Jez Corden of Windows Central has admitted to hearing about the lack of competitive multiplayer, though the reason is unknown.
The long-rumoured third-person shooter collection will also be released on day one for PlayStation 5, a prominent leaker has reiterated.
Following recent reports that the shooter was tentatively targeting a 2025 release, reports now claim it won't launch this year.
The remastered trilogy will be one of several PS5 releases by Microsoft. Whether a Switch 2 version is also incoming is unknown.
The Gears of War: Judgment developer is "pouring everything we have into creating an experience that will exceed expectations."
The two will be joined by Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, as per leaks.
Prominent insider NateTheHate claims the third-person shooter prequel is coming to Xbox Series X/S and PC sooner than some might think.
To no one's surprise, it has been confirmed that John DiMaggio and Carlos Ferro will reprise their roles as Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago.
Previous Gears of War boss Rod Fergusson has revealed that his plans for the series' next numbered entry prior to his departure involved a new setting.
The Coalition's Matt Searcy says the prequel will "feel like a new game. It's going to feel fresh and good at the same time."
"Gears has a pretty clear DNA for gameplay modes, so you can probably anticipate where we'll be going with E-Day," says Matt Searcy.
The third-person shooter was targeting a release sometime in 2025 until some months ago, it's been claimed.
The story is about being with its "leads every minute, through the days that play out of the city, and really experiencing it through their eyes."
Here's everything that's been revealed about the next mainline Gears of War entry.
Gears of War: E-Day is not only going back in time for its story, it's also going back to the first game's horror roots.
Unlike Gears 5, which experimented with semi-open world areas, E-Day is going to be an entirely linear experience.
The game will boast "over 100 times more environment and character details than Gears 5," according to The Coalition.
The prequel "adds detail and context to this period that will resonate through stories that will follow".
Set fourteen years before the events of the first game, Gears of War: E-Day is described as the franchise's next mainline entry.
With Microsoft and The Coalition reportedly set to announce the next Gears, here's what it could offer with its story events.
