Cliff Bleszinski, the creator and director of the original Gears of War trilogy, in an interview with Comic Book believes the franchise could use a reboot similar to God of War (2018).
"I believe Gears needs a little bit of a reboot, like God of War had, and I've always said, Phil Spencer has my number, I'm happy to consult," said Bleszinski. "Gears will always be near and dear to my heart.
"Late afternoon, if I have a mimosa in me, sometimes I'll go to YouTube and I'll look up key cut scenes from the Gears franchise, like Dom's death, or Dom having to put down his wife, and I read the comments."
The last entry in the series, Gears 5, released for the Xbox One and PC in September 2019, and for the Xbox Series X|S in November 2020.

I think one more game in the current style, continuing the current story, needs to occur. But, after that, I think a reboot makes sense.
i agree 100%
Well their names are only 3 letters apart so who can argue with that?
Well the franchise now belongs to MS so it is their decision
Reboot it into a first person shooter,
Just like gows fixed third person camera to over the shoulder camera lol,
Its not going to be a reboot of it's just same old third person over the shoulder it's just going to be a HD remaster lol
Please no. I play Gears for the Gears experience. Spin offs are okay but a Mainline game should continue carrying the formula that is considered by many, the best cover based shooter in the industry.
Gears 5 is my favourite Gears game, they just need to not stuff up the MP at launch.
I like 5 and dislike 4. I think what they're doing now is good and I'd like to see more of it. A gritty grounded reboot might be fine for like a 7 or whatever, but I don't think it really needs it.
Have we even heard anything officially about Gears 6? Seems a long way off
I've been saying this since Gears of war 3. The strategy game they released was an ok idea but I'd like to see something different. I was just happy to see they were at least trying new things with the franchise.
They can after they finish the current story, or better yet, work on a new IP
I'll play a Gears 6 but the current story is trash . I'd be fine if they started over.
It really doesn't
