Breaking Down the Rumors Surrounding Gears of War: E-Day on PS5

A recent job advertisement has sparked rumors that a PlayStation 5 version of Gears of War: E-Day is in the works at The Coalition. However, it’s important to manage your expectations as this speculation may not hold much weight.

How a job ad spawned bizarre headlines about Gears of War: E-Day on PS5

The job posting by The Coalition is for a Senior Online Client Engineer position. Among the desired qualifications, the studio mentions “experience with Xbox Live, PSN, Steam, or other online gaming platforms.” The inclusion of PSN has led some to believe that Gears of War: E-Day is headed to the PS5. But in reality, it’s not that straightforward.

Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that The Coalition is simply looking for someone with experience in various online gaming platforms. PSN is cited as an example, not as a confirmation of Gears of War’s arrival on the PS5. The absence of Nintendo’s platform from the list is due to it being in a different category altogether.

While Microsoft may consider expanding its game library to PlayStation, including franchises like Gears of War, this particular rumor seems to have stemmed from a misunderstanding of the job ad.
