Summary
Rumors surrounding aGears of WarMarcus Fenix Collectioncontinue to persist, following its mention on a prevalent Xbox-themed podcast. Fans of the franchise have long hoped for aGears of Warcollection, similar toHalo’sThe Master Chief Collection, and it looks like it may be in the works after all.
AGears of WarMarcus Fenix Collectionwould presumably include upgraded versions of the original three games, in which Marcus Fenix is the primary protagonist. It’s not known whether these would be complete remasters, or slight visual upgrades with increased frames per second. Rumors of aGears of Warcollection first surfacedall the way back in 2015, but these hopes were shot down before the year ended. Since then, rumors have repeatedly resurfaced, but have never formed into anything concrete. However, if this podcast host is to be believed, it’s very much in the works.
The host of the Double Barrel Gaming Podcast, known as MrBoomStickXL, claimed that theMarcus Fenix Collection"1000% exists" and is in development. While manyGears of Warfans are probably hesitant to get their hopes up over such a possibility, it seems that such a collection may be coming sooner rather than later. Of course, it’s still hearsay at this point, so if the project is in fact real, fans will likely be hoping for additional leaks to come out over the next couple of months.
This lines up with a leak from earlier this year, when an insider claimed thatGears of Warremasters were in the works. Since then, the rumor mill has remained largely quiet until now, so fans are probably excited to know that insiders are still claiming that it’s happening.
The firstGears of Wargame is now over 17 years old, so it would make sense for The Coalition, or another studio, to revamp the classic game and its two sequels for modern hardware. It’s been confirmed that aGears of Warmovie is in the works at Netflix, and will likely be based around Marcus Fenix. So, it’s possible that this rumoredMarcus Fenix Collectionmay be released in tandem with Netflix’s live-action retelling of theGears of Warstory.
Following thesuccess ofHalo’sThe Master Chief Collection,Gears of Warfans have thought it would be a logical step for their favorite games to get the same treatment. However,The Master Chief Collectionhad an extremely rough launch, so this allegedMarcus Fenix Collectionmight end up outshining Xbox’s flagship character.
