Hopefully its just for finishing touches and polish. Otherwise, this shit aint dropping this year.

Thats good, Bulletstorm was amazing, so was Painkiller obviously.

There doesnt seem to be a 2025 release date stated anywhere, so assume it's not coming this year.

 

[clarky]

Well this is a couple of years away then at least.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Definitely not 2025 lol

 

[envyzeal]

Gotta make sure the XSS version is as good as the PS5

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is awesome news. Really enjoyed Outriders, and hopefully this gets the game out faster.

 

[Astray]

Shades of Lucid Games helping out with the PS5 port of Sea of Thieves.

 

[Thief1987]

It's already 5+ years in development and they still need partners?

porting partners.

 

[MMaRsu]

porting partners.

People can Fly is not a porting studio.

Gears Judgment also made some sensible changes to the Gears formula like a faster pace and quick access grenades, that the original 3 didn't do.

PCF are a good choice for a co-developer, they have experience with multiple Gears projects themselves.

I never played Judgement, was it any good? Never bothered with them spin off games that came about as that console gen got extended like God of War Ascension.

Gears of War honestly used to be such a hallmark MS IP. I looked at 4 and 5 and just thought "Why?" (Not even trying to console war I used to be a 360 goon)

 

[RetroGamingUK]

This is a PS6 game isn’t it

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully they shake up things because if it's the same formula they can kiss my money goodbye.

Yeah it's fun, it has more of a 'mission based' structure than a single cohesive game start to end, but it's a bit faster paced than the original Gears games.

It got a 60fps boost on the Series consoles, so no better time to give it a shot.

The one game I’m REALLY looking forward to from MGS.

 

[Arsic]

These guys worked on the worst gears game with judgement. They should be kept away from the franchise altogether…

As a long time gears fan this is worrying news.

Might peep to see if I can get a pre owned cheap system for some Game Pass.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

The 2025 dream is dead.

 

[Lupin3]

I don't know how much "creative input" they had over Judgment, but except from the campaign, that game was a serious misstep. Hard to be excited, but hopefully it won't affect the game too much.

 

[Wolves hunt in packs]

Make GoW great again!

And i'm sure Eday will rock, the question will then be how do they take the series forward? while i did had fun with gears 4 and 5, it doesn't hold a candle to gears 1-3, so what? make more prequels?

 

[//DEVIL//]

Whatever it takes to release the game as soon as possible. Day one let's go !

 

[Ogbert]

I have no issue with this.

Outriders had enjoyable, visceral combat. They're talented.

 

[HJuggernaut]

Judgement was 2 cancelled DLCs ducktaped together. I dont have much fate in them.

 

[rm082e]

I don't care who's working on it. I will wait for reviews and player impressions once the game is out.

 

[HogIsland]

I'm excited about this, but I wonder if the franchise is milked-out. The Coalition kinda turned it into a marvel movie.

 

[WhereIzJP]

Can't wait hopefully it's this year if not I hope we get Gears collection instead if real.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I legit liked Judgement.

 

[Big Baller]

Didn't like Judgment but I loved Painkiller en liked Bulletstorm.

Let's make GoW great again!

 

[kevboard]

I have no issue with this.

Outriders had enjoyable, visceral combat. They're talented.

yeah Outriders was decent.
also I bet they are mostly used as support for coding not the design of the game. so it really doesn't matter which studio is used as a support studio here, as long as they know their way around UE5

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

This will have a new take on multiplayer right? Gears of War multiplayer has aged like hot bananas.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Outriders was a good blast. I think with guidance and help from coalition they could make something special.

Hope it speeds things up. Can’t wait to see it.

 

[SmokedMeat]

If I see empty rooms full of waist high walls and glowing ammo pick ups, toss it in the trash and start over.

[Moriarty1889]

I loved Judgment that they worked on. Good news indeed.

 

[StereoVsn]

Not particular fan of Judgement or Outriders but at least we’re both technically competent.

So fingers crossed.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Someone on reee claims that People Can Fly might have joined as co-devs on Gears E-Day in 2023, so there's still a good chance it might release this year

 

[LaughingStock]

Judgement is the only gears game I was too bored to finish.

I, personally, don't think it's a '25 title but let's see.
