It's been a half-decade since Gears 5 hit the shelves, and since then, The Coalition has kept its cards close to the chest, leaving fans clamoring for any insight into what the Canadian studio has brewing for the beloved franchise.

But it appears the silence is about to be broken. Offering a sneak peek into The Coalition's plans, industry insider Jeff Grubb spilled the beans during a recent episode of the Kinda Funny XCast. Grubb, known for his credible insights, hinted at when the gaming community might catch a glimpse of Gears 6.

According to Grubb's intel, fans might not have to wait much longer. If his sources are to be believed, The Coalition is gearing up to drop a tantalizing teaser for Gears 6 as early as this June. The discussion sparked when podcast host Parris Lilly casually remarked, "Remember when they unveiled that jaw-dropping Marvel 1943 trailer running on Unreal Engine 5 during GDC? I joked on Twitter about how mind-blowing Gears 6 would be on Unreal 5."

"And then, someone from The Coalition dropped a mysterious little tweet in response to mine, which got me thinking. So, my hunch is they're planning a tease this year, possibly followed by a full release as a flagship title for the next-gen consoles. It just makes sense, doesn't it?"

In response, Grubb chimed in, saying, "I've heard some whispers about potential developments with Gears 6 this summer, so I think your speculation sounds pretty spot-on, Parris. That's what I'm hearing, at least." The pertinent snippet of their conversation can be found below:

While this rumor remains unverified, gamers eagerly await any official announcements from Xbox.
