This is an excellent roadmap you made For the future of the franchise. Hopefully once E-Day is successful Then maybe It would be the first game of a prequel trilogy of sorts Maybe the second game would cover Marcus and Dom in 5 AE or maybe covering the Fall of Landown/the winter of sorrow with the final game of the trilogy ending with the Fall of Ephyra essentially tell the whole Marcus Trying to rescue his dad That they were originally planned For a canceled DLC for Gears of War 3 Essentially an adaptation of gears of war the slab or The first chapters then ending with Marcus Being sent to prison as Neat tie of a bowl style of ending!
You know what'd be an awesome DLC concept? A squad of COG, UIR and Stranded banding together for survival against the Locust. (Maybe make it a couple of hours after E-Day.) Maybe call it "Day Zero." (Or "Zero Hour.")
@@KingAbzTV honestly after this and the cliffhanger of 5 they have to stop the story cuz their getting close to halo n we don’t want gay black disabled and trans I’ve been quite for too long someone has to say it 😂😂
I havent played a Gears game since 3 and had taken a break from the franchise altogether, but your channel and especially your shorts content covering the awesome lore has got me interested in the series again. You seem genuinely passionate about the games and the lore, good stuff man.
Excellent video, if only Microsoft/Coalition had hired you for lead Creative Director instead! I like your ideas Abz, hopefully they get E-Day right and the franchise doesn't die..
Haha appreciate you brother, I wouldn't do well as a Creative Director, I'd be happy if they stole some ideas from my videos, maybe a consultant would do
They were mostly wiped out by Karn and reappeared at the end of gears 3 to assist in the assault on Azura they were used more to insight the last ditch attempt at humanity banding together to survive 🔥
All of this was well thought out. Very impressive. My biggest wish is for this franchise to go back to its horror roots. Bring back the locust & make them terrifying again, like in GOW 1 & 2. The action-horror atmosphere of this franchise has just never hit the same, ever since the trilogy.
You could have an Onyx focused game matched with an exploration of the Lambent-Locust War. The game would be largely about a squad of specialists going into the Hollow for recon and genetic recovery - to see how far the Lambent have spread. Eventually the Locust locate your base of operation on Azura and you have to fight it out whilst an evacuation is attempted. Could end it like Halo Reach with the protagonist dying whilst completing their mission, maybe there is a time skip and you get to see Marcus and Alpha Squad encounter your body in a cutscene.
I just really would love to see a Carmine DLC about Clayton during operation hollow storm with Sam. Carmine's already a beloved fan favorite character, and sam is a solid character. It's just she needs more development. Maybe those 2 go back-and-forth, talking about their childhood. And we can even have an emotional moment when we clayton finds about Benjamin's death. I'm telling you, it's a great idea that they're just not doing
Gears Trilogy UE should have dropped in 2022. Gears 6 should be dropping this year. Next Gears product should then drop 2028, whether is a prequel or a sequel or a sidequel. They gotta start putting out Gears releases every 3 to 4 years
What I'd do: Make horde mode the stand alone live service with updates. Then give us a prequel trilogy of traditional campaign/PvP games that ends with the battle that brought Marcus to prison. Afterwards, explore pendulum wars, Lambent war, & spin-offs such as an RTS... also make the Gears 6 story a book, so that story just... ends... Maybe also remake the OG trilogy similar to how Resident Evil does it.
To get people talking start with a 2 and 3 remastered (judgement as dlc) an animated shorts that highlights significant events (the emulsion being found pendulum/locust cival wars unnamed cog pov during the war after the emulsion counter strike) new comics then fix gow 6
Gears should obviously release Marcus fenix collection, maybe do a trilogy for e day, of course finish gears 6 and maybe a trilogy for pendulum wars then the game series would feel complete they can stop making them after that but that gives us 8 more games to look forward to if we live that long to see them all lol
If I were to pitch a couple of gears ideas my top 2 are these ideas, 1st is a operation hollow storm game with Clayton as a sergeant, this could be a lil standalone for $40 like a halo 3 odst, or elden ring nightreign. I just think Clayton is a popular character that players would be hype to play as and seeing more of the hollow and the torture that the locust did would be interesting to see. 2. I would love to see a Gears of war onyx guard game, set it after judgement like the actual fall of Halvo bay, starts with our character like fighting with the rest of the onyx guard and loomis to push back the locust but they lose and we see loomis die, maybe at the hands of raam because if Karn was the one behind the assault of halvo bay and we know that halvo bay falls, it just makes sense that raam lead that second assault and wipes out the onyx guard and loomis, but after that battle our character is just trying to survive the city and escape, maybe it can be a lil bit of a stealth game if you want to play like that but the main goal is just to survive and escape.
I am on the same boat with you Abz, I dont think we should have a gears 6 as the story is just not interesting for a hardcore gears of war fan. Great video bro also I would love to see a Carmine story like when they were in the academy. I think that would be a pretty cool dlc for the fenix collection.
4:20 I don't think playing as locust on e-day is very interesting because isn't like humanity has a chance, if he have to atack military bases it might work but if we just atack towns it just sounds too easy
While I'm more than okay with and honestly advocate for E-day to release next year I will say I'm not fully against releasing E-Day this year as long as its ready, and while I've given up the idea, having an outsourced collection release next year for the 20th anniversary alongside a story expansion in E-Day for the occasion I think would be the best way to celebrate. The only reason I put E-Day first is that it is the origin of the series and the biggest moment of the series, having that context before jumping back into the original games I think would be really neat to have but I can see them ordering it either way if both happen. Ntm we still have the movie and animated series coming up which one could also be paired with the anniversary (I'm thinking the movie is a genuine possibility or alternative to the MFC idea). Personally, love and agree with the idea of abandoning 6 and just not doing it, and I honestly got that impression from TC anyways after their interviews last year. They kept their response professional and corporate but it came off as an easy way of letting the few who cared down easily. Idk how I feel about a full on reboot either, it depends on its execution honestly but I feel like they could even just reset from 4 and go from there however they would choose to do that, there was genuine promise in the concept of 4 and some of its ideas but its execution was very poor and I think with the right team it can be done justice. Regardless of all my rambling, great video and love the ideas!
Thanks Lake love to hear your thoughts whenever you comment! Not much I can add to your comment except I wouldn't reset 4 since I don't like the idea of the locust just coming back again and again and Dom's death meaning nothing at all unless the story is just way different like what CliffyB originally pitched maybe, but yeah
@@KingAbzTV I get that, I'm not against the idea of a generational species that's built to last but it does devalue Dom and Adam's sacrifices which is fair criticism. I just think the general idea of bringing in JD and maybe Fahz this time, keeping Anya alive and ditching Del and Kait for new cast members would at least be a better basis than what we got as very general groundwork. Like I said, I'm not fully against a reboot if it were to happen it just comes down to its execution and at minimum would have my interest.
If the fenix collection would be anything like Halo MCC then only gears2 would get a remaster. Gears3 still looks good similar to halo 3. Also have new multiplayer and maybe even some kind of “creative” map making. Oh and have the map button being the switch between graphics thing like what halo ce anniversary has would be sick
Great video! Saw you post it on twitter. I think Gears of war is in a interesting spot. I do like how its making a grand return and I appreciate especially as someone who has been playing the franchise since I was 8. I know people don't want Gears 6 or Gears of war 6 to happen but I think Microsoft, Xbox & TC are gonna do 3 things with E-day. If E-day happens to be a hit which it probably will thanks with the Game pass support I think and may sound weird I think Gears of war should reboot. If TC wants to do Gears 6 finish Kait's story but have to be some twists in there to spruce up the gameplay. Or Follow up E-day's success and do those spinoffs like Locust & Lambent, UIR etc. I think and I could be wrong but people talk about Gears 5 like it was the worst thing they saw and how the devs messed it up. In a way we as fans took it for granted and asked them to go back to a darker tone for what made the franchise in the first place. Look at the long wait we have now. I'm interested in the future after E-day because out of the 4 horsemen for Xbox I think Gears will change the landscape again & probably for the better. I do have a feeling if the collection is true would be a awesome time to introduce fans to the series in the shoes of Marcus & Dom.
Love the video and would love to have a campaign or dlc campaign to play as the locust like the shadow of raam dlc. Also I do disagree on the killing the gears 6 story I was enjoying the story even with its flaws. Would love to get gears 6 to wrap up the gears 5 story then continuing with the plan you laid out
honestly i would love for them to make a strictly locust game where we see them struggle to survive in the hollow and their war against the lambent before going after the surface. it will be subtle but this game could act as a kind of soft reboot and it would give the developers time to create a new gears of war story.
3:30 I know where you are coming from but I would prefer to not see gears evolve like Fortnite, the reason people play Fortnite isn't for the love of the characters or the iconic maps, they play for the goofy characters and the always new multiplayer. I feel like they should stick at shacking up a bit the meta and giving the players some challenges for some free rewards
Not really, gears J was released after the trilogy, prequels releasing after happens across many iP’s, happened in Halo, even DOOM releasing in a few months is a prequel
As much as I fully agree with a lot of what is said in the video I think that it is largely for the most part unrealistic unfortunately gears of war is a dying community and whilst I belive it can be redeemed I just don't see them taking the risk. Personally I believe the gears collection exists and what will come first is up for debate but gears 6 is inevitable maybe we will get a eday sequal at the same time but the amount of content described in the video is never going to happen.
I think once the collection rehabilitates the community and franchise and e day is hopefully a success, then they can start taking calculated risks on some of these other projects that I mentioned in the video
Gears of War's future feels exciting once again, hope runs deep!
Let me know which future Gears of War games you want to see!

