E3 is making a return this year and Microsoft has been confirmed to be part of this year's expo, which will be a digital-only event. Developer The Coalition released Gears 5 in September 2019 and fans are looking forward to Gears 6.
VentureBeat journalist Jeff Grubb in a recent live stream said that an announcement for Gears 6 at E3 2021 is very unlikely.
"Not optimistic," said Grubb when asked about how optimistic Gears fans should be when it comes to Gears 6 at E3 2021. "They have too much else going on."
Microsoft is focused on launching Halo Infinite this holiday season, so it is most likely Gears 6 won't release until holiday 2022 or later. That would give the game a minimum of three years of development time.

Not surprising, MS needs to launch more AAA content rather than keep making announcements.
I hope they took notes on the Halo Infinite hype and are taking Gears 6 back to its roots. Gears 5 didn't capture the desperation, the darkness, the emotion of the first three games. It didnt even do justice to the groundwork Gears 4 built up. Also giving players "that" choice- you know the one I mean- was a terrible idea.
I have played and finished all the Gears games and 5 is in the top 3. Absolutely loved it.
I've played all except Judgement. I think the multiplayer and gunplay as always is great. I just hated the story. and environments. We lost proper gore, got a brighter colour palette etc and a more cartoonish and less horrid enemies. The new score is good but doesn't suit the franchise in the way that Gears 4's did. weaker characters. The open world sections were just vast open areas between bitesized missions. It just seemed like they tried to hard to appeal to new gamers that they lost a lot of what made the franchise fantastic
huh? Gears 4 was quite disappointing, Gears 5 was one of the best, especially in co-op
People were expecting gears 6 are dreaming. Same with starfield releasing this year.
