As we look to future games, we're excited to start shifting our resources to next-gen development using Unreal Engine 5. Gears of War has always been at the front of Unreal Engine development - as a breakout 720p title for Xbox 360 through last year's 120FPS multiplayer update for Xbox Series X|S - and we're excited to continue that tradition by developing on UE5 for multiple new projects in the coming years.
Originally released on PC and Xbox One in September 2019, Gears 5 made the jump to next-gen with a port for Xbox Series X|S in November 2020. The Coalition is now building on Unreal Engine 5 for upcoming content, including Operations 7 and 8, targeting improved visuals for players on the new console.
