it will be, but it will be announced as multiplatform day one.
I repeat again. When these kinds of remasters are announced, remasters of the old Gears games are going to be able to be cross-platform play simultaneously. The only thing I haven’t been able to confirm is the launch of a Switch version but it can be played cross-platform on PC, Xbox and PlayStation.”
Of course, the translation is a bit messy considering it’s just been thrown through Google’s online translation tool, but the core information is there. According to the often-accurate leaker, this Gears Collection is seemingly real – and although we don’t have a date yet, it’s set to come to Xbox, PS5 and PC when it eventually launches.
The insider has also retweeted the below post, which quickly summarises the news with a link to their video:
It goes without saying that this Gears Collection hasn’t been announced by Microsoft yet, so it’s worth taking all of this information with a pinch of salt – even if it’s coming from a pretty reliable source. The timing of this leak is quite intriguing though, especially on the back of Xbox boss Phil Spencer being spotted revisiting the 360 versions of Gears 2 and 3 in recent weeks.
