Thank you to all the fans out there who have been on this journey with us. During a worldwide pandemic and working from home, the team launched a first strategy title, Gears Tactics; re-launched Gears 5 and Tactics on Xbox Series X|S hardware with performance upgrades and features; revamped Gears 5 multiplayer with a ton of content and updates; and capped the year with the first mainline campaign expansion – Gears 5: Hivebusters – in almost a decade."

Gears: Hiatus
This is good news and bad news..
Good news is when they do release the game.. it'll likely meet next gen standards or even excel beyond it..
Bad news.. this being one of Xbox's biggest IP.. meaning no Gears (as a next gen exclusive) for the next couple years for Series X/S owners.. is still quite a blow.
I hope they remaster Gears 2 and 3!!
