The gaming world has seen several brilliant releases in 2023. Few have even broken several records and are considered to run for the Game of the Year. With so much happening in the gaming world, an old franchise might soon have a reboot. The Gears of War franchise might get a reboot, with the creator wanting it to be like God of War for the Xbox.
Marvel’s Spider-Man 3, Baldur’s Gate 3, Starfield, etc., had such hype and anticipation that they had sold millions of copies. Gears of War is a popular gaming franchise for Xbox lovers so a reboot will be an eye-catcher. Since the news, the fans have been flooding Twitter with several comments.
Gears of War Might Get A Reboot
Gears of War is one of the most popular video game franchises for the Xbox consoles. The first game was released on November 7, 2006. It had six games under its banner. But soon, it might be a reboot since its creator, Cliff Bleszinski, said to Comicbook that this series should get a reboot. He plans to make the reboot like the God of War (2018), but it will be an Xbox exclusive.

Gears of War is a third-person shooter game which features the battle between humanity and Locus Horde, a subterranean reptilian humanoid. This battle takes place on the planet of Sera. The video game has a great plot, but the last two games, including Gears 5, could not perform well, so a reboot is a great idea. It has the potential to be a record-breaking reboot, just like God of War. Even the fans are excited with speculations.
Fans React to Gears of War News
After Cliff Bleszinksi revealed his desires, the fans became excited. They could hardly control their emotions. The netizens have flooded the social media sites with posts regarding the latest speculations. One of the fans wrote that everything about the game is excellent, but it will be better if it comes with “new stories and combat mechanics”.
Yeah …they should definitely do that…the game is getting repetitive and boring every time….

Another remarked that the game was getting repetitive and gradually losing its ground. A reboot will be a new beginning for the franchise, so it is a great idea.

While few felt that the story and combat mechanics needed improvement, others said that the franchise’s story and combat mechanism are great but would like to see more from Gears of War.

Jon Hand Entertainment said the last two video games did not live up to the mark. It was more of a half-baked idea. He believes the story needs an overhaul and starts things from the beginning.
The problem is, none of the last two entries have felt like a concentrated effort. A lot of half-baked ideas. The story needs some major overhaul, for one thing.

Everyone in the gaming community is curious to see how things go down if this reboot occurs. Moreover, people will not get to play their favourite video games in a completely new story and mechanism every day.
