Summary
JD Fenix voice actor Liam McIntyre has teased the possibility ofGears of War 6finally being revealed in June. It has been almost five years since the last game in the franchise was released, and there is reason to believe thatGears of War 6may finally be on the way.
Gamers have been extremely patient in the wait forGears of War 6, with a five-year gap matching the longest previous time between mainline releases in the series. Recently, multiple insiders have rumored that aGears of War 6announcement could be coming this summer, although that doesn’t necessarily mean that the long-awaited title will be released this year. In fact, those same rumors suggest that the upcomingGears of Wartitle could go on to become a launch title for the next Xbox console generation, which would suggest that the game is some time away yet.
Liam McIntyre, who has played the role of JD Fenix since 2016’sGears of War 4, confirmed on Twitter that he has “no idea” what is happening to his character, although he expects that The Coalition “tells us all in June.” McIntyre’s answer has some interesting implications. If he has truly no idea what the future holds for his character, it suggests that The Coalition has yet to contact him about a return. This could suggest that aGears 5endinghas been chosen as canon - previously, players were left on the cliffhanger of choosing between saving one of Del Walker and JD Fenix. It remains to be seen if The Coalition decides to make a definitive decision between the two for the nextGears of Wargame.
JD Fenix Voice Actor Teases June Gears of War 6 Reveal
McIntyre not being involved at this stage doesn’t necessarily cement anything about his character, one way or the other. While he was the primary protagonist ofGears of War4, thestory ofGears 5took a new direction, focusing on Kait Diaz as the main character. A reveal ofGears of War 6could certainly happen without using the character of JD Fenix, with The Coalition instead waiting to reveal his fate to players.
After a few years on hiatus, it certainly seems as though theGears of Warfranchise is on the verge of a return. With the potential of a sixth mainline game in the series and aGears of Warlive-action movie still planned at Netflix, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to. Rumors continue to swirl over the possibility of aGears of Warremastered collection, although nothing is confirmed in this regard. Gamers should definitely keep an eye on Xbox’s showcase in June, as this is where any futureGears of Warnews is likely to arrive this summer.