Hell yeah that would be awesome

I'm not kissing ass, but abz really should be employed by TC
I really wanna see the Locust's perspective throughout E-Day.
I would like to see a dlc with UIR around e-day, and how they started to fade away
They were mostly wiped out by Karn and reappeared at the end of gears 3 to assist in the assault on Azura they were used more to insight the last ditch attempt at humanity banding together to survive 🔥
Turn gears 5 into a nightmare that Marcus had during Operation Hollow Storm 🤣
This man speaks the unfiltered truth.

I need that video right now 14:36
For the longest time, I thought thats what the gears ultimate edition was for some reason.(Being a collection)
They could do one like this: Gears of War: Vectes, after the events of Gears of War 2….
I am on the same boat with you Abz, I dont think we should have a gears 6 as the story is just not interesting for a hardcore gears of war fan. Great video bro also I would love to see a Carmine story like when they were in the academy. I think that would be a pretty cool dlc for the fenix collection.
13:36 - 13:45 Amen!!
Switch 2 release like Halo franchise looks healthy for the franchise.
4:20 I don't think playing as locust on e-day is very interesting because isn't like humanity has a chance, if he have to atack military bases it might work but if we just atack towns it just sounds too easy
don't forget that the COG military would be much stronger on E day compared to the trilogy, alongside the UIR

Reboot Gears of Wars but cover the story with a different squad. That way anything can happen, but we still get the Locust-COG-Lambent war

Gears of War Cinematic Universe Microsoft Marvel 😅
Or get to play as the locust
An release it on ps5
